How GPS/GSM Trackers Really Work?

GPS and GSM vehicle tracking system are being widely popular nowadays as they continue to serve multiple purpose. GSM, which stands for Global System for Mobile Communication, is a standard in mobile phones. With the help of a satellite network, which revolves around the earth twice a day, provides accurate tracking using triangulation method. The GPS GSM technology can be used on cars, fleets, elderly relatives, children and pets equally well.

In order to use this technology, your mobile phone must have GPS technology installed. This means not only the software but also the hardware which supports it. Gladly, this feature is now almost ubiquitous in mobile phones. GSM networks come into play when it comes to actual tracking. When and if the phone is turned on, these networks capture the signal, then sends it to the satellite for processing and the satellites sends the data to the person with the query. There is a need of network service providers, those who enable communication between mobile phones, as well. The phone must have a SIM card installed which connects to the service provider network as often these networks double up as GSM networks. Using these combinations, the actual location of the GPS GSM enabled phone can be known.

Tracking in real time needs installation of tracking software in the mobile handset as well. There are so many of these commercial software available in the market. We shall not name any commercial product here but a general internet search should find you a lot of those. Once it is installed, one needs to activate it following the instructions by the software maker.
