stand alone GPS reporting device and wireless data retrieval unit. The GPS-208 provides a flexible AVL solution with

three inputs, an ignition input and two outputs. The GPS-208 is designed to work as a stand-alone device in a vehicle. It

requires DC power. No antennas are required – the GPS and quad-band GSM antennas are built in to the GPS-208.

The GPS-208 has a V

fire rated plastic housing. The SIM holder is internal. The interface connector is a 16-pin Molex

I/O connector. There are three LED indicators.
