Re: [Gumstix-users] GPS Transponder

[Demetris Z. <fgc...@cy...>]

I have successfully used Telit GSM modules to send GPS data with GPRS on
gumstix with AT commands and PPPD + Chat

But I think for a solution as simple as this you don't even need a gumstix. 

You can simply use the module + PIC + your GPS device to send data to a
static IP on the internet without the need of gumstix.

Subject: [Gumstix-users] GPS Transponder

Hi all,
I would like to use Gumstix to build a GPS transponder. It would need to 
have a GPS unit as well as a communications module of some kind. It 
would need to periodically take GPS fixes, and then communicate these 
fixes to a server on the Internet. GPRS or HSDPA would be fine, both are 
available in the areas of interest. I have not been able to find a 
cellular communications module for Gumstix though. Wifi will not 
suffice, as the transponders will usually not be within range of a 
usable Wifi signal.

I have been quoted a price on these units, however I'm sure that they 
can be made far more cheaply using Gumstix.

Thanks!
