Description
This project encompasses the development of a tracking device using more than one means of RF communication. Users of these trackers find the cost of satellite telemetry excessive and as such require a device that will intelligently determine the best telemetry path, either satellite or cell phone. The product produced in this project will accomplish that goal.
Description (French)
Ce projet comprend le développement d'un dispositif de suivi utilisant plus d'un moyen de communication RF. Les utilisateurs de ces traqueurs trouvent que le coût de la télémétrie par satellite est excessif et, à ce titre, ils ont besoin d'un dispositif, qui détermine intelligemment la meilleure voie de télémétrie, soit par satellite ou par téléphone cellulaire. Le produit réalisé dans le cadre de ce projet permettra d'atteindre cet objectif.
