Active Technology is an initiative by the tech savvy Engineer Mr V.P Ramachandran as CEO ably supported by Mr Shefiq Bhasheer Ahmmed an automobile Engineer by profession and Mr Daji Thomas, an IT Professional as Directors. The group has diverse business interests in India, Singapore and Middle East.

The ever increasing road accidents and the need for personal and vehicle security has prompted Active Technologies to bring in devices which are increasingly becoming popular in the world today. These devices works on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GPRS which are highly useful for personal and business purposes. GPS has been described as "The Most Precise Navigation System Ever Invented".

I-Alert trackers introduced by Active Technologies boasts of uninterrupted support from their own dedicated server The dealer network in Kerala would be equipped to reach I-Alert to every nook and corner of Kerala.

I-Alert has plans to be a national brand in the near future with a large product range to follow.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) developed by the United States Department of Defense and managed by the United States Air Force 50th Space Wing. It is the only fully functional GNSS in the world, can be used freely by anyone, anywhere, and is often used by civilians for navigation purposes. It uses a constellation of between 24 and 32 medium Earth orbit satellites that transmit precise radio wave signals, which allow GPS receivers to determine their current location, the time, and their velocity. Its official name is NAVSTAR GPS.

Since it became fully operational on April 27, 1995, GPS has become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide, and a useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, tracking and surveillance, and hobbies such as geocaching. Also, the precise time reference is used in many applications including the scientific study of earthquakes and as a required time synchronization method for cellular network protocols such as the IS-95 standard for CDMA.

A GPS receiver receives information from these satellites and uses it to locate it. GPS works best in open environments, with an accuracy of a few meters under good conditions.

GPS tracking with iAlert based on GPS receivers that have a connection to the Internet so that they can transmit their position information to iAlert Server. Common objects to track include persons, vehicles, animals and valuable assets.

To be able to track an object you need a GPS device with an Internet connection, access to an iAlert Server and a web browser. This is depicted below:

1. Locating the object : This is done by placing a GPS on the object. There are mobile phones with built-in GPS, small GPS devices dedicated for personal tracking, fixed mount GPS devices for vehicle tracking, etc. As long as the GPS is turned on its position information is constantly updated, so "it knows where it is".

2. Sending the objects position information to a server : By connecting the GPS to the Internet it's position information can be sent to a iAlert Server in real time. This is usually done over GPRS in a mobile network using a standard mobile subscription or over a satellite communication link in areas without mobile network coverage. A dedicated GPS tracking device has both a GPS and a mobile subscription or satellite module built in for this purpose. Other devices with an Internet connection, such as mobile phones, PDAs or laptops can of course also be used as clients.

3. Reporting the objects position : When the objects position has been sent to the iAlert Server it can be seen in a web browser. Security settings define who can see what. Depending on the user needs the objects position can be shown on a map in real time, sent as emails or SMS. Historical reports can be created showing track history; alerts can be triggered on object behavior, etc. There are additional things to consider in this process, such as; security around who should be able to see what objects; historical track storage and retrieval; management of operator roles; etc. These are issues that are handled by the GpsGate platform.
