2 GENERAL

The MAMBOII operating with firmware version 2.4.0 and later (using eCos operating
system) offers a speedy development of system solutions within the fields of:
•
Fleet management with GPS-location
• vehicle security
•
Web based client-server applications (built-in TCP-IP and PPP stack internet
capable protocols)
• Real-time navigation
•
and many others ...

2.1 Features of the Firmware

The internal operating firmware (using eCos operating system) of MAMBOII unit is a
fundamental component, which in combination with the excellent hardware
performance makes the MAMBOII device to be the best application where the
personal security and fleet management today are required. It is an application
designed to be deployed in the field of fleet management and specifically designed and
developed for personal tracking and security.
The firmware 2.4.x offers a range of benefits:
 Advanced to work in different modes (GSM and GPRS/TCP, Bluetooth, WLAN
communications),
 Allows full Internet access over GPRS,
 Advantages in terms of cost and speed, with low costs option for Web- based client-
server applications (always on-line - pay only for the data you send or receive),
 Remote configuration and communication over GSM and TCP, more specifically; SMS
message or TCP packet generation, voice & data calls,
 Remote firmware upgrades (it is implemented, but it is not tested yet),
 Supports up to four different power saving features (four different sleep modes),
 Automatically switching between GSM and TCP working modes,
 Automatically connecting/disconnecting to/from the remote services (GPRS network &
/TCP server),
 Buffers all GPS
 Operator
(GSM.OPERATOR.SELECTION parameter configuration-dependent).
 Redirects commands and messages from one communication channel to another
one,
 Tracks down the initialization/execution of firmware, monitors runtime errors from
different communication interfaces (Locally, GSM and TCP),
 Locates vehicle position by GPS (collects information from vehicle and transfers it to
the control center both on demand and at regular intervals via SMS and TCP for
vehicle tracking and recovery)
 Locates and tracks vehicles equipped with MAMBOII on-line using WebMap from
Internet,
 Controls the speed of vehicle
 In a short time interval individual or multiple units can be tracked at any time or
location,
 Supports simple to complex alarm settings,
 Supports vibration alert when receiving a call,
