2. Overview
The ATLAS PL GPS transponder is a rugged high-speed UHF data modem with a built-in
12-channel GPS receiver. It has ½ to 5 watts of RF power output, and operates as both a
GPS transponder for tracking, and a radio modem for sending and receiving data.
The ATLAS PL is configured for operation as a Personal Locator. All Raveon GPS
tracking products are configured using the GPS x command, and the ATLAS PL is GPS
mode 8 (GPS 8). It comes configured from the factory this way.
Personal Locator:
As well as sending position and status, the ATLAS PL also has a radio modem with
integrated RS232/422/485 interface.
For privacy and security, over-the air encryption is standard on every ATLAS PL radio. For
network versatility, the ATLAS PL incorporates a 16-bit identification code, allowing up to
65,000 objects to be identified in one system. For wide-area coverage, all ATLAS PL
transponders may be set to store-and-forward messages from other ATLAS PL
transponders.
