Appendix A – Unit Communication in Starcom
Systems
Kylos Compact is the mobile component of Starcom's advanced tracking and
monitoring system. The system uses advanced software algorithms for field
tracking of units and provides customers with a selection of real-time
information about the tracked device. The following image illustrates the
Starcom Systems communication channels.
The unit transmits messages according to the values specified in Kylos
Parameters > Transmission Rates settings (GPRS, SMS).
When the unit's modem is turned on, it tries to connect to the network and
transmit via GPRS (4 attempts: 2 on the first server and 2 on the second
server). If it fails to connect to the network, it will switch to the SMS channel
(if it is configured to transmit via SMS) after about 4 minutes, because it makes
four attempts to connect via GPRS. It will constantly try to transmit via SMS.
