The FALCOM STEPP III is a Plug & Play GSM/GPRS/GPS terminal with an embedded configurable software application. The device concept is targeting for direct implementation as a mobile client in a wide range of high volume, low-cost, flexible system solutions like AVL, fleet management, vehicle security and recovery and other related areas.

The tracking functionality of the embedded mobile client application is combined with variety of alert messaging capabilities.

The configurable alert messages contain current position and status report and use 2 digital and 4 analogue inputs and 4 digital outputs as hardware backbone. In addition to that two predefined inputs are detecting ignition line and main power (car battery) failure. Depending on the specific system solution scenario four digital outputs allow the remote control of external actuators. The integrated two audio channels allow voice communication too.

The STEPP III concept reduces the efforts for the creation of a turn key tracking and security solution to the definition of the server (dispatcher) application. In this way the time-to-market, the design-in risk and the total cost of solution are substantially reduced.

The STEPP III-Evalkit provides an easy and efficient way to evaluate and configure all system parameters of the mobile client. The configuration of the STEPP III can be done via local serial link or remotely via the GSM network.
