1.1 General

MAMBO2

  is an advanced personal tracker and personal tracking system that uses a 

quad-band GSM/GPRS technology for  two way communication  and the  latest GPS 
technology for positioning. It has a high sensitivity GPS Helix antenna that receives GPS 
signals from all direction and helps the GPS engine to get a fix more quickly. MAMBO2 
as an all-in-one handheld product and equipped with a sophisticated software allows 
system integrators and developers the possibility to develop their own cost efficient and 
flexible applications in both SMS and TCP communication modes. This gives MAMBO2 
the ability to transmit its position not only to your cell phone by SMS, but also to an 
internet server by GPRS using the inside TCP/IP stack. MAMBO2 can be used as a cell 
phone  with  the  standard   features   such  as data  call and SMS, all through  a simple 
menu-guided operation. It can be carried along in a pocket, backpack or fixed in a 
vehicle.   Emergency   alarms   can   be   done   by   pressing   a   specific   key   and   reporting 
current location, date and time. This option should be pre-configured by the system 
integrators. Therefore, you can quickly and easily track the position of the MAMBO2 
device. This product has a unique geo-fence feature used to report if the device (

e.g. 

the person who is carrying it 

) moves from a particular location or deviates from a pre-

defined route. Additional  applications include fleet management tracking, personal 
security   for   independent   workers,   safety   locator   devices   for   police   officers   and 
fire/rescue personnel, and so much more.
MAMBO2 offers an OLED display, two-soft keys and a navigation key that allow 
users to easily navigate menus, send SMS, release alarms or graphically view all 
your GPS information with detailed statistics on a large and brilliant screen. The 
MAMBO2's firmware can be upgraded remotely (over-the-air over Internet).
The  MAMBO2  connects   the   PC   USB   port  and   allows   device   programming, 
debugging and battery charging from the same port. 
The   device   functions   are   software   configuration   dependant.   In  order   to   insert   your 
device in your application you need to configure it. For more details, have a look in the 
software documentation called “

Mambo2PFALCommandsReferenceGuide.pdf

”.

MAMBO2 

can be used in a variety of applications such as:

Personal safety and security,

Remote tracking (Locating people),

Fleet tracking and management,

Real-time Navigation and Positioning,

Trip management and many others …
