Gpacers Poseidon Tracking Rescue System

Main function

Gpacers Technology is a company focused on innovative solutions

involving IoT marine applications. The newly released Gpacers Poseidon

Tracker is designed for personal safety and is a portable, long-distance,

real time surface tracking system which is fully autonomous and doesn’t

rely on any telecom system, thereby allowing it to be operated in very

remote areas.

Each GPT (Gpacers Poseidon Tracker) can be set to transmitter,

receiver, or repeater mode. This flexible design allows the GPT Rescue

System to be easily configured as a private IoT mesh network for tracking

and data transmission.

In addition to distress alerts, other precautions can also be set: (1)

when personnel drift out of a user-defined safety zone (2) weak, or loss of,

signal and (3) when personnel are in the vessel impact warning zone. All

data is also recorded to share, for playback, or for further study.

Other functions are: 100 m waterproof to satisfy technical diving

requirements; Battery endurance of 4~7 days on a single charge;

Underwater illumination by a 1.5 W LED at night and up to 100 people

can be tracked simultaneously, allowing the GPT Rescue System to be

used for military and large groups.

Basic Usage

The Poseidon Tracking System requires at least two machines, one set to

transmitter mode carried by personnel and one set to receiver mode and

linked to a smart device. This device runs the Gpacers App, which allows

for safety surveillance and detects and relays alerts to protect personnel.

Exterior

Body: H-W-T 10x7x5 cm ;

Antenna: H-D 6.1x1.5 cm ;

Weight: 300 g.

Application field

Various extreme sports such

as diving, sailing, mountain

climbing, military training,

maritime training, etc. But it

can also be used to track

other objects, such as drones.

Effective Surveillance Range

When a repeater is not used, the effective surveillance range is

equivalent to the transmission distance, but when a repeater is used

this range increases substantially.

The Line of Sight transmission distance can exceed 200 km.

However, on land the transmission distance is mainly limited by the

terrain, and more obstacles result in a decreased transmission

distance. The curvature of the earth is the major constraint to the

transmission distance in marine applications. The higher the altitude

at which the receiver and transmitter are placed, the farther the

transmission distance.

Uses for a GPT in repeater mode

When tracking personnel over a large distance, the receiving terminal (GPT

linked to a mobile device) can be set up in a rescue helicopter. A drone with an

attached GPT in repeater mode can also be used to increase the transmission

range. Placing the repeater at a higher altitude will accordingly increase the

transmission range. In order to overcome numerous obstacles, multiple repeaters

can be placed at a higher altitude to achieve and maintain an increased

transmission range.

Maximum Transmission Distance

The received Relative Signal Strength Indicator（RSSI）and

Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) readings can be used to estimate

the maximum transmission distance。

According to the data obtained in this experiment, it is

estimated that the maximum transmission distance is around

200km, while the best data shows an optimal transmission

distance of 370km。

Marine Applications■ In marine applications, the curvature of the earth is the major constraint to the transmission distance.

■ The higher the altitude at which the receiver and transmitter are placed, the farther the transmission distance is.

■ In absence of obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver, the maximum transmission distance ( km ) of the GPT system 𝑑 = 4.2 ∗ ( 𝐻𝑡 + 𝐻𝑟 ) , is shown in the table. While the effective stable transmission distance is about 70% of the maximum transmission distance.
