RAVEON GPS Data Radios has its roots grounded in GPS tracking and industrial Data Radio.
All RAVEON Data Radios can do GPS and GNSS tracking and monitoring. The RV-M21 and RV-M22 Tech Series data radios have GPS options. The ATLAS is battery powered.
There are many GPS features in all of our Data Radios that do GPS.
Here is a list of popular GPS features we invented.
GPS and GNSS Transponders
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is Satellite Configuration!
GPS/GNSS Many devices use the Phrase GNSS is many popular GNSS features.
- Raveon Radios uses GPS chips that can also use GNSS.
- GNSS is Global Navigation Satellite System. GRS, GSA, GST, GSV.
- You can configure GNSS in the Radio, is you wan to use it.
- Our radios can Pop-Out the GPS/GNSS with NMEA messages.
- NMEA messages: NMEARMC NMEAVTG NMEAGGA NMEAGLL
- Radios Output and accepts NMEA 0183 GLL, TLL, WPT, GSV, and PRAVE messages
- Raveon created a better message: PRAVE with better information to send out
A GNSS receiver uses the navigation message sent from the GNSS satellites.
We have a great GNSS Receiver chip in our Data Radios.
It tracks the pseudoring and Doppler raw observable measurements to provide a GNSS system with the receiver’s position,.
GNSS stands for normal Global Navigation Satellite System, and it is the standard generic term for satellite navigation.
Systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage.
Terms includes e.g. the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou and other regional systems.
GNSS is a term used worldwide and advantage to having access to multiple satellites is accuracy, availability, and redundancy at times.

Personnel Monitoring and Alerting
The RavTrack GPS tracking system from Raveon Technologies Corporation provides continuous
GPS tracking and safety monitoring of personnel and vehicles. It works virtually anywhere in the world.
Quickly locating personnel is beneficial to search and rescue crews, crucial to ensuring the safety of personnel, and very helpful in creating a clear picture of a situation.
Commanders can review exercises, replay incidents, and monitor trainee performance.
This ATLAS GPS Tracker Radio is super safe for Monitoring and Alerting for People.
How It Works
The RavTrack GPS tracking system uses narrow-band VHF and UHF radio channels to transmit the encrypted location and status of the GPS transponders back to Operation Centers,
Remote Workstations, Mobile Base Station(s), to other transponders,
and to portable Tablet GPS Tracking workstations.
A repeater can be added in the system to extend the coverage to hundreds of square miles.
Easily Deployed
The system uses conventional VHF radio technology,
and is often set up in less than an hour. It is totally portable and may be totally mobile, with no fixed base station required.
Set up a base station (which can be done in less than an hour) and hand out the GPS transponders to people you need to monitor,
and you are ready to go. GPS tracking may be helpful to your daily operations.
But when someone is injured or lost, the Raveon GPS transponder is an incredible tool for the rescue team.
Mobile GPS Transponders
The M7-GX and RV-M21 GPS transponder is a rugged VHF data radio modem with a built-in 12-channel GPS receiver. They are designed to be vehicle mounted, or used as a base station. They are available in a number of different configurations: standard, commercial weatherproof and industrial weatherproof.
Long-Range Operation
Operating in the VHF 150-174 MHz frequency band, the M7 GX Transponder can communicate as far as 50 miles (depending upon terrain).
All M7 GX Transponders also can store-and-forward repeat for wide-area coverage.
Flexible Reporting
The M7 GX may be configured to transmit position and status reports at pre-set time intervals(programmable),
when it has moved a certain distance(programmable),
when an I/O changes, or a combination of these.
Simple to Interface
The Atlas PT and M21 Transponder is very simple to use and works with a multitude of other software, plotters,
and GPS displays including:
- Lowrance GPS displays and navigation
- Garmin hand-held GPSs
- Any GPS with an RS-232 NMEA interface
- The RV-M21 GPS has a Myriad of IO Options.
- RavTrack PC software by Raveon
- Marine Radar Displays
Many systems utilize the $PRAVE message format for outputting the GPS,
and status information that is received from an Atlas PT or GPS transponder.
Base Stations
Raveon’s RavTrack uses VHF and UHF radio channels.
A base station can be a one-way receive-only device to receive the GPS location and status messages from the GPS transponders.
Alternatively, it can be a two-way link to send back data or commands to the GPS transponders.
To expand coverage, a system may use as many base stations as needed to cover the area where the system must operate.
A single system may use any combination of the following base stations.
GPS Aircraft Tracking
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is today’s most precise navigation resource.
Raveon’s GPS aircraft tracking allows for determining accurate position anywhere on Earth, including near the surface.
The RV-M9 Mil Spec GPS transponder is design for use in aircraft.
Raveon helps to enable land, sea, and airborne users to immediately determine their three-dimensional position, speed

Case Study: Bus Tracking
Challenge: Jefferson County Public Schools Bluegrass School District needed a way to track their bus operations
to confirm that they were on schedule and making designated smiddles on time.
The District had received complaints that some buses had taken incorrect routes and/or were late for pick times, but without verification and tracking,
the Bluegrass School District had no way to verify
Case Study: FAA Airport Tracking
The Challenge: Antiquated wireless communication systems used in a vast number
of airport flight side operations nationwide had become difficult to support.
An upgrade was needed to the LLWAS (Low Wind Shear Alert System) system
used for take-offs and landings..
