Ayantra has created a solution to enable automobile owners to remotely track and control their vehicles.
The Challenge:
Second only to their home, a person’s automobile is usually their most valuable possession. But ownership carries responsibilities. For years, vehicle owners have struggled to:
- Protect their vehicles against theft
- Ensure that other drivers - notably teens - drive responsibly
- Safeguard their vehicles against abuse from other drivers (including parking attendants)
Managing a vehicle - any type of vehicle, no matter where it may be located - is now a simple proposition, thanks to Ayantra.
The Solution:
AutoVantage GPS is a wireless solution that enables people to easily manage their vehicles. The complete solution consists of:
- An Ayantra monitoring unit - called the MAT 522PA - installed in the vehicle.
- An Ayantra-provided website to enable authorized users to
- Collect vehicle info: Location Reports, Tracking Reports, Mileage Reports, and more
- Send commands to the Ayantra monitoring unit: “Report Location,” “Unlock Door,” “Honk Horn/Flash Lights”, etc
Web-Based Services and Alert Notifications:
- All reports and alerts are accessible through an easy-to-use web interface.
- Alert Notifications can be triggered if anything goes wrong, such as a “Speed Violation,” “Curfew Violation,” “Suspected Theft,” and more. Alert Notifications are targeted to specific recipients according to the type of violation. Alert can be sent in the form text messages to cell phones, and/or as e-mail messages.
- Authorized users can use a cell phone to send commands to the remote monitoring unit at any time, and receive responses from it.
