AVL definition• A way to find the location of the object– GPS (outside coverage only for now), Cell coverage, RFID,
Dead reckoning, Access card readers• A method to transfer the location of the object– Telemetry, EVDO, GSM, Private Network, FRS, GMRS,
satellite • A method to display the object– Computer, Cell Phone & PDA’s, GPS
