Other applications of BGPS tracking, and fleet monitoring.

Such a fleet monitoring system can calculate information of a rover's instant position after receiving just a few milliseconds of digitized IF data from it.

Such a system can benefit from using rover-side sensors of ultra small size and low power consumption. The data can be sent upon request. The data size can be as small as one Kb.

Advantages of tracking system based on BGPS™

* Cheap hardware

* Down to a few dollars for a tracking device

* Small and light tracking device

* Can be as light as a few grams
