ASTRO 25 Outdoor Location Solution

The ASTRO® 25 Outdoor Location Solution provides location monitoring over a wide area.

• ASTRO 25 Motorola Universal Processing Server (MUPS) – The MUPS application receives the location information from the devices that have traveled over the network. The purpose of the MUPS is to act as a gateway and translate mobile device messages and transfer data to back office applications.
• ASTRO 25 Presence Notifier Application – The ASTRO Presence Notifier Application provides the presence and absence information of subscriber radios to any compatible data applications located in the Customer Enterprise Network (CEN). This allows the dispatcher to know whether or not a subscriber unit is powered on/off or somewhere within the radio network.
• Portable and Mobile Radios with GPS Receivers – Portable radios that are supported are the XTS 2500 and the XTS 5000 (models I, II, or III) connected to the integrated GPS-enabled Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM). Supported mobile radios are as follows: the XTL 5000, the XTL 2500, the XTL 1500, and the ASTRO Spectra Plus.
• ASTRO Location Application Programming Interface (API) – The Application Programming Interface allows a third party to integrate the Motorola solution with a mapping application.

The ASTRO 25 Outdoor Location Solution provides location monitoring over a wide area. The location of the asset being tracked is determined from the GPS satellite constellation and the data are sent over the ASTRO 25 network according to user-defined, configurable parameters, such as distance-based reporting, periodic-reporting, and some emergency-based reporting. For vehicular Location Solutions, Motorola provides a GPS device that mounts easily within the vehicle. This device receives GPS satellite data and relays the coordinates through an XTL 5000 Mobile Radio to the MUPS. Motorola also provides the option to track personnel using the GPS Remote Speaker Microphone (RSM) connected to the XTS 5000 Portable Radio. The GPS RSM is convenient to wear, yet still able to receive GPS satellite data.

• Offers customers the flexibility to choose the mapping application required to suit their needs
• Customers may use their existing CAD or AVL mapping applications or can choose their own new mapping application
• Enables operators to determine presence and position of resources, thus reducing voice communications
• Allows dispatchers to readily locate radio users in an emergency situation and provide the appropriate backup, as needed
• Operators can request a radio user's location
