FM3612 is a terminal with GPS/GLONASS and GSM/3G connectivity with backup battery, which is able to collect device coordinates and other useful data and transfer them via the GSM/3G network. This device is perfectly suitable for applications where location acquirement of remote objects is needed. It is important to mention that FM3612 has additional inputs and outputs, which let you control and monitor other devices on remote objects. FM3612 also has a USB port for device status log output and configuration.
