Spider-III CX-520/525




Overview

The Spider-III CX-520/525 models are equipped with an integrated, state-of-the-art quadband GSM/GPRS modem. Furthermore, the units are available with an integrated GPS receiver, based on the SiRFstarIII chipset. Features like 20 simultaneous satellite channels and an extreme high signal sensitivity make a highly reliable positioning even under difficult circumstances possible. The digital inputs can be used to record a variety of status signals. Actuators like signallers, relais etc. are program-controlled switchable. Analogue inputs are available, if required, too.

Short summary
