With RavTrack, you own the radio channel, and your system will work wherever you are within radio range. It does not rely upon cellular infrastructure, so it will work in remote areas that have no coverage or in rugged terrain where coverage is unreliable.

UHF radio coverage varies by terrain, but users will have typically 2-10 miles of radio coverage vehicle-to-vehicle. If a repeater or base is located on a locally high hill or tower, coverage will typically be 5-25 miles, and 40-50 miles is not unusual when vehicles are cresting hills.
UHF radio coverage is usually beyond line-of site. You will be surprised on how well I gets through in rugged terrain, forests, and cities. Repeaters can always help extend the coverage, and with RavTrack, setting up a repeater is very easy. Any RavTrack Transponder can also be a store-and-forward repeater.
That is the RavTrack Real-Time Advangage. With fast update rates, the location and status transmissions will periodically get through as the vehicles pass by areas with good coverage, even in the far-reaching fringe areas.
Like all radio technologies, UHF radio does have its limitations. But it has been and still is used for reliable radio communications by maintenance crews, law-enforcement, and mobile workers for over 50 years. It is a well-proven and well-understood technology, and Raveon will be glad to assist you in planning your system so that it meets your needs.
