1.0 Overview
Since 2005, Infinity has been developing innovative solutions for Fire, EMS, First
Responders and SAR teams worldwide. The GPS-MIC-1 is the latest technical innovation.
This unit takes the features of a full function portable GPS unit and adds a speaker
microphone, allowing one to use the unit as a tradition stand-alone GPS unit with the added
benefit and feature of transmitting location, text messages, tracking information etc. over
any two way radio. Cables are available to interface with most 2-way radios. Custom cables
many be manufactured providing any 2 way transceiver with the features inherent to the
GPS-MIC-1.
Powered by a built-in Li Ion rechargeable battery, the GPS-MIC-1 meets the needs of
today’s Professional Rescuers, EMS, Fire and Response Teams as well as Climbing Teams,
Hunters, Fleet and Delivery Managers…anyone that has a need to know where staff or
responders are. One may also benefit from the features found in traditional GPS units;
compass, altitude, temperature, etc... THE HAND-HELD UNIT DOES NOT INCLUDE NOR
OFFER VIEWING OF LOCATION USING A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP.
Other remote radio transmission solutions with GPS location and date require expensive
head end equipment, expensive data transmission equipment and/or specially designed 2
way radios with GPS antenna or the installation of expensive digital radio networks,
interfaces and transceivers. The Infinity GPS-MIC-1 provides users with all the
accustomed features of a handheld GPS unit and adds remote connectivity over any
standard 2 way radio and adding the convenience of a speaker microphone.
With the appropriate adapter cable, one simply plugs the GPS-MIC-1 unit into any radio
and within minutes one may send your GPS location to others that also have a GPS MIC–1
connected to their radio thereby allowing all users equipped with the device to see and
locate members in one’s search team or group, sighting bearing, distance and estimated
time of arrival. Users may also send text messages, all without the need of expensive or
additional equipment…..this, OVER ANY ANALOG RADIO NETWORK. Consult the
Factory for details regarding APCO P25 digital radio operation. The unit also operates as a
traditional combination speaker microphone.
At the head end, if the User is interested in having a PC based system, all that is needed is
a two way radio transceiver and GPS-MIC-1 unit connected to the two way radio and then
in turn via USB cable to a PC or laptop with a network connection. In this configuration,
this allows incident command or this receiving station to view individual member locations,
areas covered, text messaging etc... using Google Earth ™ and Google MAP ™ with the
basic software package. Consult the factory for other available software for use in areas
where a live LAN based or cellular modem internet connection is not available.
