Satellite vehicle tracking can go a long way in ensuring that you don’t becoming yet another statistic. When you fit a Skygistic satellite vehicle tracking unit to your vehicle you can be assured that your vehicle will be found.

How satellite tracking works

This innovation was developed by the American military. They used the Global Positioning System (GPS) as a navigation system but soon opened it up for general use throughout the world.

GPS is a constellation of 27 satellites that orbits the Earth. Of these 27 only 24 is in operation – the others are there for backup purposes.

These satellites, weighing between 1 300kg and 1 800 kg are solar powered and circle the globe at 19 300 km, making two complete rotations every day. The orbits are arranged so that at any time, anywhere on Earth, there are at least four satellites "visible" in the sky. A GPS receiver's job is to locate four or more of these satellites, figure out the distance to each, and use this information to deduce its own location. This operation is based on a simple mathematical principle called trilateration.

When activated, the GPS continuously checks distances to the satellites and can tell you your vehicle is.
