The GeoChaser Control is a powerful GPS tracking system designed for tracking of vehicles
and reading out driver identification. The device has superior reception sensitivity, fast
positioning and supports four-band GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, the location can
be viewed real-time on your personal 12Trace page or in the mobile App. The GeoChaser
has multiple in/outputs that can be used for monitoring or control of external devices. The
GeoChasers communicate with the GPRS/GSM network and can alert you when crossing a
