Ramakrishna Electro Component Pvt Ltd Group (REC) on Friday launched VTS (Vehicle Tracking System), under UTRAQ brand, which is one of kind Module that will run on Indian Satellite. UTRAQ is an endeavor to replace the currently in use GPS application that is working on US Satellites. UTRAQ is owned by Ramakrishna Electro Component & manufactured by Shanghai Mobiletek.

The launch event was attended by Antrix (a commercial arm of ISRO) Executive Director (operations) Suma DR, Shanghai Mobiletek Managing Director Ms Sherry Xu, along with Ramakrishna Group Chairman Satish Luthra.

This module is IRNSS compliant for VTS application. IRNSS is Govt of India initiative under ISRO. IRNSS User Receiver module is integrated with front-end chipset and embedded high performance ARM9processor from leading chipset manufacturer. It has internal S RAM, UART, USB, CAN and 10 Bit ADCs.

U-TRAQ launched two models L100 & L110. These are GPS receivers Modules based on IRNSS supported by GAGAN/NaviC signals, designed using L5 and S bands. But in our U-TRAQ GPS receiver Modules are designed for two RF bands:L5 frequency and L1 frequency, L5 frequency which is NaviC Frequency and L1 frequency which is GPS/GLONAS frequency. Where L100 has dual band patch antennas connected to two RF inputs of the board which receives the signals from the satellite. And L110 designed for use with external Antenna.

Commenting on the launch of UTRAQ, Managing Director, Rama Krishna Electro Pvt. Ltd. (REC), Shivang Luthra pointed out that it will be changing the way of conventional tracking that is done in the past. We are providing customers with various features of working with L5(IRNSS) band and L1 (GPS and GNSS) band. Major change we are anticipating is that the VTS industry will be changing their designs as in the coming year it will be mandatory from GOI to use IRNSS device.
