NEW MODEL MARCH 2009!!!
FIKO Group of Companies has developed it's original branded "WAY" - "Where Are You?" GPS/GNSS Tracking and AVL ("Automatic Vehicle Location") System where we also offering our AVL/SMS/GPRS-EDGE DLL functions libraries for the"WAY" GPS/GNSS Tracking and in-car navigation system. FIKO are now able to control all mobile phone functions such as GPRS-EDGE and SMS as well as other standard phone functions trough our software libraries.

Our GPS tracking and AVL developments started September 2004. Till now, we have developed our fully integrated Windows-based tracking/server station named makeAVL Station. Our software libraries together with our embedded microcontrollers and electronics are indeed a fairly viable system that can be developed into endles combination through our uFDEX network and protocol system for data exchange between the WAY system and sensors.. For the final developments, we post you here with our past progresses and you may also view our video online.

• Project start September 2004
• On 13th of September 2005, we archived to make our first recording of more than 100,000 GPS points stored in the first WAY prototype unit, covering just above 28 hours of GPS tracking. This stored GPS NMEA data was downloaded direct to PC and via GPRS.
  
• On 15th of September, we completed our modified electronics for our embedded mobile phone AVL system by calling the unit with just one ring and then hang on, the unit will reply by sending last know Longitude/Latitude GPS position to a preset mobile phone number(s) based on NMEA protocols.
• On 20th of September 2005 we reached another milestone by receiving our first samples of our aluminium extrusion case "aluTECH" shown on the image on this page.
• On 23rd of September 2005, the alarm and panic function was fully developed and the system is now able to send two alarm sets based on SIM card ID as well as alarm type together with last known GPS NMEA Longitude and Latitude information etc.
• On 3rd of October 2005, the aluminium cases were anodised and are now produced in red colour (in Holland).
  
• By 10th of October 2005, we have completed all replay of stored GPS positions shown on maps. We also implemented our version of the Karlman Filter for more precision depicting of the GPS tracks.
• On 18th of October, we completed all AT commands test programming and we got now "full controll" over the mobile phone and AVL technologies.
• Till 21st of November 2005, we completed all hardware planning's, software component and functions for our iTX1200 AVL technologies.
• On 22nd November 2005, we started to build OCX components based upon our already developed DLL structure and function for AVL. The OCX-es are now a part of our makeAVL and makeAVL Station software package. By this we consider our iTX1200 AVL electronics project as complete.
• On 22nd September 2006, the iTX 1200 had it's first embedded firmware software modifications which also included upgrade to the new uFDEX 2.0 network protocol.
• On 25th October 2006, the aluTECH case got it's new locking device modified and completed. The bottom fastening bracket is now holding the top case via a special spring system for easy removal without using any tools.
• During Januar 2009, our second generation iTX1200 was ready with added features and better integration to external interfaces, sensors and switches. In many ways, the new iTX1200 i better than the older version and also the embedded software is now brand new.

This is the old version	Measuring only 37mmx52mmx21mm, it's a really small integrated unit that covers power supply, GPS, GSM, embedded AVL and uFDEX system software and the battery.
The iTX1200 board with GSM modem attached. The black part is the SIM-card holder.	The sample casing of the AVL system shown is in pure aluminium but the final product are made in red anodised aluminium.
