Hello All -
We are a small startup company in San Francisco developing our own
vehicle location service. We need to buy or build a consumer device which can send specialized low-level GPS data to us via GPRS or some other US based cell protocol.
We're looking for any advice you may have about getting started with a
hardware project like this.
Are there GPRS / GPS / microcontroller combo boards that we could just reprogram?
Barring that, can anyone recommend a hardware contractor with experience designing devices to run on a carrier network?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you-
Matt
