Fire stations are indispensable facilities with intensive working process and time is a very important
factor there. Nevertheless, when fire trucks and other vehicles are parked in the station, they tend to
lose their GPS signal especially due to construction of the building. This loss of signal can cause
significant delay on important GPS re-acquisition especially when vehicles are deployed, hence
information with wrong position information is sent back to the command and control center. This could
pose adverse effects to responding time and also the flow of operation in emergencies.
Why GPS Repeaters Are Essential:
Continuous GPS Signal Indoors: This means that a GPS repeater has to be installed so that all
the vehicles within this facility will be receiving a live signal at all times. This makes it
possible for all satellite navigation systems on board to stay with the GPS satellites.
Instant GPS Lock on Deployment: Suppose that vehicles move away from the fire station; then,
the fire vehicles provide the accurate location information to the command and control center
and do not take much time to acquire the satellite signal.
Enhanced Response Times: Manufacturers such as TomTom and Garmin still effectively working their
satellite navigation system unless rebooting, they also provide faster and more responsive
service.
Optimized Installation: Thus a GPS repeater stationed with a height of 10 meters on the roof
beam can cover an area of about a circle with a diameter of 35 meters. The repeater should be
installed in such a manner that will ensure that it can always ‘see’ the GPS receiving
antennas on the automobiles.
Customized Solutions: In cases where fire stations are a little bigger or have a confusing
layout a single repeater may not be enough and we design individual systems to your exact
needs. They provide overall coverage, as well as the best position of GPS signal that could be
received in the station.
Conclusion:
A GPS repeater is one very important item that needs to be put in a fire station so that the vehicle is well
tracked in real time. They do away with barriers to effectively responding to an incident, increase the
agility of the responses to the event, and also render correspondingly efficient and competent handling of
emergencies.
