There is a history behind every discovery. The advancement of technology at the present time is basically the collective form of the discovery of different technologies. One such technology is a vehicle tracking service. GPS technology has also contributed to this huge expansion of vehicle traffic services. One of the most necessary and well-known means for tracking a personal or commercial vehicle is the Prohori Vehicle Tracking Service. Vehicle tracking services play a very important role in the vehicle in finding the stolen company or private vehicle, product delivery, round-the-clock monitoring of the vehicle, increasing the efficiency of the vehicle, and reducing the maintenance cost of the vehicle. But few know the history of how the vehicle tracking service was started. Let’s find out how the Vehicle Tracking Service started.
Introduction to GPS technology
The most useful technology for vehicle tracking service is GPS technology. Basically the backbone of GPSE vehicle tracking service. The story of the discovery of this GPS system is not very new. The invention of GPS technology was first conceived sixty-seventy years ago. And the first GPS satellite was launched into space in the 1970s. However, the idea of using GPS for vehicle tracking was conceived in 1976.
The first test GPS satellite Block-1 was sent into space that year. By 1985, 10 more Block-1 GPS satellites had been successfully launched into space. The main purpose of sending these GPS satellites into space was to track vehicles in the military field. But they could not be used on such a large scale as to track many cars. Because there were not enough GPS satellites for large-scale use. Next, it took nine more years to get fully enriched GPS technology. The Block-2 GPS satellite, launched by the United States Air Force in January 1994, completes GPS technology.
Bill Clinton on the proliferation of GPS
As mentioned earlier, GPS was initially used by the military to track the vehicles they needed. The general public was aware of GPS then but could not use it. As a result of being under the military, people were not very interested in it. But in 1996, then-US President Bill Clinton was the first to introduce the benefits of GPS to the public. As well as adopted a policy of installing a dual-use GPS. This created the possibility of using GPS in both military and civilian ways. This has since given access to GPS technology to the military as well as the general public, and transport managers have become interested in tracking vehicles under them.
The proliferation of GPS in-vehicle tracking
After the policy was issued by Bill Clinton, everyone had the opportunity to use GPS but at that time the cost of using GPS was much higher. In addition to this, to use GPS tracking for car maintenance, one had to use giant, heavy, and non-signature devices in the car and pay a very high price for the device. Due to the slow internet and the slow nature of computer technology at that time, not everyone could use GPS. Only wealthy companies used GPS systems to track cars. And small and medium-sized companies have been waiting for this technology to become more readily available.
Eventually, almost two decades have passed and vehicle tracking service has become a way of reaching everyone through GPS. Its price has come down due to the improvement and advancement of the GPS system. With the advent of computer technology and internet accessibility, the use of vehicle trackers in cars has become much more accessible. Thousands of companies, large and small, are using this GPS vehicle tracking service to track their cars. Its availability has become so widespread that company GPS vehicle tracking devices and services are now being used in Bangladesh for the maintenance and safety and security of company vehicles as well as private vehicles.
