Overview The LCU500 integrates a GPS receiver, a cellular network modem (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA/1X). The system monitors various vehicle sensors, and provides the customer with a vast variety of real-time activities and information about the vehicle.

The LCU500 is a complete vehicle security and fleet management solution in one unit. It is the most feature-rich unit in the market today, with over 80 features. The unit and its components when installed, are hidden and undetectable. A two way communication modem, based on existing wireless infrastructure, makes it possible to deploy the system with immediate functionality all around the world. The unit has a built-in alarm system, that monitors the vehicle at all times, and alerts the Control Center in case of theft or distress.

The LCU500 was tested and received approvals from the leading labs around the world, including: eMark (E24 10R-020086), TUV-GS, FCC Part 15, UL 60950, CB Certification, CE certification and Vibration and Shock Tests (done in a military lab).
