The following figure describes the components of the Starcom System.
This manual describes how to install the Helios and touches on other system
components only as required by the Helios.
The Hardware Module – Helios
The Helios integrates a GPS receiver and a GSM or CDMA cellular network modem. It
provides a complete vehicle security alarm and fleet management solution. The two-
way communication modem, based on existing wireless infrastructure, makes it
possible to deploy the system with immediate and full functionality around the world.
The modem enables the Helios to communicate via the GPRS/1x or the SMS channel
and to receive and send status and location data.
The built-in alarm system monitors the vehicle at all times and alerts the Starcom
Control Center software in the case of theft or distress.
After installing the Helios, you can reprogram its parameters remotely and send
commands to perform multiple functions.
You can integrate various accessories into the Starcom system, for example, text
terminals, temperature sensors, accident/shock detectors, Bluetooth devices, and
transponders. For detailed information on the available accessories, refer to Chapter 5
Helios Accessories on page 21.
