How does the Chameleon Modem work?

A Chameleon CTM-15X Modem is installed on a mobile asset or at a fixed site. In mobile applications, the modem calculates its position based on GPS signals from a GPS satellite. The modem communicates information wirelessly through cellular technology or it can act as an ethernet router. Data is received and monitored on your computer.
