The device incorporates GPS technology, supports options for various global cellular standards including LTE, GPRS, CDMA 1xRTT and HSPA, and is compatible with both 12- and 24-volt vehicle power systems. With superior patented internal antennas for both cellular and GPS, the TTU-2840XTreme is highly flexible and can be mounted virtually anywhere for simple, straightforward installations.
