The WinFrog Multiple Vehicle Positioning & Telemetry (MVP&T) Module supports communication between multiple WinFrog systems using wireless network technology. Available as an extension to the core WinFrog program, this module passes positional data between multiple WinFrog systems so that each WinFrog system on the network can track and display all vehicles positioned by other networked WinFrog systems.
This communication can be set up via three different methods: active token ring, static token ring and point-to-multipoint. The active token ring method works on a "token ring" principle whereby no single vehicle acts as the master of the network; instead, one vehicle initiates the passing of a token and all vehicles in range are automatically added to the network. The static token ring uses an operator-specified network membership, as does the point-to-multipoint. In addition to the transfer of positional data over the network, the MVP&T Module allows inter-vehicle file transfers and RTCM-104 messages to be rebroadcast over the network.
