Our System

Mobile monitoring begins with a wireless locatable device called a beacon.

At Guardian, we work with manufacturers from around the globe to source, test and integrate the best beacon for each specific market application.

You benefit from knowing that Contigo™ is flexible enough to keep pace with beacon technology advancements to meet both current and future market opportunities.

Beacon Basics

Every beacon includes a GPS receiver, a cellular modem and a processor that controls the beacon's features. Over the last few years, technological advancements have improved all aspects of GPS beacons. 

Today's beacons benefit from such key features as:

• Smaller size
• Reduced cost
• Longer battery life
• Improved location accuracy
• Faster Time To First Fix (TTFF)
• Higher signal yield (translation: better able to calculate a position when in a challenging signal environment)

Future beacon models will have similar dramatic performance improvements, while continuing to see declines in cost and size.

Beacon Manufacturer Partners

Guardian works closely with some of the leading GPS beacon manufacturers from around the world. After rigorous testing in Guardian's labs, a select number of beacon models become integrated into Contigo. Below is a list of some of the leading manufacturers Guardian is pleased to work with:
