I'm working on a project at the University of Portsmouth and need some help with the electronics side of things.
The attached photo shows how (I want) this project to work but I need to know details on what components are needed for the circuit board to allow this to happen.
Looking at bullet point 9 and below in the attached image how will the device be able to transmit location data as well as receive signals which are sent out?
I have done research on GPS and aGPS (Assisted-GPS) signals and have found a HSGPS receiver chip which I assume receives signals which are sent out? (HSGPS chip: http://www.furuno.com/en/products/gnss-chip/ePV5800B[MS1])
Would this chip be connected to the circuit board? What else is needed for this to be feasible?
It also needs to fit within the size of a Ski Pole handle grip, so the components needs to be reduced into a compact circuit board.
What I have concluded from a small section of research is:
Having looked into how GPS and Assisted GPS work it looks like using assisted GPS in the device would be more accurate as it uses mobile phone towers as well as ‘Trilateration’ to determine users location. If this is the case, I believe this means the device will need a SIM CARD card which connects to mobile networks in the users location as well as a GPS chip connected to the internal circuit board.
Is this correct? If so how would all of these components fit together?
Thanks.
