Poynting Antennas has developed an antenna for a unit used in the tracking of offenders. The unit is strapped, to a person’s leg and is used to monitor an offender's compliance with area confinement. A GPS unit is used to obtain the location of the offender. A GSM transmitter then relays the data to a central office. The unit uses an integrated tri-band antenna that has been designed for optimal performance within the unit. The whole unit had to be compact enough to strap onto the offender's leg. A variety of applications depend on the reliable communication that is supplied by an integrated antenna. Applications of these antennas include vehicle tracking, fleet management, people tracking, security, 3G datacards, least cost routers (LCR), phone shops and pay phones.
