  1. Our New Asset Intelligence Business Unit GE - Trailer Fleet Services Monitors trailers135,000+ Assets100 Branches GE Energy Monitors Portable Generators GE Water Monitors Mobile Water Treatment Systems GE Healthcare Monitors Mobile MRI trailers Liquid Helium Creating a Telematics Center of Excellence… Aggressively Targeting Additional Industry Segments

  2. How it works GPS Satellites Two-way Satellite Customer System End User XML Data Feed GE Server Gateway Earth Station Tracking Device Network Control Center Location & Event Monitoring via Satellite Technology

  3. Telematics Components Cost Reduction

  4. History of Navigation • Basic Navigation: Celestial Navigation • 13th Century: Magnetic Compass • 1907: Gyrocompass • 1912: Radio Direction Finding • 1930’s: Radar and Inertial Nav • 1940’s: Loran-A • 1960’s: Omega and Navy Transit (SatNav) • 1970’s: Loran-C • 1980’s: GPS

  5. Web or XML • Geo fences • Alerts • Low battery messages • Reports • Sensor enable/disable • User rights control User-friendly web site THE PATH TO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT YOUR TRAILER FLEET

  6. Web-based reports THE PATH TO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT YOUR TRAILER FLEET Pre-defined reports or export data to Excel to create your own.

  7. GPS Specifications… • Time to First Fix (TTFF) in Seconds, 95% Probability • E.g. 50 seconds TRAP: 2D vs 3D Fix? • Cold Start First Position Fix Accuracy, 99% Probability • E.g. <100m TRAP: Not having Ephemeris, time to download • Static Position Accuracy, 99% Probability • E.g. 5m CEP TRAP: What happens the other 50% • Power Consumption • E.g. 180mw typical, 200mw TRAP: Must have deep sleep LP mode • Power-down (<10ua) as soon as 3D Fix obtained

  8. GPS Case Study: No GPS Location Fix on Lot 11 • Only Occurs at 7AM at this Specific Lot • GPS Fix occurs at 8AM, 9AM 11AM, etc • Sources of Interference • Coherent CW: • Specific Spectral Line Interference • Signal within 2 MHz Bandwidth • Pulsed Broadband: • Peak AWGN interference power, Varied Duty Cycle • Aluminum Processing Plant 1 Block Away!! • Pulsed CW • Peak CW Interference Power, Varied Duty Cycle • Signal Attenuation • Signal Attenuation from Multipath, Signal Blockage or Fading • Selected Satellite Signal is Attenuated

  9. GPS Case Study 2: Poor Position Accuracy • Greater than 50m Errors, Stationary Asset Will “move” 200 meters • 2D vs 3D Fix • 2D = 3 Satellites Received, 3D = 4 Satellites Received • Why 4 Satellites? • Accurate Positioning Requires Very Precise Timing Measurement • Takes .06 Seconds for Signal to Reach Ground • At 300,000 Km/s 1/1,000,000 sec error => 300m Position Errors • Satellites have atomic clocks, two rubidium and two cesium • Receivers have only quartz clocks • Problem identified with NMEA Diagnostics Tool => 2D Fix Received Only • Could wait 20 min for 3D but Solution was to Change GPS Chip Set

  10. GPS Case Study: Visual GPS Tools for Diagnostics

  11. TFS Mobile Solutions Center… The Vehicle… How it Will Be Used… • 53” Customized Tractor/Trailer • Satellite Connectivity • Complete Training Facility • Awning for Outdoor & Indoor Entertaining • 30 Customer Events Scheduled for ’05 • Nascar, Super Bowl, Monday Night Football • On-Site Customer Training • Nationwide City to City Tour • Showcase for New Technology • Test Bed for New Products & Services … Bringing The Latest Technology to Our Customers

  12. Customer reaction: VeriWise™ Gives us… “visibility for customer service, and the ability to update the positioning of equipment around the country. This helps our Operations group plan capacity as new orders come in.” - Bekins Van Lines “We’re looking to data we’ll be able to harvest from the new GE VeriWise™ features coming online, such as geo-fencing, to get us where we need to be from a reliability and security standpoint.” -G&P Trucking “Via our website, we currently offer our customers the best shipment-tracking system available…We’re in the process of integrating the GE VeriWise™ technology with this system; together they allow us to track more than the shipment; we can track down to the SKU. That will allow us to really bring this technology to bear on our entire operation.” -Caldwell Freight TRAILER FLEET SERVICES FROM GE

  13. GE: imagination at work…in Telematics • Motion Tracking Units Employing Motion Sensors for Reducing Power Consumption Therein • Method & Apparatus for Evaluating the State of Charge of Batteries • Method for Associating an Asset with a Monitoring Device • Selective Reporting of Events in Asset Tracking Systems • Progressive Idle Period Management in Acquiring GPS Signals • Cargo Sensing System Using Infrared and Pattern Matching Algorithms • Predictive Wirelessly-based Diagnostic & Metrics Utility for a GPS Transponder • Cargo Sensing using an Imaging Device • System & Method for Minimizing the Charging Time of a Battery • Covert Antenna Designs for Trailer Tracking
