TraceME is a GPS-based tracking module A GPRS/GSM modem handles communications that enables remote tracking. In areas with no GPRS/GSM coverage, position data and events are stored in memory for transmission when a network is available. A 640×480 resolution camera as well as a solar power supply can extend the module.

Relation to my thesis: Example of remote tracking module. I like that fact that the constraints have been taken into consideration. If there is not GPRS, then SMS is used as fail-over. In case of no GSM, data are stored and then probably sent later.
