GPS repeater systems are first taken into use in Finland andSweden by the 
local rescue and emergency institutions. Products havealso been installed to 
indoor premises that are in the use of police,airline companies and companies 
that are involved in GPS productservice and research. Also the suitability for 
the product in the useof the military forces will be investigated in the future.

How does a GPS repeater work?

GPS repeater is a device that is used to transmit GPS signals to
places where they normally can not reach. The GPS repeater operates by
receiving GPS satellite signals with an antenna located outside the
building and re-transmits them indoors or covered spaces. The use of
re-transmitted signals mean that the GPS receiver is tracking the
current GPS status. This means that when the receiver (navigator etc.)
is moved from indoors to outside, the GPS receiver is instantly
tracking the location, instead of several minutes consuming
acquisition of current GPS state.

The limited using readiness for GPS devices indoors is history

The biggest advantage for the GPS signal transmitted indoors are
most definitely in rescue and emergency situations where the rescue
vehicles have their terminals in state of readiness already before the
alert. Therefore it will not take several minutes from the navigators
in the vehicles to locate the moving car and the receive right route
to the destination. This reduction of the reaction time can save human
lives. Also the automatic/instant location for other vehicles or
security transportations in the beginning or destination depots is
important in most cases for the security and tracking ability of the
transportation.
