We value the Telit module‘s small footprint. It allows
us to provide new features despite the limited space.

System
The mini Coyote V2 is a speed camera
alert system.
Which Telit module do you use
and why?
The Telit GE865-QUAD GSM/GPRS modem
was selected because of its small footprint
and low current requirement. The quadband
capability was also a plus.
Features
The mini Coyote V2 displays:
• current vehicle speed
• speed limit at vehicle‘s present
location
• speed limit exceeded alert
• fixed camera locations
• real-time mobile cameras reported
by the Coyote community
• mobile camera risk areas
>> Coyote Systems is a leading vendor of real-time speed camera
alert devices in Europe. Based in
France, Coyote’s mission is to provide road safety products and services to motorists worldwide. Unlike radar detectors, which are
illegal in most European countries,
Coyote devices are totally legal. They work
by constantly pinpointing the vehicle’s exact location on the road through GPS satellite technology and then looking up that location in a constantly updated database of
fixed and mobile speed camera locations
through GSM communication.

The Telit sales team recognized the market
opportunity represented by speed camera
alert devices and worked with Coyote Systems to win the design-in to the V2.

and Czech Republic, Coyote Systems now has
more than 400,000 users in Europe. Looking
ahead, the company plans to enter Spain,
Portugal and the United States in 2010. <<
