1.1 General

MAMBO2-B6 is an advanced personal tracking system that uses a quad-band GSM/GPRS technology for 
two way communication and the latest GPS technology for positioning. It has a high sensitivity GPS Helix  

antenna that receives GPS signals from all direction and helps the GPS engine to get a fix more quickly. 
MAMBO2-B6 as an all-in-one handheld product and equipped with a sophisticated software allows 
system integrators and developers to develop their own cost efficient and flexible applications in both 

SMS and TCP communication modes. This gives MAMBO2-B6 the ability to transmit its position not only 
to your cell phone by SMS, but also to an internet server by GPRS using the inside TCP/IP stack.  

MAMBO2-B6 can be used as a cell phone with the standard features such as voice calls and SMS, all  
through a simple menu-guided operation. It can be carried along in a pocket, backpack or fixed in a 
vehicle. Emergency calls can be done either by dialling an emergency number or by pushing a specific  
button to report current location, date and time. Therefore, you can quickly and easily track the position 
of the MAMBO2-B6 device. This product has a unique geo-fence feature used to report if the device 
(e.g. the person who is carrying it) moves from a particular location or deviates from a pre-defined 
route. Additional applications include fleet management tracking, personal security for independent 

workers, safety locator devices for police officers and fire/rescue personnel, and so much more.
MAMBO2-B6 offers an OLED display, two-soft keys (buttons) and a navigation key that allow users to 
easily navigate menus, make a voice call, generate events or graphically view all GPS information with  
detailed statistics on a large screen. The MAMBO2-B6's firmware can be upgraded remotely (over-the-

air over Internet). No action from the end-user is required.
The new MAMBO2-B6 is a hands-free phone system. During a phone call, you can turn on the speaker 
by selecting "Speaker on" on the MAMBO2-B6 screen. The speaker is automatically turned off when the 
call party hangs up, or when you select "Speaker off" on the MAMBO2-B6 screen. 
The  MAMBO2-B6  connects   the   PC   USB   port  and   allows   device   programming,   debugging   and 

charging  of the battery from the same port. 
The device functions are software configuration dependant. In order to insert your device in your 

application you need to configure it. For more details, have a look in the software documentation 

named “
