What is a GPS jammer?
GPS devices are becoming more and more popular in recent years, and as a result of such, jammers were created to counteract their usage. A GPS jammer is basically a small transmitter that can produce a maximum interference signal of 1575.42 Mhz over a radius of five to ten meters. Jammers are usually more common in the United Kingdom.Can a GPS jammer interfere with a satellite signal?
In some cases, satellite malfunction or solar flares can temporarily disrupt the transmission of GPS signals. A GPS jammer is different though in that it sends out radio signals or signal noise with the same frequency as the GPS device, to override or distort the GPS satellite signals.How can we prevent GPS jammers?
Companies like Geotab are coming up with devices that combat GPS jammers or minimize their effects. For example, MyGeotab is designed to sense if there is a disruption with the GPS signal. When the GPS signal is not received, its Trip History map will detect if there is a missing location along the way.How does mygeotab detect GPS jamming?
Geotab users can automate detection by creating a Log Data & Collisions report in MyGeotab and setting it to be sent only when at least one event is detected. When GPS jamming occurs, the report will be sent via email as an alert, prompting further investigation.
