WFTAK is also able to ingest Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) positions. The USFS has equipped their vehicles with AVLs that operate on GeoTab hardware, via the AT&T network. While in coverage, a location will be sent by GeoTab and ingested by WFTAK. These locations can be found in the WFTAK – All Users channel. WFTAK is also ingesting BLM AVLs via Skymira hardware that operates on the Iridium Satellite network. While the locations are not as frequent, they do provide coverage in all areas regardless of cellular service.
