1. A vehicle configured to transmit and receive voice or data communications having a plurality of data packets, the vehicle comprising:
- a GPS receiver;
a remote unit, including;
a memory for storing a unique identifier of the vehicle;
an input for receiving a position signal from the GPS receiver, the position signal indicating the position of the vehicle;
a transceiver for receiving a wireless communication from a sending remote unit, the received wireless communication including the unique identifier, said transceiver downconverting the received wireless communication from RF to a received baseband communication;
a microprocessor for receiving the position signal and the received baseband communication;
said microprocessor for generating a transmit baseband communication including data packets with data fields, the data fields including the unique identifier of the sending remote unit, information derived from the position signal, and an address of a desired remote unit; and
said transceiver for upconverting the transmit baseband communication to RF for transmission as a transmit wireless communication to the desired remote unit.

19. A system for transmitting voice or data communications between a plurality of remote units, the system having an input including the voice or data communications and user input, each remote unit comprising:
-
a unique identifier; a transceiver configured to receive data by a wireless communication and to down-convert the received data from radio frequency (RF) to baseband, and to up-convert baseband data to RF for transmission as a wireless communication; a global positioning system receiver configured to receive a position signal; a microprocessor configured to receive the position signal and the received communication, and to generate the baseband communication by constructing at least one data packet from a plurality of data fields, at least one of the data fields including information derived from the position signal, the unique identifier of a sending remote unit, and the unique identifier of a receiving remote unit; and a memory configured to store the received data, the user input including information unique to the user, and said unique identifier. - View Dependent Claims (20)
