New AnyTrack GPS-120 Helps Equipment Rental and Construction Companies Lower Fuel Costs and Fight Theft
Cellular-enhanced GPS tracking device from AnyDATA Corporation adds layer of security for high-value, wheeled or easily transportable equipment
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 12, 2008 - AnyDATA Corporation, a global leader in the design and manufacture of wireless communications devices, has introduced the AnyTrack GPS-120, a real-time theft prevention and inventory management tracking solution that minimizes the fuel costs, operating expenses and downtime caused by unauthorized use and theft of heavy equipment.
The AnyTrack GPS-120, which retails for $229, and service, are sold direct to customers at http://www.anytrack.com. The company also plans to distribute AnyTrack devices and service through authorized AnyTrack dealers.
"Today, more than ever, companies are focused on minimizing theft and unauthorized use to protect their bottom lines," said Charles Napier, GM, North America, AnyDATA Corporation. "The question they want answered is 'Where is my equipment right now?' The AnyTrack GPS-120 gives them an effective, simple, cost efficient solution that answers their question in real-time 24 hours a day."
The cost of heavy equipment theft, according to the National Equipment Register 2007 Equipment Theft Report, ranges between $300 million and $1 billion per year according to the "The AnyTrack GPS-120, paired with the AnyTrack Real-Time Tracking System, silently monitors and reports the location of high-value, mobile equipment, such as skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders and tractors, anywhere in the U.S., to help reduce theft and unauthorized use," said Napier. "Business owners can monitor equipment locations through secure access to the AnyTrack system via any PC connected to the Internet." No software is needed.
The AnyTrack GPS-120 also enables business owners to place a Geofence - a virtual, GPS-enabled perimeter - around the tracked equipment. If the equipment is moved outside the Geofence, indicating possible unauthorized use or theft, the AnyTrack Real-Time Tracking System issues an alert via mobile text message or email. Automatic tracking provides real-time location data to aid in recovery.
In addition to configurable Geofencing and Automatic Tracking, the GPS-120 also offers Locate on Demand, and Location History. The device is connected to the equipment's 12V power and includes an internal battery to power the device when the ignition is turned off.
The AnyTrack family of devices, including the new GPS-120, is enhanced with A-GPS cellular technology that enables them to be located across the U.S. - even if the equipment is indoors and the device cannot see the GPS satellites. This advanced GPS capability means that AnyTrack devices can be placed covertly anywhere in or on the equipment.
Conventional GPS devices must be placed in the open where they can receive a direct line of sight to the satellite for signal transmission. This prevents them from working in indoor locations such as garages, warehouses, underground, under overpasses, or other secluded locations.
The AnyTrack GPS-120 is priced at $229. Tracking service ranges from $11/month to $19.95/month. AnyDATA offers a 15-day trial program.
