Combining GPS and Communications Capabilities to Provide a Mobile "I See You, You See Me" Tracking Solution
TeleType today announced the PocketTracker, a unique mobile fleet and field tracking solution combining Global Positioning System and Communications capabilities to provide a mobile "I see you, you see me" tracking solution for the Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC software platform. The system is based on the TeleType GPS Wireless WorldNavigator with a special plug-in software module and wireless communications card, allowing the handheld device to act as both a tracker and navigator at the same time.
With PocketTracker the user has the ability to track the real time location of anyone else that has a TeleType GPS PocketTracker or TeleType GPS CDPD Tracker. Likewise, the other person can see where you are located if desired. "We are thrilled to introduce our PocketTracker solution," said Ed Friedman, President of TeleType. "This is a true `I see you, you see me' solution, one that provides companies that utilize a Pocket PC to dual purpose navigate in unknown areas as well as tracking of vehicles or personnel."
"The Pocket PC platform was designed to provide users with devices that offer the most for work and play," said Mary Starman, Lead Product Manager for the Mobility Division at Microsoft Corporation. "We're pleased with TeleType's PocketTracker solution, which will benefit users by helping them with tasks such as tracking the location of delivery vehicles, emergency service personnel, family members, or high profile executives, from the convenience of their mobile device, desktop or laptop computer."
