DataLogic International's Panther Trak GPS Device
Wins AeA High-Tech Award
IRVINE, CA, May 12, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - DataLogic International,
Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: DLGI;
Berlin, Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 779612)
a provider of consulting services and communication solutions
including VoIP, GPS based mobile asset tracking, and secured mobile
communications, today announced that its GPS product Panther Trak
was named the winner in the Device category at the Twelfth Annual
High-Tech awards, hosted by the AeA Orange County Council.
"We
thank the AeA Orange County Council for this honor," commented
Keith Moore, Chairman and CEO of DataLogic International, Inc.
"It is gratifying to develop an innovative product like
this one when you have a great team to work with, and even better
when customers tell you it is the first they've seen that really
performs the way they need it to perform. To also get recognition
from a prestigious organization such as the AeA is very rewarding."
Taking
Global Positioning System technology a step further than the
commonly understood GPS product, Panther Trak becomes part of
a system offering the user a number of flexible options for
real-time vehicle management services, including theft detection,
recovery, and tracking.
The
Panther Trak device consists of a Global Positioning System
(GPS) receiver and a wireless modem that communicates with Personal
Communication System (PCS) networks including AT&T, T-Mobile,
Cingular and more. It can be programmed to allow complete control
from a user's cell phone, PC, or landline. It is capable of
customized functions, such as disabling the vehicle or locking
its doors using a cell phone from anywhere in the world.
The
wireless device, installed in a hidden location in the vehicle,
can be programmed to issue an alert in the event of a vehicle
theft. Using a stand-alone or web-based interface, users can
query a vehicle for its location along with information such
as airbag deployment, theft alarm status, speed, direction,
and time idle.
The
Panther Trak base station's Web-based interface relays data
received from a vehicle-mounted GSM/GPRS or CDMA 1xrtt mobile
device, using information obtained from the GPS. All messages
originating from Panther Trak are UTC time-stamped and a mathematical
algorithm is used to ensure successful delivery of critical
messages. Customers can access their fleet information from
anywhere in the world via the Internet or VPN.
Panther
Trak has been successfully tested in the U.S., Canada, Europe,
China, Mexico, and Latin America. DataLogic provides Panther
Trak with multiple language support. DataLogic is forming strategic
alliances with Application Service Providers to provide base
stations to serve local markets worldwide, and can also customize
an application specific base station to meet a customer's unique
needs.
