New GPS Tracker Runs 3 Years on a Single Charge, Requires No Activation or Service Fees

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 27, 2008 – Burlingame, CA— TrackingtheWorld, Inc. recently released the Global Asset Tracker (GAT), the world’s first GPS tracking device to last 3 years on a single charge and require no activation or monthly service fees until the device is remotely-activated for duty.

The GAT device is deployed with a prepaid SIM card which is only activated upon the user’s request.  “Our Global Asset Tracker gives business owners the best of both worlds.  It provides GPS tracking when you need it most without a monthly bill,” said Gilbert Walz, co-owner of TrackingtheWorld, Inc.  

With its extended charge capabilities, the Global Asset Tracker offers long-term GPS solutions for a variety of applications including farm equipment, construction and excavation machinery, compaction equipment, shipping, forestry equipment, air conditioning units, generators, and lifts.  Extraordinarily compact, the device measures only 1.54 inches wide and 3.56 inches long.  

Also available for use with the Global Asset Tracker is a specially-designed hibernating lithium battery pack which extends the GAT’s charge time to 5 years. The battery pack is housed in a magnetic, weather-resistant and crushproof Pelican® case, which measures a mere 5.43 inches long.   “The hibernating battery pack in its discreet magnetic case is ideal for both covert and traditional GPS tracking deployments,” said Walz.

Programmed for easy and automatic updates even when inactive, the Global Asset Tracker allows access for a limited time every day to receive needed information. “This is the most hassle-free and cost-effective GPS technology available today,” said Walz.  When a GAT customer requests activation of their unit(s), TrackingtheWorld offers a free, one-time location check of assets before any activation fees are incurred.

Quad-mode capabilities allow the Global Asset Tracker to be activated and operate from anywhere in the world, over land, sea or air.  In addition, the device is compatible with TrackingtheWorld’s cutting-edge GPS tracking software, which allows users to access readily-available satellite mapping technology or incorporate their own customized maps from anywhere on Earth.  

Originally developed for military use, GPS technology is now widely used by businesses of every size. GPS devices are often credited for the quick recovery of stolen or missing goods, because they allow business owners and law enforcement officials to track and pinpoint the exact location of stolen items.
