GeoTraq is the only company in the world that specializes exclusively in Cell-ID technology.
Introduction
What is Cell-ID?
Cell-ID is short for Cellular Identification.
Cellular companies constantly monitor the location of all cellular devices using Cellular Triangulation.
The longitude and latitude or location coordinates of all cellular devices are stored and continuously updated.
Any device that is registered with a cellular carrier can be located simply by requesting the location.
Location information can be displayed on a smart phone or computer.
Transceiver
We invented the world's first and only transceiver designed specifically for Cell-ID.
The G-100 GSM Quad-Band Tranceiver is designed to power the smallest tracking and theft recovery devices ever created.
Manufactures can now incorporate theft recovery devices into a vast array of consumer and industrial products.
Cell-ID Module
A small module that is perfect for tracking, location and theft recovery of valuable assets.
The G-100 GSM Quad-Band Module is designed for a wide array of possible location and theft recovery applications.
The G-100 Module is small, lightweight and durable. The internal 230 MWh lithium-ion battery can last 3 years on a single charge if programmed for monthly location reporting or 12 months if set for weekly location reporting updates.
Cell-ID Bracelet
The smallest tracking bracelet ever invented with service coverage on all seven continents of the world.
The G-100 Bracelet is a breakthrough in cellular tracking & location technology.
It is designed primarly for personal security however there are many more applications such as student truancy, employee monitoring and the safety of persons with medical or special needs.
The bracelet has an LED status indicator and can be charged simply by plugging it into a standard USB port.
Cell-ID Smart Tag
An inexpensive tracking, location and theft recovery solution for all your valuable items.
The G-100 Smart Tag is designed for multiple applications such as locating your lost luggage, backpack or golf bag.
The G-100 Smart Tag contains a larger 480 MAh battery that allows for multiple daily location updates for up to one month on a single charge.
It also can be expanded to support external devices such as an altimeter, accelerometer or other component that can increase it's use and functionality.
Multiple Markets
The worldwide market for tracking, location and theft recovery devices is exploding.
There are hundreds of potential markets and thousands of possible applications for Cell-ID technology.
No other tracking technology can offer the small size and multi-year battery life required to locate assets indoors or that have no constant power supply.
Unique Features
Cell-ID offers unique features not available with any other location technology.
The benefits of Cell-ID over existing location technology are apparent when you require a very small location device to operate for years on a low capacity battery in an indoor environment.
Cell-ID offers the largest service area, longest battery life, smallest size and lowest cost of any available tracking, location or theft recovery technology.
Patent Portfolio
No other company in the world offers Cell-ID specific location, tracking or theft recovery devices.
GeoTraq has submitted a patent application for every conceivable product that would use cellular triangulation as a primary and only means of determining location.
In other words, any radio device or apparatus that uses Cell-ID exclusively would infringe upon our patents both domestically and internationally.
Custom Design
The G-100 Cell-ID Transceiver is designed for rapid development & plug-n-play functionality.
Cell-ID devices require a minimum amount of components to operate.
All that is required is a:
• Battery
• Antenna
• SIM Card Holder
• Cell-ID TransceiverA company simply needs to design an enclosure and install the transceiver and supporting components.
Building a custom tracking device has never been easier.
WebTraq Platform
Our software platform is designed specifically to support our line of Cell-ID products.
The WebTraq LBS (Location Based Services) platform is a Java based, scalable, multi-tenant software that allows for the management of an unlimited number of Cell-ID devices.
We also offer an iPhone and Android application that can be customized to meet specific customer requirements.
Service Coverage
Cell-ID service is available on all seven continents of the world.
GeoTraq is working directly with the world's largest cellular carriers to introduce Cell-ID hardware solutions.
Like SMS, Cell-ID does not use a voice or data channel so the load on the carrier's network is minimal.
Carriers are promoting Cell-ID by offering the service at a cost far less then conventional services required for other types of tracking devices.
Customers
Some of the largest companies in the world have inquired about our Cell-ID solutions.
By inserting Cell-ID devices into rental furniture and appliances, Rent-A-Center can stem the loss and increase the recovery of stolen merchandise.
G4S, the largest security firm in the world can track and locate employees. United Rental can curb equipment rental losses. Tumi can add tags to luggage and handbags. Amazon can attach tracking devices to shipping boxes.
In fact, almost every company and product throughout the world can benefit from Cell-ID technology.
Partners
We depend on the support of multiple vendors to help deliver cutting edge Cell-ID technology.
Navicron was hired to design the G-100 Quad-Band Transceiver which is based on the Infineon chipset made by Intel.
External components are supplied by TaoGlas, Solicore and Popular which are installed in cases produced by Prism.
The device is assembled and tested by Passage Maker while 7 Layers performs FCC and PTCRB certification.
Distributors
GeoTraq is actively recruiting companies from around the world to offer our Cell-ID product line.
Recently we have received hundreds of customer inquires into the availability of our Cell-ID products.
We are seeking electronic component distributors, OEM, ODM, RF design labs, system integrators and cellular carriers and resellers to offer our unique line of Cell-ID tracking, location and theft recovery devices.
Question 1
Isn't someone else already doing this?The answer is definitely NO!
We have searched the entire planet and have failed to find a single company that offers Cell-ID specific devices or has ever offered them in the past.
We tried hard to find any evidence of prior art and can confidently say that none exists.
GeoTraq is clearly the only company in the world that has designed a line of tracking, location and theft recovery devices specifically for Cell-ID service.
Question 2
Doesn't GPS do the same thing?Again, the answer is NO!
GPS devices only work outdoors with a clear view of the sky so that it can receive a signal from orbiting satellites. They do not work indoors which prevents them from being used for the majority of location and theft recovery applications.
GPS devices also require a lot of power to operate. Small, battery powered GPS devices require recharging every few days which prevent them from being located weeks, months or even years later on a single charge.
A GPS unit that uses a cellular network to report position requires a GPS antenna, a GSM or CDMA antenna, a GPS receiver and a cellular transceiver. These are far more components then required by a Cell-ID specific device.
Cell-ID devices have less components, cost less, require less power to operate and can work indoors.
Question 3
How accurate is Cell-ID?The accuracy of a Cell-ID device is determined by the position and density of cell phone towers. Location accuracy is better in urban areas as opposed to rural areas.
Over a decade ago the FCC began requiring all cellular carriers to operate a Cell-ID service to assist law enforcement and emergency personnel with the location of cellular devices. Cell-ID has proven to be both reliable and accurate. Many lives have been saved due to the use of Cell-ID technology
In fact, authorities used Cell-ID to track OJ Simpson while he fled across town in a white Ford Bronco.
Cellular carriers will continue to increase the triangulation accuracy of their network to stay in compliance with the FCC mandate. Last year the FCC passed a ruling that requires cellular carriers to greatly increase the accuracy of Cell-ID in their networks and this with eventually result in Cell-ID having the same accuracy as GPS.
About Us
Launching a Wireless Revolution!
GeoTraq had embarked on a mission to create the lowest cost and smallest tracking device with the longest battery life that can be located indoors. Our device relies exclusively on GSM Cellular ID technology and does not use GPS whatsoever. The device is located using cellular triangulation which is a service offered by cell carriers using a technology called Cell-ID which is the same technology emergency responders have been relying on for years to locate cell phones in mission critical emergency situations.
Multiple cellular carriers throughout the world have agreed to partner with GeoTraq to provide this same service to locate our devices. As the first company to introduce a Cell-ID specific hardware device for location services outside of the emergency responder context we expect to sign a long term MSA (Master Service Agreement) with GSM carriers that will lock in very favorable long term pricing for the company giving us a competitive advantage over any later imitators of our proprietary technology.
Our proprietary technology is based on Cellular Triangulation is a process by which the location of a radio transmitter can be determined by measuring either the radial distance, or the direction, of the received signal from two or three different points. Cellular Triangulation is sometimes used in cellular communications to pinpoint the geographic position of a device on the network. The cellular network can then estimate the approximate location of the device as shown in the diagram at right.
Our device utilizes essentially a three step process: (1) our customer uses our software platform to send a request to the carrier to locate our device (each request is called a "look-up"); (2) the cell carrier performs a calculation based on the information received from the cell tower base stations closest to the device and the data is converted into a geographical position; (3) the geographic position is shown to the user on their phone or personal computer in the form of maps and reports.
Bottom line... we will completely change the way assets are protected and recovered throughout the world!
