AnyDATA Corporation Launches Smallest CDMA Wireless GPS Personal Locating Device

location based services


IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 3 -- AnyDATA Corporation today has launched its newest product, the AGT-100D, a CDMA wireless GPS personal location device. The AGT-100D can be tracked using any existing Internet-based web application that currently uses assisted-GPS (AGPS) services for tracking. AGPS service is the same service used today for E911 location of cell phones by CDMA carriers, but now is commercially available for personal location devices. The AGT-100D is one of the first CDMA data devices to use the AGPS services for personal asset tracking.

Because of the low price and very small size of the AGT-100D, it can be used as a personal asset tag for locating people as well as valuable personal assets which may become mobile. The people-applications include locating your child, parent, employee, or a health-impaired person. Even family pets can be located. The personal-asset applications include locating all your mobile assets transported in a vehicle, or the location of the vehicle itself. Being able to locate the lost or stolen mobile assets reduces safety/security concerns for any consumer or business.

With the emergence of wireless-Internet capabilities on a variety of mobile devices, locating a personal asset just became even easier. Laptop personal computers and Smartphones can now run a tracking software application to access the location of the AGT-100D tag. Look for even newer location technologies to emerge to further enhance the uses of the AGT-100D.

"While location-based services have been available using GPS technology for quite some time, the AGT-100D personal asset tag using AGPS technology opens new markets of location applications such as locating your assets indoors away from view of the GPS satellites," said Ed Huelsman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for AnyDATA. "The AGT-100D is only the first of a whole new family of wireless devices and services being launched in 2007 by AnyDATA."
