January 9, 2007 (Press Release) --
Sarantel, the leading manufacturer of revolutionary filtering antennas for mobile and wireless devices and mywerk GmbH, a manufacturer of GPS tracking devices, today announce the availability of the world’s smallest quad band GPS and GPRS tracking device.
Just larger than a matchbox, the Nanotrack is the world’s smallest GPS tracker and has been designed to serve the personal, car and asset tracking markets. The device receives positional information from the GPS satellites and communicates this data via GSM networks. A central server stores the position and information for the user who can use it in GPRS or SMS mode.
The device incorporates the GeoHelix S antenna. GeoHelix antennas have a tightly constrained near field, meaning the antenna doesn’t lose performance when in close proximity to people or active components. The miniature antenna is omni-directional, meaning that it will detect the satellites no matter the orientation of the device.
With different power-saving modes, the Nanotrack lends itself well to all kinds of tracking applications and is capable of operating from several hours to many years, depending on the requirement. There is no need for firmware reprogramming as the Nanotrack can be updated remotely.
Robert Bastubbe, Chief Executive Officer of mywerk GmbH comments: “Performance problems and operations outages are generally caused by the same issues time and time again. The antenna is often the source of these problems through poor performance, improper placement, external manipulation or accidental interruption. The GeoHelix antenna solved all of these problems and helped us to get our concept to market quickly”.
David Wither, Chief Executive of Sarantel commented: “We are delighted to have been chosen for the Nanotrack device, whose small size will make a big impact on the personal and asset tracking markets.”
