i.Trek TR-1
 
i.Trek TR-1 Personal Tracking System is an effective and affordable real time tracking solution. Unlike traditional tracking system, i.Trek TR-1 does not rely on call center to operate. There is no monthly service fees to pay and your privacy is completely secured. User can track any object or person globally as long as TR-1 tracker is within cell phone network and has line of sight with sky.
 
How it works
The TR-1 Tracker gets the position information from the satellite and converts the data into voice stream. The voice data is transmitted via GMS network as a regular voice call. The phone receives the voice and passes to Bluetooth decoder which converts voice stream back to position data. The data is then transmitted to a display device such as PDA, SmartPhone or laptop via Bluetooth to display tracker position on screen.
