Contigo Announces Launch Of Asset-Tracking Beacon
Contigo, a provider of turn-key GPS solutions for asset tracking, fleet management and personal safety, is pleased to announce the launch of the Contigo 8100. This device is an inexpensive, indoor-locatable beacon for covert asset tracking, theft recovery and personal security.
The Contigo 8100 uses gpsOne from Qualcomm. This technology allows the beacon to be located in environments where standalone GPS fails, such as indoors. The device also provides a battery life of up to 10 days on a single charge.
Using the Contigo platform, subscribers have the ability to proactively locate or track the 8100, review scheduled position reports online, and receive alerts (via e-mail or cell phone) for multiple monitored zones. Integrated central station incident handling and location-aware PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) data work together to immediately dispatch local authorities in the event of a theft.
"Never before has there been such a powerful, small and inexpensive GPS tracking beacon," commented Rob Goehring, vice president of product management and marketing for Contigo. The versatility of this product will open up new markets in asset tracking, covert investigations and personal security for both commercial businesses as well as family safety applications. This product is a welcome addition to Contigo's industry leading suite of GPS beacons."
The Contigo 8100 will be on display at ISC East at booth 2035.
