GPSit Names Mexico Distributor At Expo Seguridad

  • Apr 23, 2010

GPS International Technologies Inc., a provider of location-based security solutions, recently named Guibor Promoter S.A. of C.V. as its distributor in Mexico for GPSit's covert GPS tracking solutions and services, which are immediately available to companies moving high-value assets throughout Mexico. GPSit products were on display in Sym's booth during Expo Seguridad Mexico.

Highly accurate and dependable asset tracking in Mexico is a key concern for many businesses who desire to track their high-value goods and thereby improve loss prevention initiatives.

"GPSit's solution is vastly superior to almost all asset tracking solutions," said Gadi Mokotov, general manager, Guibor Promoter. "We extensively tested many solutions and determined its highly sensitive Assisted GPS (A-GPS) trackers, which enable location determination of goods-in-transit even from within a truck or warehoused location, to be exactly what our customers require."

Cargo tracking is enabled by Trackfusion, a Web-based application that provides real-time visibility of the goods in transit. Utilizing Qualcomm's gpsOne position location technology available on CDMA networks, tracking devices can obtain a position fix even when embedded within a shipment in the back of a closed trailer. Advanced features such as photo sensors to detect the presence of light and vibration sensors to detect movement greatly extend tracking device battery life. These technology improvements have greatly expanded the scope of asset tracking opportunities in Mexico.

Service available in Mexico is enabled by GPSit's cellular services partner IUSACELL. IUSACELL's CDMA data network provides the location and data services that enable the highly accurate A-GPS locates of GPSit's FS1 family of covert tracking devices.

It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
