SUNNYVALE, CA and VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - May 10, 2010) - TeleNav and Sendum today announced the availability of the Sendum PT200 tracking device for Sprint (
The Sendum PT200 is a portable, rugged tracking device that can easily be placed in packages, containers or mounted to assets such as machinery or vehicles. The device uses assisted GPS, a technology combining GPS satellite and cellular tower triangulation data, to provide highly-accurate location information in conditions where most autonomous GPS receivers are unable to get a location fix. The Sendum PT200 is also designed for extreme conditions, working in temperatures ranging from -20° to +60°C (-4° to 140°F). Additional features include:
- Rechargeable, quick-change, high capacity lithium ion battery packs capable of powering the device for a long duration in the field
- Comprehensive reporting -- on demand, or scheduled reporting cycle
- Battery level alert notifications
- Geo-fence function to report when assets leave or enter a defined area
- Integrated temperature sensor
- Intelligent power management conserves battery life and minimizes network usage
Organizations can use TeleNav Asset Tracker with the Sendum PT200 to monitor and report the precise location of high-value assets to improve the efficiency of dispatch, ensure equipment is located at the proper job site, and reduce theft of high-value property or machinery. The software uses a detailed, animated map to allow for easy identification of an asset's location or the path of a moving asset. Real-time alerts can also be configured to send notification of geo-fence events, extended stops, or loss of communication with the device.
"We believe the Sendum PT200 provides the precision and durability our customers require to use our TeleNav Asset Tracker software in their daily operations," said Ravi Acharya, associate director of B2B marketing at TeleNav.
