TrimTrac

The TrimTrac Locator: Affordable, Sensible, Versatile

The world's first affordable, fully integrated vehicle tracking, security and recovery device for applications requiring periodic autonomous position reporting and/or real-time on-demand polling, and cost-effective wireless communications.

What is the TrimTrac locator?

The TrimTrac locator is a self-contained and complete packaged end-user device. The size of a white board eraser, it can report position based on a variety of user-defined methods such as automatic sending of periodic autonomous reports, motion detected or scheduled reports, or even real-time on-demand polls for the reporting the most current position. These reports are sent as SMS text messages over a GSM communications network either individually or grouped together to reduce the telecommunication costs and improve battery life.

Other features:

- No external wires or antenna
- Durable, lightweight, water-resistant housing
- Enhanced sensitivity for indoor and outdoor reporting
- Tri-band GSM 900/1800 MHz (DCS) and 1900 MHz (PCS) for worldwide coverage
- Operates up to 90 days on 4 AA batteries under typical usage with good GPS signal strength.
- Optional Vehicle Adapter Module connects to vehicle power and has a standby rechargeable battery for continued operations if vehicle power is lost

Smart Engineering, Unparalleled Integration

The TrimTrac locator delivers immediate and ongoing value. The device offers global GPS location technology with GSM communications, the foremost global digital wireless network, on a single board, controlled by a common microprocessor. This unprecedented level of integration promotes reliability, functionality, and power conservation, while dramatically reducing the size and cost of the unit.
