Personal tracker and mobile phone has locally-developed Web-based mapping

4 October 2006 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Based on GSM/GPRS and GPS technology for satellite navigation, Falcom’s Mambo is a new portable tracking device for personal safety and asset monitoring. The Mambo is a Tri Band GSM/GPRS engine that works on the three GSM frequencies 900/1800/1900 MHz.

The integrated GPS receiver architecture provides precise location information using satellite signals to track the device anywhere in the world.

With its integrated housing, compact design and ultra-low power consumption, local distributor RF Design says that Mambo is a high-performance device designed for operation as a standalone unit, and is ideally suited for personal security, asset management and automotive applications. The configurable internal firmware in combination with superior hardware performance makes the unit ideal for applications where fleet management and personal security are required.

The Mambo combines a GSM/GPRS engine, a 20 channel GPS receiver, Bluetooth class 2 for voice and data connections and a motion detector. Its 'geofence' features can be used for territory management, route verification, prohibited locations, etc. In an emergency, pressing a touchbutton on the unit's surface will send out an SMS message with location information or perform a voice call to a predefined number via the GSM network. It also has a built-in TCP/IP protocol stack and can also be monitored in realtime over the Internet or be configured to send an e-mail to a predefined e-mail address.

The Mambo is supplied with locally-developed web-based tracking software - exclusive to RF Design clients. The tracking software outputs to Braby's Maps and Google Earth. The Mambo is pre-configured when sold and there are also no monthly charges.
