Portland , ME – New Personal Tracking Device Helps Track Children, Pets, Valuable Assets and More
Gemini Technologies has announced the introduction of the Gemtek, a personal and portable tracking device, to the U.S. market. The Gemtek combines the technology of global positioning satellites (GPS), cellular phone communication and the Internet in a small device that upon request can transmit its exact location in seconds. At half the size of a deck of playing cards, the Gemtek can be easily concealed or attached to a child, pet or valuable asset.
“The Gemtek is innovative technology that is designed to help give people the peace of mind they deserve,” says Tracy Alves, President of Gemini Technologies which is headquartered in Portland , Maine . “Whether it's for your children, pets, car, laptop computer or other valuable asset, with Gemtek you can locate whatever is important to you at the click of a button or a simple phone call. ”
Through a monthly subscription to the 24/7 Locate Service, ( www.gemtektracking.com ), Gemtek owners access a password protected, user-friendly web panel with detailed maps to pinpoint the exact location of the Gemtek device at the click of a button. If Internet access isn't available, a request for a location can be made from the Gemtek owner's mobile phone, and within seconds the address location of their Gemtek is sent back to their mobile phone. The Gemtek also features an "SOS" button that when pressed by the person carrying the device, immediately sends its location and triggers alerts to contacts designated by the Gemtek owner in the event of an emergency. Owners can set up a “Safety Zone” and get alerts anytime the Gemtek travels outside the defined area, for use with children, pets, or valuable assets, to ensure they stay within a certain area. The Gemtek device also functions as a simplified cellular telephone, with 2 pre-programmed speed dial buttons that can be set or easily changed by the owner of the Gemtek through the Internet control panel.
Online mapping software allows users' end result to be as specific as a street address and building level detail, or zoom out to get a wider angle of the Gemtek's location.
The potential uses of this new technology are far reaching. Parents can easily affix the Gemtek to their child and know if they are safe, where they are, track their location in the event they are lost or abducted, or receive a distress SOS call from the child in the event of an emergency.
Additional uses for the Gemtek personal tracking device include parents with school-age children or teenage drivers, as well as for families with aging relatives to provide them with a way to reach their loved ones on a moment's notice and transmit their exact location if they need assistance. Pet owners can rest assured that their beloved pets remain within the confines of their yard or can be located in the event they wander off. Companies can track valuable assets, such as inventory, laptop computers, etc. and know its precise location or receive an alert if it has been moved from a particular location. Additional applications include fleet management tracking, personal security for independent workers, safety locator devices for police officers and fire/rescue personnel, and security for schools and day care facilities.
US efforts are headquartered in Portland , Maine with offices in Florida and the United Kingdom . Gemini Technologies believes that everyone should feel safe in an unsafe world. The Gemtek Personal Tracking Device revolutionizes how people locate people, pets, and property and helps protect what matters most. The company launched the product in the United Kingdom earlier this year and also plans expansion into other countries throughout Europe , and is currently in talks for distribution in Brazil and Australia .
