Personal Locator Beacon Phone(PLBP)

22 July 2004 by axxxr
PLBP TM is the ultimate in Exectutive Protection & Hostage Location hardware: a combination analog cellphone and GPS receiver.

With a push of the RED '9' button gives your VIP the peace of mind of having an on-body security system with the convenience of a simultaneous transmission of the caller's voice and location to your Command Center.

In addition to being a full-featured GPS receiver, PLBP is a high-performance cellular phone with exceptional features such as touch-tone location reporting (including the ability to send your exact position and have it displayed on another unit) numeric paging, an electronic "phone book" capable of 100 entries, and intelligent security lock capability. One-touch dialing and a message center which collects missed calls and pager messages for easy retrieval make operating the PLBP even more enjoyable.

PLBP's GPS
Position reporting shows exactly where you're calling from on a high-resolution backlit display, and the GPS receiver technology is a high-performance twelve parallel channel receiver. The database comes complete with an extensive internal database including cities, plus millions of miles of roads and highways across the entire United States, Canada, and South America.

PLBP MAPTRACKER
Is the included software program for personal tracking. It is designed to work with the PLBP , with the click of a button you can call the person or vehicle with the PLBP and the GPS position will be transmitted to the base station. The map is centered on the asset (the person or vehicle) location. Alternatively, the person with the PLBP can initiate the call. A single position can be obtained in about 20 seconds. If desired, the asset can be continuously tracked. The asset's heading and speed are also shown. The standard program permits the storage of up to three remote assets. A complete detailed street map of the United States (48 states) is provided with the program. The street address pops up when the cursor is held over the asset location.

DISCUSSION
Analog Cellular (AMPS) offers the best coverage in North America. The drawback is the cost of making calls, but many plans include free weekend and evening service. This system is most appropriate for use when infrequent tracking is required. The low initial investment and compact portable design make the PLBP an attractive alternative for personal tracking. It can easily fit in a fanny pack or on a belt. Aside from tracking, the PLBP can be used conventionally as a GPS receiver or a cellular phone.
Please note that the PLBP has specific modem requirements and is currently only available for use in the United States.
