Xact Technology Launches XACT | TRAX at CES 2009
January 08, 2009

Company: Xact Technology
Location: Las Vegas, NV, United States of America



Portable GPS tracking device with no subscription required - An easy and affordable way to locate and protect property, pets and loved ones.

LAS VEGAS,NV--Incorporating an easy and affordable global positioning technology into personal lives has been an unrealized promise. That is, until now. Xact Technology™, LLC., a leading provider of consumer electronics products, announced the launch of XACT | TRAX – a portable, personal tracking device that uses global positioning technology to provide the location of loved ones, pets, property and assets, anytime anywhere in the world with no monthly subscription. The XACT | TRAX is an ideal solution for parents, property owners and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Utilizing a proprietary, web based portal, XACT provides a user-friendly dashboard for management of features and preferences like setting boundaries or “geo-fences” and managing emergency contact lists and alerts. Location requests are initiated either on the web portal or can be sent and received via text message on any mobile phone. Location results are displayed on an easy to read map, providing the physical address, date and time, along with a robust suite of additional features.

“XACT | TRAX personal tracking device provides peace of mind that parents and property owners have long been seeking,” said William Acevedo, VP of Product Development, Xact Technology. “For example, if I want to know when my child gets home from school, I can set a recurring schedule for a daily notification at 3:30 pm and set a geographical boundary “geo-fence” at 100 feet from my home address. Then, as the locator enters the set perimeter, I’ll receive an automatic SMS (text) notifying me that the device and my child has entered the area and my child is home safe.”

Acevedo continued, “For many years, the government, military and major corporations have utilized GPS technology to keep track of people, objects and vehicles. However, the capabilities have been cost-prohibitive for personal use. Now, thanks to our proprietary solutions, users can keep track of their children, pets and possessions from anywhere in the world. “
