When you think of smuggling you probably think about people bringing products or drugs into the country or across state borders illegally. But one of the darkest aspects of smuggling involves people. Just last week, the story of the death of 10 people who were part of a group of as many as 200 illegal immigrants who were smuggled across the Mexican border into Texas and then stuffed into a hot, unventilated tractor-trailer that was transported by a truck driver exploded in newspapers and on television. But could GPS fleet tracking have helped prevent what happened or at least deter... View Article

Teenagers have been sneaking out at night probably as long as there have been teenagers. Sneaking out once or twice and never again is probably nothing to worry too much about. However, if your teenage son or daughter is sneaking out regularly, you definitely have cause for concern. Besides being a sign of a troubled teen, it’s also a safety hazard and in many places, it’s illegal for kids under 18 to be out at night. Teenagers tend to want to do things more when they’re told they can’t. With the internet, it’s also much easier for your teenager to... View Article

The trucking industry is ever-evolving and constantly driving forward with new technologies in tow. This upcoming December, the entire industry will take yet another step forward by way of fleet GPS tracking devices. Beginning on December 18, 2017, all freight truck operators will be required to begin using electronic logging devices (ELDs), instead of paper logs, to keep track of records. For many trucking companies, this is nothing new. The mandate was made official in 2015, with a 2-year compliance window for freight companies and drivers. Those 2 years have gone by quickly, though! And while many have adopted the... View Article

If you’re thinking of investing in a GPS tracking device, you’re probably going to run into a fundamental problem: do you need an active or a passive tracking device? That’s right—not all GPS devices function in the same way or even in the same capacity! Knowing whether you need an active or a passive device for your purposes means first understanding the difference between the two—how they function, what features they offer, how they track and report data, etc. Our passive GPS tracking systems are no longer supported. Going forward, we recommend the low-cost AirIQ Bat AA portable tracking systems.... View Article

Police action is tactile and coordinated, and it’s that way for a reason: it helps minimize hostility, defuse the situation and keep any collateral damage to a minimum. Take a look at any newsworthy car chase, for example. You’re never going to see the police playing bumper cars with the fleeing vehicle! Instead, they’re blocking exits, setting down spike strips, barricading spaces and evacuating at-risk areas. How are the police able to get so much done, in such a coordinated manner? It’s all thanks to GPS tracking devices. And it’s not just for car chases, either—GPS plays an integral role... View Article
