GPS Tracking Device Introduced on Ghanaian Market

A Global Positioning System (GSP) tracking device - Tramigo T22, that helps users track their cars and manage the fleet has been introduced to the Ghanaian market.

Tramigo T22 is said to be the first tracking device in the world that has both Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) fused into one platform that gives it a unique operational versatility.

The Tramigo T22 is designed to report a range of vital information, such as location, speed and duration of trips by any vehicle (including boats and trucks) directly to an authorised mobile phone. Tramigo T22 also generates journey reports and monitors the usage of vehicles by advising when the ignition of a vehicle is switched on and off.

According to Aryee Hugh, the Chief Executive Officer of Proffworld Links Consult Ltd, local partners of the device, Tramigo would operate on a local detailed mapping, which is linked to over 100 countries worldwide. It also interfaces with Google earth, an internet- based mapping system.

Hugh said Tramigo's unique ability to offer Landmark Data (TLD) for any country in the world is now generating broad interest throughout the world, adding that the latest technology, which would assist the security agencies, corporate bodies and individuals in protecting their life and property, would be officially launched on April 28, adding that

Usage comes with no monthly fees, computers, Internet, the user only pays the normal short message system (SMS) via any cellular network in the country. Users neither have to understand or try to fathom complicated coordinates or refer to traditional maps, since the GSM-GPS tracking devices have built-in geographical data that help users to locate their device by using practical and easyto- understand landmark reference points.

The Tramigo's devices come with optimised pre-loaded landmark data including information-rich point of interest data, cities, towns, and villages for every region with customised data for Ghana.

“This data is geo-referenced with advanced aerial and satellite imagery and verified by Tramigo's field teams using the latest GPS technology to ensure its accuracy and reliability,” Mr Huge explained. “At this time when crime has become so sophisticated and the increase of accidents on our roads, the introduction of the Tramigo T22 therefore into the Ghanaian market is timely,” he added.

The Tramigo T22 is perfect for entrepreneurs and small companies with its easy-to-use and no monthly fee business model. With customised landmarks for Ghana and over 100 countries, the technology is said to enable busy business owners, companies, transport owners, taxi owners and drivers to track, control and monitor their vehicles and assets simply from their GSM phone.
