Axonn chooses u-blox GPS Technology for Asset Tracking

Herndon, VA / New Orleans, LA (ots)

u-blox America, Inc. and
Axonn LLC today announced that Axonn has chosen u-blox GPS
positioning technology for its AXTracker® asset tracking device.
AXTracker®, one of the world's smallest, autonomous tracking
units, will utilize u-blox's high-precision Antaris® GPS engine for
accurate position and status reporting of containers, trailers, and
other untethered mobile assets using the Globalstar satellite
network.
"Our exhaustive tests have demonstrated that GPS receivers based
on u-blox's low-power Antaris® GPS technology are ideal for our
miniaturized device," says Robert Olsavsky, General Manager at Axonn.
 "The fast start-up times and extremely low power consumption of the
u-blox TIM-LC allow our AXTracker® to be in operation for many
years without the need to replace batteries."
The AXTracker® is designed to operate fully autonomously for up
to seven years.  The installation takes only minutes, after which
there is no need for servicing the device again throughout its life
cycle. Its satellite communications link and its ruggedness make it
the perfect choice for tracking mobile assets globally.
"u-blox created the surface-mount TIM™ form factor for its GPS
receivers exactly for the rugged environment of the AXTracker®,"
says Nikolaos Papadopoulos, President of u-blox America. "Our GPS
technology's high sensitivity, combined with our extreme focus on
quality in design and production, ensures that our GPS receivers will
operate even under the most extreme conditions."
Given the low cost, ease of installation and reliability, Axonn is
confident that the AXTracker® will make tracking an affordable
proposition for any company interested in knowing where its global
mobile assets are at any given time.
