Mtrack declares WAR

July 2017 News & Events, Asset Management

MtrackWAR stands for Mtrack Wireless Asset Recovery. It also represents the war that the company says it is waging, and winning against criminals.

Following on from the success of Mtrack, MtrackPro and Mtrack3, sporting what the company says is the world’s best recovery rate of 97% over the last nine years, Mtrack is announcing its latest hardware platform, the MtrackWAR, the next level of technology in wireless asset tracking and recovery.

MtrackWAR is a self-powered, totally wireless device that enables tracking and recovery of vehicles and assets throughout the country, indoors and out, above ground and below, using a combination of GSM, GPS and RF technology. MtrackWAR is:

• Totally self-contained wireless device – all antennas are internal and built into the device. No wires to be found and cut.

• No interference with vehicle wiring harnesses. No risk to vehicle warranties. If the vehicle battery is tampered with, MtrackWAR is unaffected.

• Using the GSM network, MtrackWAR is not as easy to shield as purely GPS based systems. Unlike GPS, stolen goods can be traced inside vehicles, indoors, outdoors, and even underground such as in car parks, basements and garages. MtrackWAR does not need to ‘see the sky’.

• On a standard 1-hour sleep cycle and sending a health check once a day, the rechargeable battery will last for 12 months – embed and forget. Depending on application, trickle charging is also possible.

• No software requirement, as the reporting and mapping system is completely Web based. You can easily manage your assets from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.

MtrackWAR is used to protect many types of assets in a wide range of businesses. The main applications are: goods in transit, couriers, plant and machinery hire, retailers, construction companies, car dealerships, cars, motor bikes, caravans, boats, jet skis, banks, cash in transit, insurance, generators, air conditioners, computers, solar panels and more can all be secured. MtrackWAR is available from July 2017.
