PlanetLink Communications Announces Launch of Live Interactive Demonstration Site for 'PlanetTRAKS'
CUMMING, Ga., Feb. 19 -- PlanetLink Communications
Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: PLKC), a provider of satellite-based products and
services announced today that it will launch a live interactive web site on
Friday, February 20th that will demonstrate its PlanetTRAKS user interface
with live data tracking the movement of some of its test group users.
PlanetLink began field-testing its PlanetTRAKS GPS tracking product early this
month in Atlanta, Georgia and San Antonio, Texas.
The unique benefit of PlanetTRAKS is the ability to access secure,
real-time location data of a user via the Internet from any computer,
anywhere. "There are a multitude of practical uses for this exciting
technology from tracking a family member on a driving trip to tracking fleet
vehicles such as delivery trucks, courier vehicles, and emergency response
vehicles," said M. Dewey Bain, president of PlanetLink Communications Inc.
"Our objective is a commercial launch of PlanetTRAKS during the month of
April, 2004."
To access the demonstration site, use this link or navigate to
http://demo.planettraks.com . Starting Friday, February 20th, users will be
able to see a live demonstration of the interactive web interface using
real-time location data and other useful information by following the simple
step-by-step instructions on the site.
Each of the test vehicles is equipped with a unit that transmits data to a
PlanetTRAKS server via the Internet. This location data along with mapping and
other features is used to provide valuable information to the car owner. The
web interface is designed to be completely user defined, allowing each
user/subscriber to log on under a unique user name and password and define how
the service is used to monitor the movement of the vehicle.
PlanetLink is developing a family of GPS-enabled Mobile Locator Units
(MLUs) under the PlanetTRAKS name, designed to communicate real-time location
data and other information over the General Packet Radio System (GPRS) to a
secure Internet server. Customers may then access that information via a
password-protected web site in order to track vehicles and other assets. San
Antonio, Texas-based Karta Technologies Inc., an industry leader in IT,
engineering, training and program management services is leading the R&D
effort.
PlanetLink, headquartered in Cumming, Ga., has three primary business
segments based on satellite-enabled technology. Providing the consumer both
products and services, PlanetLink businesses include: DISH Network (satellite
television), StarBand (High-Speed Internet Access) and Global Positioning
System (GPS) personal tracking devices. PlanetLink's goal is to become a
single-source dealer / distributor of technologically advanced, satellite-
based products and services. With a strong and growing product offering and
brand name, PlanetLink is building this unique category into a class all its
own.
