WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Ericsson Technology Enabled Security Device Launched in Japan
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has announced that a brand-new security
device with positioning capabilities, enabled by Ericsson technology,
has been launched in Japan.
NTT DoCoMo, Inc., the Japanese telecoms giant, has launched a safety
device that gets high-precision location information by using the GPS
function. The device is designed to provide family members or
authorities with positioning information or to enable location
tracking when the user pulls the slide switch in a dangerous or
emergency situation. The slide switch also triggers a crime
prevention buzzer on the device.
The device is based on the U310 platform developed by Ericsson. The
platform enables the modem and GPS functionality within the device,
which is small enough to be carried inside a pocket or bag for easy
activation in case of emergency.
Robert Puskaric, Head of Ericsson Mobile Platforms, says: "This shows
that our platform technology is flexible and small enough to be
implemented in devices other than the traditional mobile phone. We
are also pleased to see that our platform has been included in a
security device within the DoCoMo portfolio, as this proves its
stability and quality."
The product, CTG-001G, has been developed by Giant Electronics on
behalf of DoCoMo, and was launched on the Japanese market on December 7.
Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet
communications through its continuous technology leadership.
Providing innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson
is helping to create the most powerful communication companies in the
world.
