Birds Eye Global Tracking has announced today the creation of a partnership with National Silver Alert®, Inc. to provide GPS tracking devices to Alzheimer's and dementia patients
Clearwater, FL, 12/12/2009- Birds Eye Global Tracking, LLC, announced today the creation of a partnership with National Silver Alert®, Inc. to provide GPS tracking devices to Americans living with Alzheimer's and dementia.
The National Silver Alert Program is a free online registration service available to senior citizens and those suffering from cognitive disorders, regardless of age.
"National Silver Alert selected the Birds Eye tracking device because of its quad-band worldwide converge and the fact that it was designed specifically for the needs of our members," said National Silver Alert President Neil Arfmann.
National Silver Alert was developed in 2009 to provide vital information to authorities to assist in the search and safe recovery of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders, and quickly reunite them with their loved ones and/or caregivers.
In recent tests, the Bird's Eye "National Silver Alert Tracker" was rated #1 for locating children and special needs individuals because of its ability to track both indoors and outdoors with equal precision.
This remarkable performance was validated and certified by the AT&T Laboratory in Austin, after several months of intensive testing.
"We're very proud and excited that National Silver Alert® has chosen Birds Eye as the GPS tracker of choice for its thousands of members," said Birds Eye (http://birdseyeglobaltracking.com) President and Founder, Jimmy Bitzas.
"By joining forces with National Silver Alert, Birds Eye will now be able to put this life saving device into the hands of more families caring for their loved ones."
Laboratory testing for the Birds Eye Tracking Device was conducted over a period of several months at the new AT&T wireless device testing laboratory, in Austin, Texas.
The testing facility, which opened in 2009, subjects each device to a series of rigorous tests to ensure the operational reliability of each unit as well as its ability to function flawlessly across the entire AT&T wireless network.
What makes the Birds Eye Tracker perform so well in recent testing is its capability to combine two 21st century location technologies: the GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) system used by the US military and vehicle navigation systems and cell phone tower position plotting.
Unlike the common vehicle navigation system, which must use line of sight from the satellites looking down at the vehicle, this new GPRS technology can now locate a subject inside a building and other structures.
In a recent product test, the Birds Eye "Hawk-Eye" device was able to pinpoint the location of a subject on the 30th floor of a high-rise office building, in downtown Tampa.
As with all Birds Eye (http://birdseyeglobaltracking.com ) GPS tracking systems, the Birds Eye GPRS is designed to work with the firm's proprietary GPS tracking software, which provides geo-fencing capabilities, and worldwide satellite mapping with high resolution magnification and street level monitoring options. With 12-volt DC adaptability, Birds Eye GPS Fleet tracking systems can also be installed using a permanent hardwire connection.
Quad-mode GPRS circuitry gives the Birds Eye Tracker the ability to cover all 4 GSM frequencies, including 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz bands, providing worldwide functionality.
