GTX Corp (OTC: GTXO), a pioneer in the field of wearable GPS
tracking and wandering assistive Internet of Things (IoT) technology, is
quickly becoming a go-to provider of innovative solutions that monitor, track
and relay the locations of both assets and people. In a news release, GTX
announced that it has received a new contract from Edwards Air Force Base (AFB)
for additional units of the company’s Personnel, Equipment Tracking System
(P.E.T.S.), a lightweight, mobile non-cellular, encrypted GPS technology
platform designed to track personnel and equipment (http://ibn.fm/EQEI0).
GTX will manufacture, install and provide ongoing
maintenance for the P.E.T.S. platform, delivering the initial order in Q1 2018
and expecting to deliver this second order by October 2018. All hardware,
software and firmware is being manufactured and coded by GTX Corp at its Los
Angeles, California, headquarters.
“It is a true honor to support our military and to be
entrusted with developing GPS technology solutions that, at their core, are
designed to help save lives,” Patrick Bertagna, GTX Corp CEO, said in a news
release. “Edwards AFB conducts live ammunitions testing; hence, knowing where
every person and asset are on the base in real time is of vital importance.
Coming on the heels of signing an agreement with KGH, we are deeply committed
to pursuing and growing this channel of government business and currently in
discussion with several other agencies.”
The company’s highly versatile and scalable military-grade
tagging, tracking and locating GPS platform is designed to transmit encrypted
data from remote locations through RF technology, reporting latitude and
longitude coordinates every second. Each GPS transmitter is housed in a
military-grade, water-resistant encasement about the size of a garage door
opener that weighs less than eight ounces. The contract includes the strategic
installation of repeaters with 12-volt batteries and solar panels to achieve
months of battery life, along with base station receivers that collect the
encrypted data for display.
The recently announced signing of a bilateral distribution
and collaboration agreement with Kiernan Group Holdings, Inc. (“KGH”) is
another example of GTX’s commitment to its goal of making the world a better
and safer place. KGH is a global consulting firm specializing in law
enforcement, risk services, defense, intelligence and critical infrastructure
resiliency, a joint news release states (http://ibn.fm/bjKzq). As part of the agreement, GTX and KGH
will resell, cross-promote and collaborate on projects that fit their mutual
core competencies.
“We are hitting the ground running, beginning with a host of
initiatives to introduce GTX solutions within select agencies and organizations
such as the Department of Veterans Affairs,” Bertagna said in a news release,
adding that he is extremely pleased to welcome KGH founder and CEO Dr. Kathleen
Kiernan, a 29-year veteran of federal law enforcement, to the GTX Corp advisory
board.
GTX Corp’s proprietary and patented technology is designed
as a versatile product, able to be deployed in any number of scenarios. One
critical area of focus is in tracking the vulnerable – adults with dementia,
children and even pets. The company’s flagship GPS SmartSole product is a
hidden tracking insole, while the Invisabelt is worn inside a waistband. GTX
also developed a mobile app that allows for tracking of individuals including
family members and employees.
One research report released by Alzheimer’s Disease
International and Kings College London estimates that the number of people
living with dementia will double by 2050, making up about 1.4 percent of the
global population, or about 131.5 million people (http://ibn.fm/aBnBK). The
worldwide economic impact of various diseases associated with dementia is
expected to reach $2 trillion in 2030, Statista reports (http://ibn.fm/o9Kci).
Emergency response systems for seniors, such as wearable
devices that keep the wearer connected to family and friends, are a growing
sector of the connected-home products and services market. Best Buy recently
agreed to pay $800 million to acquire GreatCall Inc., a provider of smartphones
and wearable devices for seniors. The purchase signals an increasing interest
in capturing the rapidly growing senior-services market, with wearable GPS
technologies a significant acquisition target, according to a Bloomberg article
(http://ibn.fm/uwoNn).
George Mason University’s College of Health and Human
Services is using GTX Corp’s SmartSole technology in research to predict human
wandering. The Alzheimer’s & Related Diseases Research Award Fund is
financing the research program, which is using the GTX SmartSole and data from
the wandering behaviors of individuals with Alzheimer’s to develop a system
that can quickly detect and prevent episodes of wandering, which are a major
concern due to health and safety risks.
