Market applications of realtime tracking include valuable transports security, VIP security, field operations management and sports events.
Realtime tracking is a standard feature in the new TWIG Protector safety device, the TWIG Discovery Pro safety phone and the TWIG Locator tracking device (from firmware release 014).
