 ITS Pty. Ltd. of Adelaide, Australia has launched its new StepLogger personal tracking device, which uses Sarantel's GeoHelix-S GPS antenna.

The StepLogger is a mobile logging and tracking device that uses GPS to provide accurate location, FLASH memory to store data, and GSM to transmit data and events. At the touch of a button an SMS message with the exact location can be sent to one or more pre-programmed phone numbers.

Sarantel's GeoHelix antenna was selected for its high sensitivity in near-body use, its small size, and ease of integration into the StepLogger. These features enable the StepLogger to pinpoint location to exacting standards in very difficult situations.

Sarantel's GeoHelix antenna helped NEVE overcome the challenges of size, sensitivity, and performance in a multi-radio platform subject to less-than-ideal user environments."
