Rocky Mountain Tracking Releases Asset Tracking Solution -- The Smart Tracker Plus

FORT COLLINS, Colo., June 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rocky Mountain Tracking, a leading provider of GPS asset tracking devices since 2003, is proud to announce the release of the Smart Tracker Plus. The Smart Tracker Plus is similar to the extremely popular Smart Tracker, except the former has new, enhanced features.  A waterproof casing, long lasting battery life and remote activation capability makes this an ideal GPS tracking device for construction companies, tractor trailer operators, and other industries that rely on their heavy machinery every day. Especially those companies that simply cannot afford to operate with the theft or disappearance of such valuable equipment.

There are more than 77,000 reported cases of heavy equipment theft each year alone in the nation. Usually items are not ever found again; some estimates point to a 7% recovery rate.  Just like the Smart Tracker, the Smart Tracker Plus features remote activation and locates. That means customers can leave their devices un-activated, without a monthly service charge, until an event occurs that requires them to activate service.

The Smart Tracker Plus addresses many concerns that the users of the Smart Tracker had. For those who leave generators, backhoes, tractors, skid steers, and other equipment outside on the job, the new, waterproof casing is a definite plus. It has the ability to handle heavy precipitation, harsh weather, and extreme temperature variances.  In addition, the Smart Tracker Plus features a built-in, backup battery. This backup battery has a superior lifespan over other GPS trackers; it can last up to 3 weeks without charging. This is also a huge relief for those who need to recover their lost or stolen equipment, even if it is missing for a long period of time.

In the case of a missing or stolen item, owners can logon to Rocky Mountain Tracking's NavIQ web-based asset tracking software, activate their device, purchase locates, and promptly locate the item. This device also features 23 geo-fences or "virtual perimeters" that customers can set on their GPS asset tracking device. In addition, the Smart Tracker Plus has an additional, optional component that can interrupt starter of a vehicle or machine. These are all important benefits for those that do not need to track their equipment on a daily or even weekly basis, but need vigilant protection in case of an emergency.

As the leader of GPS tracking devices, Rocky Mountain Tracking has helped thousands of customers find lost and stolen equipment and vehicles.
