November 9, 2007--Today, Loc8tor, developers of the most sophisticated personal tracking device of its kind, announces U.S. availability of their pioneering product. With the longest range and smallest tags available in its category, along with easy to use directional capabilities that guide you which way to walk, Loc8tor is unlike anything else currently available. Loc8tor Plus uses patent-pending technology to help find misplaced possessions, while also providing important child safety features.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, an average of 2,185 children under the age of 18, are reported missing daily. The Loc8tor Plus allows users to set an invisible safety zone protecting their children, pets or any other valuable while set in “Alert” mode. If your children, for example, wander outside the pre-set boundaries at the mall, you are immediately alerted with audio, visual and vibration alarms. The individual “Panic” tags also include the vital “Panic” button, enabling a child or dependant to call for help. When pressed, it activates the “Alert Alarm” on the handheld unit, advising the user which child activated the alarm.  read more »
