The GT2 Security Force Locator Solution addresses the unique needs of security organizations by tracking, monitoring and managing the activities of foot patrol security personnel both indoors and outdoors. With GT2, sleeping guards, abandoned posts, and unproductive shifts are a thing of the past.

The GT2 is not just a device that checks on whether or not security officers are slacking off. GT2 is a highly intuitive tool that provides real-time, actionable intelligence and greatly increases the value of the security services being performed from both a service provider perspective as well as from a customer service perspective. The GT2, together with a Web-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) platform, is tailored specifically for the security service industry. Using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology along with RFID functionality, guard location and activity is made transparent. GT2 uses GPS to acquire the location of a security officer outdoors and RFID tag scans to acquire indoor location, while gathering other important data points, including motion, time, heading and speed. Using the wireless cellular network, GT2 transmits the data to a secure and redundant server farm where the data is parsed and made available to authorized users and monitors. The server processes and posts the data to a GIS (Geographical Information Systems) Web-based mapping application that includes satellite imagery.

Beyond the location tracking and monitoring aspects of the GT2 solution, is the ability of the device to function as a dedicated communication device. The device can be used as a typical GSM mobile phone and it can pass non-verbal short messages using a numeric event coding sequence. With GT2, security supervisors and managers are "virtually" on foot patrol with the officers, and are immediately notified by phone, e-mail or SMS message when events or deviations occur. In fact, GT2 is an extremely versatile, lightweight, yet durable, device.
