Discover™ GPS Speaker Microphone provides accurate real time
location and tracking information
Irving, TX – January
19, 2009 – EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: EFJI) today
introduced the Discover™ GPS Speaker Microphone. The Discover™ GPS Speaker
Microphone transmits location, text messages, and tracking information
over the award-winning EFJohnson 5100 ES series P25 portable radios.
“Military users and search-and-rescue teams need a reliable tool
for accurate real time locating and tracking information,” said Michael
Jalbert, president and chief executive officer of EF Johnson Technologies,
Inc. “Our new Discover GPS Speaker Microphone is an excellent tool for
coordinating field operations and seeing the location of group members
in real time.” A large, backlit LCD screen provides an easy to use icon-based
operation and allows for graphic representation of relative distance
and direction to other team members. Text messages and waypoints can
be transmitted to groups, individuals or dispatch. Highly accurate location
data can be transmitted over analog or digital channels, clear or encrypted,
with every push-to-talk or at pre-determined time or distance intervals.
The Discover GPS Speaker Microphone is compatible with a number of commercially
available graphic and mapping applications for complete real time situational
awareness and group coordination.
“Our new GPS offering is more
than just an accessory – it is a complete GPS location solution. The
real time location of personnel can be transmitted to other group members
or back to a central location. This data can be used in conjunction
with compatible mapping and tracking software to provide new information
beneficial for maximum efficiency and safety of personnel,” Jalbert
said.
