BetaTrac©: Technology that creates the unfair advantage

Betafon (Pty) Ltd, a South Africa registered company, exclusive distributor for the Benefon® Instruments and cellular phones for sub-Saharan Africa, has officially announced today the launch on the South African market of a new solution, paving the way to an innovative and revolutionary concept in vehicle tracking and personal security.

The person in charge of the software can even send a 'route-to-follow' to a mobile unit and later be notified, should the mobile unit approach the waypoints composing the route. BetaTrac© makes extensive use of vector-maps, that the user can enrich by adding unlimited number of waypoints and routes.

One of the numerous key selling points of BetaTrac© is that the system runs on a computer at the customer’s premises, offering him full confidentiality about his fleet position, immediate reaction in case of problem with a mobile unit and full control over his assets. Plus, once the driver is out of the vehicle the handset becomes his communicator and still allows for tracking, bringing in a new perspective of safety to the user.
