Parents, who have already decided to purchase a mobile phone for their child in the interests of safety, have been excited by this development. It means they can see where their child is at any given time and can also enable them to retrieve the phone in the event of loss or theft.

KoolTrax™ turns Windows Mobile and Nokia N95 GPS cell phones (or equivalent) into trackers, enabling their exact location to be monitored on the Internet or on another mobile PDA. Software compatible with i-phone and Blackberry GPS cell phones is due to be rolled out in April.

Tracking with KoolTrax™ is live and continuous. Geo Positioning Satellite signals are sent to the unit every 8 seconds and can determine the position of the cell tracker to within four metres.

KoolTrax™ software can be downloaded from the internet and incorporates all the features that can are found on Blue Tree’s Blue Ranger tracking unit. Virtual fence and speed alerts can be set up and all tracking history is visible. KoolTrax™ lets you monitor as many licensed devices as you want all on one screen.

Mike Smuts, Managing Director of Blue Tree Services commented: “Lots of children these days want a mobile phone so they can persuade their parents to give them a bit more freedom. We are finding that parents are more inclined to give their child a mobile if it can have this software so they have that extra security. It seems to be a win win for both parent and child. ”

The mobile and PC software is written by Blue Tree Services in the UK and Ireland. Blue Tree Services was founded in 2005 and is focused on developing, manufacturing and distributing location systems, including the Blue Ranger Personal tracking and alarm unit and KoolTrax™ Mobile Tracking Software.
