PlanetLink Communications Inc., a provider of satellite-based products and services announced today the launch of the field-testing phase for its PlanetTRAKS GPS product. Twelve PlanetTRAKS units will be installed on personal vehicles owned by people affiliated with PlanetLink and Karta Technologies, its technology development partner — 6 in San Antonio, Texas and 6 in the Atlanta area.
The testing phase, expected to last 2 to 4 weeks, is designed to allow the developers to fine tune the software using live, real-time data in real-world situations. Karta has had two PlanetTRAKS units in operation for the past 60 days as part of the development process.
"We are moving rapidly toward a market-ready product. This development process has taken us from concept to an operating product in just a few months thanks to our simple design and innovative technology," said M. Dewey Bain, president of PlanetLink Communications Inc. "We continue to focus on our objective of a commercial launch of PlanetTRAKS early this year."
