Omniscout Introduces Two New GPRS/GPS Portable Devices at V-Twin Expo

Omniscout Portable and Portable Pro Now Available

PHOENIX, Feb. 7 -- Omniscout, a division of WorldScout Corporation of Phoenix, AZ, recently launched the Omniscout Portable and Portable Pro GPRS/GPS devices at V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati, OH.

The two models are the most sophisticated and effective monitoring and tracking devices on the market today. Equal in size to a small cell phone and weighing only 80 gr/2.8 ounces, they can be easily hidden in a vehicle or on a person.

Both devices will determine and report the global location of any mobile asset, vehicle, or person where the Omniscout device is located with an accuracy of a few meters. The devices are a hybrid of two technologies, the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GSM/GPRS wireless communications network, which enables them to communicate a location and receive commands using the international (GSM/GPRS) wireless networks, used by most of the world's cellular communications companies.

With a suggested retail price starting at (US) $499., both Omniscout models are available immediately at selected motorcycle dealers in the United States and Canada.

Products are available to media/analysts for evaluation from The Communications Group Inc., at 1-800-267-4476 ext. 36 or 23.

"Motorcycle enthusiasts make significant investments in their bikes, from specialized chrome accessories, unique paint jobs to upgraded parts, which can cost in the tens of thousands dollars," says Robert Metz, President of Worldscout Corporation. "The Omniscout Portable and Portable Pro give users an added degree of comfort because the system will immediately alert and notify the owner if it is being stolen or even moved without authorization."

The motorcycle and RV market -- which includes motor homes, snowmobiles, watercraft, ATVs, and sport boats -- is quickly becoming the most frequently stolen in North America. In fact, 75,000 motorcycles are reported stolen each year in North America.

The Omniscout Portable and Portable Pro give motorcycle owners a way to protect their investments and fight back. Most similar devices suffer from an inherited GPS limitation where the satellite signal can be detected only if there is a clear view to the sky. The Omniscout Portable and Portable Pro use a sophisticated Assisted GPS (AGPS) system supported by Worldscout's proprietary, patent pending unique Adaptive Assisted GPS (AAGPS), enabling them to communicate with the GPS satellites to obtain the exact location of the device without a clear view of the sky, even from inside buildings.

Unlike passive theft prevention devices, the two new devices act independently to notify users about vehicle whereabouts -- every movement can be easily tracked and monitored. GPS location on demand, real time tracking, street level mapping, cellular connectivity and the most advanced geo fencing, remote controlling and monitoring functions are all available. Additional features of the omniscout Portable Pro system include: enhanced functionality including greater tracking options, speed alerts, geo fencing, AC, 12 volt Car and USB Charger, and Three Year Warranty with Accidental Damage Protection.
