Honey, have you seen my keys?


How many times have you misplaced your keys?  Have you put your iPAQ down and forgot where you put it?  Did you think you put your phone in a coat pocket only to find it was not there?  This has happened to all of us and there is a solution coming.....

 

 

 

Loc8tor Ltd will launch a revolutionary new product at CES 2006 in Las Vegas that ensures you’ll never mislay or lose any of your important possessions again.  loc8tor is the first product of its type on the market using James Bond style miniaturized tags as a homing device.

 

A loc8tor tale – a real life example of how it works

 

Emma Nichols suddenly realized: she had left her purse somewhere. But where? She had visited a number of shops on the High Street. As it turned out, it wasn’t a problem. Emma pressed a button on a small locating device in her coat pocket and within a few minutes, located her purse. There it was, in the dressing room of a shop. And she didn’t even have to open the door of the dressing room to know her purse was inside.   Emma had simply pressed a button on her loc8tor … the new electronic device that uses miniaturized tags to locate anything up to 500 feet.

 

The loc8tor Emma used to find her purse might also have found her keys, her handbag, or even warned her if her son started to wander off.

 

loc8tor has two modes: Locate lets you find any tagged item up to a range of 500 feet (150 metres) using directional, audio, visual and vibration technology, guiding you to within 1 inch (2.5cms) of your lost item. Alert prevents things from getting lost in the first place: when a tagged item moves out of your pre-set “safety zone”, loc8tor lets you know immediately what’s missing and can direct you to where it’s gone.

 

Completely portable, lightweight and easy to use, with tags similar in size to a postage stamp, loc8tor launches with two models in the range: The loc8tor pack is priced at $99.99 and helps you find mislaid items. The loc8tor Plus pack is priced at $169.99, includes both Locate and Alert modes and includes a panic tag that can be worn by a child, pet or dependent. For businesses an upgrade is available enabling the loc8tor to be used as an Asset Protection device. This enables staff to be warned if an attempt is made to remove items from the premises. 

 

In an increasingly cluttered and frantic world, loc8tor is a versatile product designed to help you find and indeed help stop you from losing your possessions in the first place. For young and old, for use at home or out and about, loc8tor can help prevent that all to often feeling of frustration we all to frequently get.

 

Loc8tor is dynamic UK based company that specialises in identifying, developing and launching new technologies and innovative products.  The Loc8tor technical team has a proven track record in research and product development in the communications, wireless asset tracking and aerospace sectors. Loc8tor owns / has developed significant intellectual property with unique patent pending features.  At the heart of the company is an emphasis on excellent product quality and customer service.

Use another loc8tor to locate it?
What if you misplace your Loc8tor?!?!?

Neat gizmo none-the-less.
