Latitude Technologies — Trust This Tracking...


Latitude Technologies Corp. has added a configurable “G” switch accelerometer to the UDG100 and S100/S200 SkyNode product lines. The configurable 6 axis accelerometer will have basic factory settings mirroring the common aircraft emergency locator transmitter but can be customized to user defined settings.

The technology marriage allows aircraft to be tracked from take-off through customized flight profiles to the exact geographic position of a gravity triggered event.  In the event of an emergency, a customized message can be sent via email through Latitude’s web-based Sentinel Service to stakeholders, emergency services or any other recipient designated by the customer’s system administrator.  In addition to latitude and longitude position information, the SkyNode products store up to 2 hours of high resolution data that can be used for accident cause analysis.
