The 775 is a cost effective, compact vehicle tracking system for tracking and recovery of a vehicle via GSM LBS Triangulation with an onboard beacon transmitter for accurate vehicle location. To locate the vehicle the unit returns the GSM Cell-ID, LAC and RSSI of the nearest 7 GSM towers and has a “track” function where the unit will transmit the cell ID of every new tower it encounters (for a set period). It is also possible to program in “border” or “no-go” towers and if the unit comes into range of any of the 200 pre-programmed cell towers the unit will inform the control room. Once the vehicle area information has been received the vehicle can be tracked by activating the onboard beacon transmitter and the vehicle is then tracked by a DF receiver / antenna.

PFK Electronics launches a first in the international market.

As a by product of its culture of innovation and through the application of it's rich technological knowledge base, PFK Electronics is proud to announce the launch of the first ever wireless vehicle alcohol interlock (immobilizer) system. The system, named the ALCOWATCH ®, effectively satisfies the growing impetus by Swedish and other European public institutions to reduce alcohol induced automotive accident mortality. In its tradition of pioneering road safety, Sweden is leading such efforts via the drafting of legislation that stipulates the mandatory installation of alcohol interlocks in all vehicles in excess of three tons in weight.

PFK Electronics identified this niche market opportunity, and responded by launching the ALCOWATCH ®. This innovative immobilisation system has already captured a significant slice of this expanding market. Furthermore expressions of interest have been received from mature markets such as the USA, Canada and Australia, where similar road safety programmes have been in existence for a number of years.
