AT&T’s ‘FiLIP’ a smart locator

AT&T* has an agreement with Amber Alert GPS to provide wireless connectivity for the Amber Alert GPS V3, a child tracking device that keeps parents notified of the current location of their children.

The V3 offers parents the ability to create “Zones” around their home, neighborhood, school, soccer field, etc., and receive an email or text alert whenever their child enters or exits a Zone. The V3 integrates its tracking with the National Sex Offender database, alerting parents when their child is within 500 feet of a registered sex offender’s home. The device has an SOS button children can activate to alert their parents if they need help and the parents can see exactly where their child is. Other features of the Amber Alert V3 include speed alerts, “bread-crumbing,” which shows where users have been at specified intervals during the day, and one-way voice monitoring.

The V3 device can be controlled through a computer or wireless phone and is integrated with a secure online portal that was created with parents in mind. It is easy to use, set alerts, and receive the information you need most. Amber Alert GPS tracking technology is now available on smartphones.

“Every parent wants to know their child is safe,” said Glenn Lurie, president of emerging devices, AT&T. “Embedding wireless connectivity into this tracking device equips parents with the ability to monitor and track the location of their children. This is innovation at its best – providing a solution and peace of mind.”

• FiLIP utilizes a patent-pending blend of GPS,
  Wi-Fi, and cellular technology from AT&T to
  provide accurate location information. Now you
  can see where your kids are, where they’ve been,
  and for how long, all from your smartphone, tablet,
  or computer.
• FiLIP can also make two-way voice calls thanks to a built-in speakerphone and the ability to create a contact list with up to five preprogrammed phone numbers. With the limited address book, parents can rest easy knowing that only those five numbers can call into (or be called out from) the device. Now your child has easy access to call you anytime, from virtually anywhere, with just a touch of a button.

A child can simply press and hold the emergency button to trigger an automatic location beacon, ambient sound recording, and a call (and SMS) to the primary number stored on FiLIP. If the primary contact does not answer, FiLIP will begin to call the remaining contacts one at a time until someone answers.
