Quantum-Wireless caught up with Steve Moehling, the Vice President of Sales for LandAirSea Systems.
How do you distinguish yourself from other GPS tracking companies?
Since many GPS tracking applications require that that equipment is hidden, development and engineering standards are critical. Standard navigation equipment and/or handheld GPS devices are designed to operate in the open. Therefore, these devices have a clear view of the sky or even an antenna placed in an optimal location. LandAirSea customers demand that our products perform at a high standard even though they are installed in unconventional places. All LandAirSea products are developed under a stringent set of performance guidelines and are not launched until they meet our standards for sensitivity and efficiency. Many products on the market lack these sensitivity and efficiency standards.
What are some of the benefits of GPS tracking for a company?
There are many benefits companies receive from GPS tracking. These include employee productivity, job costing, fuel savings, dispatching, just to name a few. More elaborate systems allow inputs and outputs on the devices to control and/or monitor vehicle accessories such as door locks, door sensors, alarms, etc.
What is the difference between the 3100-INT and the 3100-EXT?
The only difference between the INT and EXT is the antenna configuration. INT (internal), EXT (external). Even though our devices are extremely sensitive, many customers desire to install the device in the engine compartment or trunk where the device would be surrounded by metal. Since this metal would block the GPS signal, the EXT provides the ability to run the antenna to an area where there is adequate reception. This antenna is very small and can be easily hidden.
What is your most popular device?
With more than 125,000 sold worldwide since 2006, the Tracking Key has become our most popular model. This is due to its size, reception quality, and strong magnet.
How popular is the GPS Teen Tracking?
This has been one of the fastest growing segments in our market. Statistics show that automobile accidents is the number one cause of teenage deaths. GPS tracking provides parents the ability to monitor the driving habits of their children. Although sometimes controversial to the teenager as an intrusion of privacy, parents look at it as a safety measure.
Are the devices easy to install?
All LandAirSea devices are designed for portability. Installation and removal is provided by a simple, high-performance magnet. Hard-wired devices provide a simple positive and negative connection.
LandAirSea has been manufacturing GPS tracking products since 1994 and has been at the forefront of this development since that time. In addition, all LandAirSea products are manufactured in the United States. Their corporate offices are located in Woodstock, IL which is approximately 50 miles northwest of Chicago. They also have satellite offices in Houston, Boston and San Diego.
