MNX among first to collaborate for real-time GPS tracking offering
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27, 2012 -- GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO),
a leader in customizable, patented two-way GPS solutions, today
announced the approval of a custom designed GPS tracking device for use
on AirNet and Cargolux.
The custom configured device will be made available as an add-on service exclusively to customers of MNX,
a premium global provider of expedited transportation and logistics
services, to provide a new level of visibility and control for high
value and mission critical shipments.
"We have been working diligently with AirNet and Cargolux to gain the
necessary approvals to bring this one-of-a-kind offering to market. We
are very pleased to see this day finally come to fruition," said Patrick Bertagna,
GTX Corp Chairman and CEO. "Over the next few weeks we will work
closely with the MNX team to formulate a domestic and international
deployment strategy to introduce this offering to MNX customers around
the world."
Designed for customers that ship high value, time or temperature
sensitive materials, the technology is particularly well-suited for
customers in the life sciences industry. The GPS solution will bring
extra security to the most sensitive shipments, including the
transportation of items such as organs, blood, tissue, medications,
clinical trial samples and medical devices.
"The GTX Corp tracking platform gives us the ability to better
identify and resolve any unforeseen challenges throughout the entire
transport and gives our customers added confidence and peace of mind
that their shipment is secure at every step," said Scott Cannon,
MNX CEO. "By providing our clients with real-time tracking of their
shipments, MNX will offer an unmatched layer of service, security,
temperature integrity and reliability."
The GPS device transmits the latitude and longitude, speed, bearing,
altitude and temperature of the plane or vehicle carrying the shipment.
The device and GTX platform also provide an easy-to-use customer
interface with live shipment tracking and geo-fencing capabilities,
allowing customers to know exactly when their mission critical shipments
depart and arrive in key destinations. The GTX device is small and
light weight (comparable to the size of a standard garage door opener),
making it easy to insert in even the smallest packages.
"We realize the capability to track valuable shipments with such
detail is especially important to the life sciences industry, especially
as this industry continues to expand so rapidly," said Bertagna.
AirNet, a leading domestic specialty cargo airline specializing in life sciences transportation, and Cargolux,
one of the leading scheduled all-cargo airlines, were among the first
airlines to conduct a thorough testing process to certify the GTX
device, while MNX and GTX continue collaborating to expand the use of
the offering to other partner airlines.
