GPS CELL PHONE WITH SEXUAL PREDATOR ZONE ALERTS HELPS PARENTS KEEP TRACK OF LOVED ONES PDF Print E-mail
Written by CATS Communication   
Monday, 01 May 2006

IRVINE, CA - May 1, 2006 - Today's world is busier and unfortunately scarier than ever, but now CATS Communication, an Irvine, California based company, is making it easier to keep track of loved ones so families can have greater peace of mind.

Wonder Boy Foundation, an organization dedicated to educating kids and their families on protection techniques against predators, is proud to announce its endorsement of CATS Communication's latest development in family protection technology: CATTRAX(TM). CATTRAX(TM)(http://www.cattrax.us) is the most advanced "Location Based Service: that allows parents to keep track of loved ones through a GPS cell phone and even alerts them when their child is in a sexual predator zone.

Over 1 million children in the U.S. are reported missing each year. Another 270,000 are abducted by family members, and as many as 60,000 are abducted by non-family members. Add to that millions that are just not where they are supposed to be and that adds up to a lot of children unaccounted for by their parents.

CATTRAX(TM) has gathered a great deal of nationwide attention; it has been featured on "Geraldo at Large", "MSNBC Morning News" as well as local news stations on all major networks. CATTRAX(TM)is software that runs on a GPS cell phone and can be accessed on a computer, keeping track of a child's location in real time. The position of the child can be viewed on a map on a computer so parents can see where their child is in the neighborhood, how fast they are traveling and their approximate street address or latitude and longitude.

"I can watch every move my kids make," said David Cooper, CATS Communication field test specialist. "If Alyssa calls me and says she's home, I can look on the map on my computer at work and rest assured that she's safe, and if she wants to go out with her friends I can worry a little less, because I can check in whenever I need to. CATTRAX(TM)is a remarkable parenting tool!"

Lisa Millsap of Kansas City is particularly grateful for the Zone and Alerts feature on the CATTRAX(TM)phone, which notifies her if her child has traveled in or out of a designated area by sending her a text message, email or page. Lisa said," Matt was in a part of town he wasn't supposed to be in. We tracked him with CATTRAX(TM)and found him at a teen party. The computer told us the street address and we went to the house to pick him up. We avoided a lot of potential trouble that night."

In addition to affording parents incredible peace of mind by providing the most up to date information about their children, CATS Communication is also reaching out to customers interested in staying in touch with elderly parents and active recreational participants.

The CATTRAX(TM) service costs about $20.00 per month, in addition to the cell phone and phone service costs. It is currently only available through CATS Communication and can be ordered online at http://www.cattrax.us or by calling 1-877-229-CATS (2287).
