Siemens - AySystem




Siemens introducing a pretty smart new tracking gadget - AySystem.

The new device is using the GSM - "transcendent" cellular network, and the GPS technology to provide online individual tracking and monitoring. Basically the device is attached to the person who needs monitoring (patient, child, employee) and once a specific pre-defined treshold is reached the device will provide local and remote alarm. The treshold defined is not limited only to location (i.e. geo-fencing) but can be based on additional parameters such as motion, temperature, sound, etc.



One additional cool thing about AySystem is that it's Java based device which means that real geeks can program into it some more advanced behaviors.

When is it supposed to be out is still a mystery to us but we hope that pretty soon we'll find the AySystem on the carriers catalogs.
