Losing luggage while traveling from one place to another by air has become a common problem with a large number of people traveling every year. Trakdot has found a solution for this problem, as the company recently introduced its luggage tracker at the International CES 2013 that specifically targets air travellers, who are concerned about their belongings.
This little Trakdot luggage tracker can easily fit into a bag and immediately after that it starts reporting on a real-time basis about the location of the luggage to mobile device, so the owner can keep a track of his or her valuables no matter where they go.
The palm-sized tracker is extremely light in weight and provides city-specific information on the location of the checked bag, so if it fails to reach the right destination, the owner can still locate it with the help of real-time information on its whereabouts that he or she is receiving over their mobile device. This device can be connected with more than one mobile phone and can also have multiple devices connected to one phone.
However, to get the information of their baggage from this tracker, users first need to register themselves on the Trakdot website, after which they should place this device in their travel bag. The user will get information about their belongings on their mobile device through email or text message. Aside from this users can also locate their baggage through Trakdot’s website or by using its free application.
Talking about Trakdot the CEO of the company, Harry Steck, said that, “A recent passenger survey from the International Air Transport Association showed that 81% of travellers are interested in tracking their bags in real time. Trakdot Luggage empowers travellers to do just that, with a revolutionary product that is inexpensive as well as simple and convenient to use.”
The Trakdot device comes with batteries which power the tracker for two weeks. In addition to this, buyers of this tracker will also get luggage tag. People, who are interested in buying Trakdot will be able to get it in March this year after paying a price of $49.95 with an annual fee of $12.99 and activation charges of $8.99.
