GTX, the developer of the gpVector module, a groundbreaking GPS/GSM/GPRS tracking solution offering a miniaturized product profile with exceptionally accurate and sensitive positioning awareness, has announced that the FCC has granted full certification for the device.

Now offering one of the smallest and lightest devices of its kind, GTX Corp is developing a comprehensive service offering for prospective licensees, centered on the first of its custom 2-Way GPS hardware solutions.

Attaining FCC certification for a non-cell phone product having wireless and GPS capabilities to be worn on or near the body is something of a rarity, as evidenced by the scarcity of such devices in the market place today. This certification will now set the stage for the rapid expansion of the GTX Corp GPS/PLS platform.

"We are very pleased that the gpVector module has received FCC approval," said Patrick Bertagna, CEO and president of GTX Corp.

"The challenges presented by the integration of cellular wireless and GPS technologies in a small, self-contained, battery powered package worn close to the body were significant, and our team should be proud of this achievement."

With user configurable tracking controls, quad band global GSM wireless connectivity, extended life lithium-ion batteries, and other proprietary technologies, this FCC certified module will lead the industry in features, price, and performance.

GTX Corp, headquartered in Los Angeles and having its technology center in Palo Alto, CA, is a publicly traded company. Cellular transmission services are provided by the company's wireless carrier partner, AT and T, to deliver real-time geographic coordinates, rendered on Google Maps, to subscribers via secure internet connections.

The gpVector location aware 2-Way GPS/PLS platform will be offered through licensing agreements to be announced with a variety of branded consumer product partners.
