that alarms you if your Locator is moved outside of your defined area.
You can call and send messages to Locator for
its updated position at any time. Additionally,
by making a voice call, you can also listen to
what happens nearby the device.
TWIG Locator is a GSM-device with in-built
GPS-positioning and support for MPTP commands. It can be used with any corresponding
