Mambo II GPS tracking with GSM and bluetooth

Falcom is a German company that specialize in wireless communication solutions. One of their consumer products is the new Mambo II, an advanced personal tracker. Mambo II is a quad-band GSM/GPRS phone that integrates a 20 channel low-power GPS receiver to meet your tracking needs.

It has a helix GPS antenna for to provide a better reception for the SiRF Star III chip and a powerful 1300mAh Li-Ion battery that lasts a looong time thanks to the 3D motion detector. It even has bluetooth so you can pair it up with your PDA or laptop to get navigation, or just in your vehicle to use your car’s speakers. Mambo II also complies with ZigBee for indoor tracking and communication with keyfobs. Another convenient feature is the fact that it recharges and transmits through mini-USB!

When Mambo II receives signals from at least 4 satellites it can determine its location, speed, and direction, and transmit this data to your current ISP - enabling you to follow your Mambo II from any PC using the Trace4You website in real time. The position of the device can also be received via SMS or e-mail upon request, and a geofence can be setup using the web interface.

We have no info on pricing or availability just yet.
