Automotive Capital Group, a marketer of wireless GPS security technology and services, last Friday (July 30) announced an immediate Anti-Terrorism Program that is available for $120 per year including the GPS unit.

The company's goal is to become one of the market leaders in the transportation safety and security industry. Automotive Capital Group, Inc. believes it has a powerful GPS tool that currently has over 1,000 units currently in service.

Navicom has the ability to locate any truck in 98% of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico that carries the locator. Additional features also include a panic button that can immediately notify dispatch via fax, phone, email, or text messaging.

Navicom can disable a truck from starting through the Internet with a click of the mouse in case of hijacking or theft. Navicom can also create a geographic fence to notify dispatch if a truck is somewhere it shouldn't be. The systems can also remotely send data logging and reporting. Navicom normally charges $399.99 for the unit then a reoccurring monthly fee.

Navicom also produces a portable wireless GPS unit that can last 10 days on a battery. This unit is compact in size and can also report its location in 98% of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Navicom believes it is one of the only companies offering a GPS product with such a long battery life.

The portable unit can easily fit in a glove compartment or under the seat to stay hidden from view. This unit can be used by companies that don't always need GPS tracking installed but want it on some hauls.
