A low cost, high accuracy positioning system, which locates vehicles and other valuable assets, has been launched this week by HD Positions. The new solution, which works across the UK, with coverage inside buildings and containers, uses CPS's Matrix technology and is based on the Orange UK network. In response to increasing demand from the growing number of location based service providers, for a low cost, robust and easy to implement positioning solution, HD Positions supplies the interface to Matrix, and facilitates related Machine to Machine (M2M) services, including network connectivity, billing and support. One of the first complete solutions to use the Matrix system is that based around the ‘Boomerang Box’, a robustly constructed device, combining low installation cost and a two year battery life. This is one of the first developed devices beginning to appear which address a wide range of potential applications.  The use for such systems is considered enormous, extending to moveable assets which include amongst others, trailers, cars, motorcycles, caravans, and many other valuable assets. The first end user of the service is the Altrincham based Cartwright group, a leading provider in the UK of vehicle transport solutions. The company plans to install Matrix enabled Boomerang Boxes in their vehicles to meet customer demand for tracking and vehicle recovery. Last year, over 4,000 trailers were stolen across the UK, with associated goods taken totalling more than £1bn.
