The Loc8tor is a combination of radio-frequency emitting tags
and a cellphone-sized signal decoder. Both tags and handheld
transmit and receive radio signals. Each handheld device can
monitor up to 24 tags, which can be attached to keys, kids,
pets and anything else of value that has a tendency to get
lost. When registering new tags, users can specify what they
will be attached to: 'Wallet', 'Favourite child', 'Prize-winning
Poodle', etc.
The system has a maximum range of 183 meters/600 feet, and
the handheld will guide its holder to within 2.5 cm/1 inch
of the lost possession, using fully directional signals: left,
right, up and down. (Particularly useful when kitty-cat is
hiding in the attic.)
Not just for finding things, Loc8tor's alert mode also makes
it easy to prevent them from becoming lost. Attach a tag to
a child, and then set a safety zone. If the child strays beyond
a specified distance, the Loc8tor sounds an alarm. The panic
tag also acts as an alarm button that a tagged child can press
to activate an alert on the Loc8tor. Obviously, as stated
by Loc8tor, this isn't a replacement for parental supervision.

For business purposes, Loc8tor offers an asset protection
system, which can monitor up to 6,000 tags. Suggested use
includes monitoring keys within a building and tagging items
considered vulnerable to theft: laptops, cellphones and warehouse
stock.
