America News: MachineTalker® to acquire dynamic mapping software for global product tracking

MachineTalker, developer of smart wireless security networks and tracking systems, has reached an Agreement in Principal to acquire the rights to an interactive global mapping system that would allow customers to view Talkers® deployed throughout the world.

The MachineTalker units will be visible and accessible as overlays on a virtual map of the earth. Talkers located anywhere on the planet, and fitted with an array of sensors, will be selected, controlled and interrogated interactively.

“This software will interact with MachineTalkers in various applications, allowing a central control centre to maintain real-time access to information about cargo in transit or view Talkers that are monitoring and logging events,” said Roland Bryan, MachineTalker's CEO.

Icons representing Talkers will be selected, remote status viewed, data logs retrieved and a multitude of control activities can be modified.

The MachineTalker control integrates with existing mapping services currently provided on the web. It produces "handles" for the user that permit pictorial location and individual dialogue to take place with the specific Talker being viewed.

The company expects the blended software package with Talker demonstration systems to be available by June 2007.
