Pegasus Mobile Phone and Online Tracking System

Bartec (Germany) has launched a new mobile phone Pegasus for use in hazardous areas, designed especially for the use in rough industrial environments; the oil and gas sector or in refineries. The high protection type IP 65 and the use at ambient temperatures between -20°C and 60°C enables the user to work even under extreme ambient conditions.

The keyboard has been designed so that it can easily be used, even with gloves. All keys as well as the alphanumerical keys have a tactile feedback. The Oled full colour display can easily be read even under poor light conditions. A highly efficient rechargeable Li-polymer battery makes sure there is enough capacity. The integrated loudspeaker offers the user a comfortable hands-free speaking function during activities where both hands are needed. Besides, Pegasus has a vibration function so that no call is missed even in noisy environments. In addition to the phone function, text messages can be sent and received.

Pegasus is available in different models and is the optimal mobile phone for every region and field of application. It is equipped with a quadband GSM module (850/900/1800/1900 MHz). It can be used all over the world and the American continent is ensured by it.

Pegasus has an optional man down sensor and in some fields of activity an increased occupational safety of employees has to be guaranteed. The integrated sensor (motion detection) reacts to immobility. At the end of a definable time span, an online alarm is triggered. To avoid a transmission via SMS, which might take too long, the alarm can be transmitted immediately to a server via GPRS or TCP/IP. In addition, the mobile phone is located via GPS. With a scalable map, the last recorded location can be graphically displayed. The alarm including the GPS position data can also be transmitted as text message or as a spoken phone message.

Due to the integrated GPS receiver and the sophisticated software, Pegasus can be used for professional online tracking. For this purpose, Bartec supplies a server through which customers with a licence have an individual access to their area. Bartec also offers optional solutions for customers who need to have their data on a separate server. The Pegasus tracking software can synchronise, analyse and store the GPS data. Data acquisition is also possible in real time. Via the history function, it is possible to track a route on the map and to store it. Pegasus is recommended to enterprises with a vehicle fleet (e.g. dangerous goods vehicles), and is cost effective.
