New Features of Mobile Phone and Online Tracking System for Industrial Applications

PEGASUS, the new mobile phone and online tracking system developed by BARTEC (Germany), was especially designed for industrial applications. With its rugged design and high protection class IP 65, it is ideally suited for use at operating temperatures of -20°C to 60°C in the chemical industries as well as in the oil and gas sectors. Certified according to ATEX, IECEX, UL and INMETRO, this innovative further development is especially suitable for potentially explosive atmospheres in the IIC Gas Group.

PEGASUS ensures protection in extreme operating areas: GPS receivers and special software make PEGASUS an efficient online tracking system, facilitating new options for personal security, hazardous materials transporters and other logistical tasks. PEGASUS data can be stored and evaluated on an in-house server, or a dedicated BARTEC server. The man down function reacts to the absence of movement and triggers an alarm after a defined period of time. The device is located using GPS. The alarm including the GPS position data can be forwarded as a text message, link to the position or via GPRS to a server. For lone workers, this function is particularly valuable. A freely programmable emergency call button provides added safety in case of an emergency. Workplace safety is the keyword where simultaneous working and phoning are concerned. With a suitable Bluetooth headset, talking on the phone becomes possible even while doing activities that require two hands. PEGASUS also features a hands-free function and vibrator alert.

The keyboard is generously dimensioned and offers enough space for steady operation, even with gloves. To prevent operating errors, all keys give tactile feedback in the form of a click. The straightforward and clearly structured menu design makes operation simple for the user.

The mobile phone is available in several versions to offer the optimum device for all applications and operational areas. With a Quad Band GSM module (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), the device is ideally equipped for utilisation on all continents.
