MNX among first to collaborate for
real-time GPS tracking offering
Los Angeles, November 27, 2012 – GTX Corp (OTCBB: GTXO), a leader in
customizable, patented two-way GPS solutions, today announced the approval of a
custom designed GPS tracking device for use on AirNet and Cargolux.
The custom configured
device will be made available as an add-on service exclusively to customers of MNX, a premium global
provider of expedited transportation and logistics services, to provide a new
level of visibility and control for high value and mission critical shipments.
“We have been working diligently with AirNet and Cargolux to gain the
necessary approvals to bring this one-of-a-kind offering to market. We are very
pleased to see this day finally come to fruition,” said Patrick Bertagna, GTX
Corp Chairman and CEO. “Over the next few weeks we will work closely with the
MNX team to formulate a domestic and international deployment strategy to
introduce this offering to MNX customers around the world.”
Designed for customers that ship high value, time or temperature
sensitive materials, the technology is particularly well-suited for customers
in the life sciences industry. The GPS solution will bring extra security to
the most sensitive shipments, including the transportation of items such as
organs, blood, tissue, medications, clinical trial samples and medical devices.
“The GTX Corp tracking platform gives us the ability to better identify
and resolve any unforeseen challenges throughout the entire transport and gives
our customers added
confidence and peace of mind that their shipment is secure at every step,” said
Scott Cannon, MNX CEO. “By providing our clients with real-time tracking of
their shipments, MNX will offer an unmatched layer of service, security,
temperature integrity and reliability.”
The GPS device transmits the latitude and longitude, speed, bearing,
altitude and temperature of the plane or vehicle carrying the shipment. The
device and GTX platform also provide an easy-to-use customer interface with
live shipment tracking and geo-fencing capabilities, allowing customers to know
exactly when their mission critical shipments depart and arrive in key
destinations. The GTX device is small and light weight (comparable to the size
of a standard garage door opener), making it easy to insert in even the
smallest packages.
“We realize the capability to track valuable shipments with such detail
is especially important to the life sciences industry, especially as this
industry continues to expand so rapidly,” said Bertagna.
AirNet, a leading domestic specialty cargo airline specializing
in life sciences transportation, and Cargolux, one of the leading scheduled all-cargo
airlines, were among the first airlines to conduct a thorough testing process
to certify the GTX device, while MNX and GTX continue collaborating to expand
the use of the offering to other partner airlines.
