Chopper Expert Gives TracPlus the Thumbs-Up

01 July 2011

"Particularly useful". That's the way premier North American magazine Vertical, described TracPlus' tracking system in its June/July issue.

Vertical is regarded as the civil helicopter industry's "insider" publication, with stories and opinion by some of the leading voices in the industry.

In his article, highly experienced pilot and flight operations director David Leithner says, "TracPlus Global is a next-generation tracking service provider that integrates competing brands of tracking terminals, networks and software interfaces to offer seamless tracking across different platforms.

"Consequently, TracPlus's solution is particularly useful for government agencies that must regularly manage contracted air assets on large projects. However, even small operators benefit from the company's wide range of supported tracking equipment."

He went on to add, "The TracPlus solution is also scaleable, allowing operators to introduce new technology as budgets allow, as information from both old and new technologies can be viewed on the same screen. Plus, the company works with customers to identify the devices, networks and software that are ideal for their operations.

"TracPlus2 is the company's software solution; it features high-resolution maps, split screens and user-customizable trails. TracPlus2 also allows users to share their tracking with clients and others on an as-needed basis, simply by switching permissions on and off.

"Finally, TracPlus offers the handheld Shout nano, a pocket-sized satellite tracking device with two-way text messaging and distress alerting. It is said to be ideal for operators who may leave the vicinity of their aircraft for remote fieldwork."
