In a bid to assist various security agencies tackle issues of insecurity in the country, Fastanet Ltd, an NCC licenced GPS tracking service provider has launched a new high-end tracking device known as Fastanet 1.
The new cyber software which took the company two years to assemble, is a robust and versatile server platform essentially for telematics solutions which involves human and vehicle tracking, fleet management and other machine to machine communications.

The server project secures not only vehicles, but tracks a whole rang of phones and tablets including Androids, Phones, iPhones, Blackberry, windows as well as pets, humans, goods on transit, objects that are not mobile such as billboards, containers in the high sea and trains. And to beat the negative effect of inadequate power supply, the software depends on solar system to locate items being tracked across the globe.

Fastanet Chief Executive Officer, Olisa Anele, explained that the urge to support the government in their own little way to end cases of kidnapping, insecurity in general, informed launch of the software which is already helping police to carry out rescue of kidnapped victims, adding that “The company is collaborating with the police, Federal Road Safety, Standard Organisation etc to ensure safety of lives and properties of the people.
In other words, Fastanet 1 is an affordable and advance cyber platform added to the tracking business to ensure Nigerians enjoy value for their investment and also stay safe or be rescued when in troubled.”

“Fastanet 1 does more than simply tracking vehicles, it is launched in response to the teeming security challenges faced by Nigerians and law enforcement agencies on a daily basis. The telematics solutions inform the police of the whereabouts of kidnapped victims and the kidnappers. The new method now used by kidnappers is to use their victims cell phones to reach out for ransom so as not to be tracked but with Fastanet 1, in the victims device, the police are able to arrest them.

Also, telematics solutions inform users about drivers' behaviours, time to service the vehicle, the temperature of engine, gives accurate fuel consumption with the price of fuel bought or used etc.

At the moment, Fastanet is providing Abuja railway line with tracking devices to avoid accident with the use of hybrid devices.” He said.
