GeoTraq Inc. announced the successful submission of a utility patent application to the USPTO. The patent application incorporates multiple claims to proprietary circuit design, firmware functionality, and software platform architecture that defines and supports Cell-ID modules. The company has successfully completed the design of their first product, the G-200 Cell-ID Module which is intended to work on 2G cellular networks.

The company will soon begin designing the G-300 Cell-ID module for use on 3G cellular networks. The patent application is applicable to any cellular network using any frequency bands such as GSM or CDMA. Using Cell-ID technology exclusively, GeoTraq provides lowest-cost solutions and service life that will enable new global markets for location-based services (LBS) using technology similar to what emergency 911 location systems use right now.

Products using Cell-ID will capitalize on basic delineators: long battery life, extremely small form factor, low deployment costs and it works indoors, unlike GPS.
