2012-02-06
hey so i'm here with dave vigil from snap tracks which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm and you guys are making dog tracking devices we're also here with Sam Sam who is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm and a so tell me what these things you know how do they work well it is a purpose-built dog pet tracking device and what you can do at any point in time is that if your dog for whatever reason gets away and you're alerted and your let known by either text or email or or on your app or on your email and your friends and family will also be notified when you when he leaves and gets out so you can go find him you've got apps for the phone that's right and and these guys just snap onto a call or you've got a little clip the traps i can go into a collar or harness right anywhere you can get the the clip on fire and we're going to lose our rina loosed and everywhere we're gonna take the scent and we act like we're launching we're gonna have to locate them goodbye Sam thank you for although them right so if this would have just happened and you were at your house the dog would leave your tags on that you've created around your house right you would get an email or you would get a text also friends and family that you've directed to get those would get the same thing and then it says to you at that point in time do you want to start tracking it do you want to start finding it or was it a regular get out a walk or that type of and how does it track it's using its usual criteria it's using the wireless network and it's taking GPS fixes and it's communicating back to you okay so it's basically taking all the state-of-the-art technology that you have in your cell phone that gives position locations and it's built into a purpose-built dog head how often is it pinging I mean how what are the intervals I'm you can you can control that when you're doing it when you're doing on demand locate you can just do it and repeatedly and it takes one to two minutes to bring back a new fresh fresh location we also have the tracking feature where when you push the button in every three minutes we'll give you a continuous track and send you back your locations okay and then it'll actually on our app you can actually get directions and driving directions to find out where you can manually pay it by now you can manage a day or two to get that's right that's what we're saying and we're being conservative when we tell you say that to people because it does take a while and it does say but some fixes are faster than others you know because it's basically just the same state of the art technology that's in mobile phones today is built into that pet tracking about yeah so as you can see Sam is moving down the street away from us yeah and then we can deliver an electrical shock on him so that we don't pick him up right well it's interesting we've had that idea given to us by a lot of people have you really yeah yeah leave you just start them a little i was joking it doesn't people get serious they remain serious because of a lot of people using the invisible fences which does the same sort of thing technique we've been in the market since october and we've already had about 10 rescues people are giving us their testimonies on our website and are you gonna expand this you guys were saying a dog for dogs 10 pounds and over you told me before we started filming I have a chihuahua right she's about 8 pounds right I mean probably work on her okay yeah we've seen that on our Facebook are you gonna do smaller versions for things like cats or gerbil maybe a hamster well a ferret I want to track I mean ferrets get out yeah there's a rabbit there's good I do this going to other end you see that we do see it going to other animals right now we believe we built this as small as we can possibly get with with getting the battery life that we need and making sure that it gets the coverage that right has because as the device as we've seen the device we have actually built the antennas into the device and and so we've done this to make it like make these are the antenna yeah and so it's just basic physics when you have 800 megahertz here that this is as small as you can get it right now today right you can be assured that when you're here on Qualcomm that we're working as best we can to reduce the size of these and will so be certain to bring it down the marking we can do it but right now you've got the state of the art and the lightest weight you can get on the market and it's a built purpose-built for the pet industry yeah yeah that's very cool okay thanks so much i can't really appreciate it yeah thank you you're a good dog
