Mobile SMS-based tracking system Application description Cars and business vehicles are fitted with a spider unit, a hand-sized device, which uses a pre-programmed mobile phone-type SIM card installed alongside the engine. Alerts are sent to a specified mobile phone via an SMS message from the SIM card. Benefits We have merchandising info-team and have totally 9 cars in 3 cities of Turkey. Before the installation of Otomubul devices, we could never be totatlly sure about their exact places so that we could not control the teams directly at any moment. After the installation of the devices to the vehicles, we can now know their exact location at any moment with the help of the closest BTS that the device send signals to. This gives us both direct and indirect control of the teams as all members of the teams are well aware of the fact that their vehicles send continious messages to the center. So this is an additional benefit the SIM card responds to a specific mobile – and the system works while both the vehicle and the person monitoring it are on the move. According to us with large fleets of vehicles, more vehicles should be recovered in a usable condition.

I was affected by its functioning mechanism indeed as I heard of MobilArm from my friends for the first time. It was designed in a manner that does not require additional private safety patrol companies (meaning economy), a device that is superbly simple to operate, which gets to the point taking short cut.

I was further impressed from the fact that it employs GSM, a technology that is regarded as the most advanced available. Making it far more efficient than other alarm systems. I went ahead and immediately bought my self one. Installation was quite simple, too. I did it all by myself. I don’t need to carry a remote control key in my pocket like I have to do with other alarm systems. I can open it and close by using my cell phone. Doesn’t matter where I am; MobilArm gets to me. At first, friends used to enter the building first time in the morning doing so forgetting to shut off the device.

We were panicked a few times at beginning but this made us see and test what we must do. It’s also an honor to think that something marvelous like this has been first thought of by Turkish engineers. Now I’m more easygoing. I’ve been using it safely and in confidence for the past 8 months. I even told about it to my friends too. We all began protecting our jobsites with MobilArm starting from last week.
