2211 FreightWatch Security Net, a provider of embedded cargo and portable surveillance tracking solutions, has received FCC 47 CFR Part 15, Subpart B certification for its Geo F2 'Pill Bottle' location tracker, the first commercial-class 213 Qualcomm inGeo platform-based product.

The Geo F2 is an industrial strength, assisted-GPS tracking product incorporating Qualcomm QSC6055 module technology. With a small pig-tail battery option attached, it can be hidden in a pill bottle, or equally small enclosure, enabling a variety of new covert tracking solutions. With a large-capacity lithium-polymer battery option, the Geo F2 unit can also be deployed in rapid reporting, law enforcement surveillance situations or long-term (more than a year) remote asset location assurance applications.

Combined with the optional integrated Zigbee radio receiver, the Geo F2 becomes a remote, battery-powered sensor data collection and transmission platform.
