544 VeriLocation, a telematics company which currently tracks more than 10,000 devices and vehicles across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, has launched a new smaller trailer tracking device with a three-year battery life. The revised VL-Trailer uses GPS satellite tracking to fix its location anywhere in the world, and reports it once a day using mobile phone networks to send data. However, should a trailer the device is fitted to be stolen it can be remotely 'woken up' and will then communicate its location every few seconds on any computer connected to the internet.

All the components of the VLTrailer are installed in a selfcontained box, which is secured to the trailer chassis. It has no external aerials or wires and the device is IP-67-compliant and totally waterproof.
