– cell tower triangulation technology calculates the location
of the device based on the location of the nearby cell towers. Not very
accurate. Based on the location of the towers can be off by few miles.
Location tracking technologies
This means that If there is no 2G/3G cell coverage, the device may
know its location through GPS, but will not be able to communicate
it to iTraq platform.Please note that since your phone can use many
other technologies to connect (4G, CDMA, LTE) it is possible that
your phone will connect from the area, while Palette device will not.
Palette comes with global SIM card pre-installed. This SIM card works
in most countries (except Japan and Korea). Your subscription to iTraq
service includes global roaming and no extra fees required. Palette is
using 2G/3G cellular technology to communicate.
Connectivity
iTraq comes with 2000 location reports that have
expiration time of one month.
This means that once you will use 2000 location reports or one month after the
device activation, you will need to have a subscription to iTraq services to continue
to use iTraq.
T
The count of location reports and expiration time count starts from the moment
when you added iTraq to your mobile application (activated your iTraq) Annual
subscription: $59/year.
Monthly subscription: $5.9/month Subscriptions are non-refundable, so you will not
get the pro-rated refund if you will decide to stop using your iTraq and cancel your
subscription.
