Satelinx announced Aug. 28 the expansion of its research and development division.

Based on its success, Satelinx’s STS-Trakmate, bracelet-type/multi-purpose personal tracking and communication system encouraged the company’s investment into new technologies for expanding its existing product lines.

Sam Grinfeld, chairman of Satelinx Intl., said in a statement that the company is working “diligently to reduce the size and weight of our personal tracking device. Through our ongoing research and development we hope to achieve a tracking unit small enough to be hidden in a laptop computer, or any small expensive device. Our ultimate goal would be to develop a tracking unit so miniature it can be hidden in the smallest, undiscoverable area.”
