Qualcomm owned Snaptracs launches Tagg The Pet Tracker


Snaptracs announced the launch of Tagg The Pet Tracker,
an advanced pet tracking system equipped with GPS and wireless capabilities,
enables pets to stay in touch with their owners.


Tagg The Pet Tracker is the first product from Snaptracs,
a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm.  The Tagg pet
tracking system uses advanced GPS technology to enable pet owners to know where
their pets are and be notified if they wander off.  


Tagg provides peace of mind for any pet parent by
providing them access to their pet’s whereabouts via a mobile phone, mobile
device or computer.


Hundreds of thousands of pets go missing every year, and
according to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy, only 15
to 20 percent of lost dogs and only two percent of lost cats are ever returned
to their owners.  


Tagg
The Pet Tracker is a purpose-built solution that uses a sophisticated
combination of GPS and wireless technology to monitor a pet’s location and
quickly notify the owner via email and/or text if the pet leaves its Tagg zone,
the area where it spends most of its time – typically the home, yard and adjacent
areas.


The Tagg tracker is designed for dogs and cats over 10
lbs. and is a small, lightweight and durable device that attaches securely to
an existing collar.  Built to withstand all the running, digging and
jumping of a pet’s busy day, the tracker is meant to be worn at all times, even
while swimming.  


The long-lasting battery can last up to 30 days, but
actual battery life will vary based on usage patterns.  Convenient
features have been built into the compact, stylish and comfortable tracker,
including battery recharge notifications and a trip button, which allows pet
and owner to take walks, car rides or travel without sending an alert.


“We created Tagg because we understand that pets are
an important part of today’s family.  As pet owners ourselves, we were
inspired to design a purpose-built solution that provides owners the peace of
mind that their pet is where it is supposed to be,” said Dave Vigil,
president of Snaptracs.


“A lost pet is something no owner wants to
experience, and we are proud to have developed a simple-to-use and affordable
tracking system that will help reunite pet and owner quickly if the pet wanders
off.” Vigil added.


Tagg The Pet Tracker service is provided on the Verizon
Wireless network, giving pet parents reliable access to tracking information
via its nationwide coverage.
