Based on the GSM/GPRS and state-of-the-art GPS technology for satellite navigation, Falcom has introduced a new portable tracking device for personal safety and asset monitoring. The Falcom Mambo is a Tri Band GSM/GPRS engine that works on the three frequencies GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz. The integrated GPS receiver architecture based on the SiRF starIII chipset provides precise location information using satellite signals to tracking anywhere in the world.

MAMBO55/56 product family has integral housing, compact design and ultra-low power consumption. It is of high quality and performance, and operates as a standalone unit ideally suited for personal security, asset management and automotive applications, among others. The Mambo consists of the GSM/GPRS engine, 20 channel GPS receiver, Bluetooth Class 2 for voice and data connection and a motion detector as an all-in-one solution. With configurable internal firmware superior hardware performance it is high on the list of applications where the fleet management and personal security today are required.

The Mambo also offers geofence features that can be used for territory management, route verification, prohibited locations, etc. Once a geofence is established, the unit automatically notifies via SMS, Voice or Data calls, if the person carrying it enters and/or leaves the predefined areas. In the event of an emergency, the person who carries the Mambo can activate it by pressing a touch button on the unit's surface. Upon activation it defines its position, and sends an SMS message with location information or performs a voice call to the predefined number via the GSM network. Based on the TCP/IP protocol, is also able to be monitored in realtime over the Internet or can send an e-mail to a predefined e-mail address.
