ActiveTrak, the company that makes advanced theft recovery software for consumer and business devices, will be unveiling its new GadgetTrak Mobile Security software for Android at the upcoming CTIA Wireless 2010 in Las Vegas.
Touted to provide the “most advanced data protection and theft recovery solutions for smartphones,” the new application/service allows users to track devices when they are lost or stolen, as well as ensure that data is protected by enabling remote data wipe and scheduled data backup of critical information. The software is installed and administered from a simple web-based control panel, so when God forbid something happens, you simply log into your account and activate features to track and remotely wipe data, as well as download backed up data. Moreover, if you want so, it can trigger a remote ping that initiates a loud noise from the smartphone, even if it is in silent mode.
ActiveTrak relies on a combination of methods to determine the smartphone location — including GPS, WiFi positioning and/or cell tower triangulation. You can schedule daily or weekly backups of data, and eventually sign to be notified when SIM card is changed… Additional information is available from ActiveTrak’s website.
