The company said it also expects to supply another 5,000 units worth $1.2 million – in the next few months, and it is negotiating with another larger client on a similar order.

GPS Guardian, based in Florida, specializes in monitoring and tracking the disabled and elderly. Founded by Marvin Reinberg and Zev Helfer, the company is a spin-off of an already successful medical initiative for the elderly.

Satelinx provides satellite-based vehicle tracking units that integrate GSM/GPS/GPRS wireless technologies and the Internet to deliver wireless tracking and location services.
