Location Based Technologies, Inc., a provider of personal, pet and asset location devices, has received approval from KORE Telematics, AT&T's (News - Alert) Value Added Reseller of machine-to-machine regarding its completion and approval for both its PocketFinder and PetFinder devices.

"AT&T's network approval is a tremendous achievement and is the final milestone enabling the company to begin sales and delivery of product in the United States," said Dave Morse, CEO of Location Based Technologies. "With FCC (News - Alert), PTCRB, and AT&T approvals we have proven that our miniaturized personal locator technology is not only sound but that it is now ready for market."

The PocketFinder products are said to be small, single-board GSM/GPS devices that use advanced patented technology to help families and businesses stay connected. This personal locator due to its size fits easily into a pocket, purse or backpack while the vehicle devices are self-contained and easily installed. All devices can be accessed via the Internet, cell phone or landline to show the device's exact location in real time.

Moreover, these devices also allows users to designate customizable alert areas as electronic "fences" to notify them when a family member or pet enters or leaves a specified area. The devices can even track vehicle speeds to encourage safe driving decisions - especially for new or commercial drivers.

"Demand for this product is great," Morse clarified, "and we are pleased to be able to bring the PocketFinder and PetFinder to market, where it can address so many important needs and give people greater peace of mind for the safety of their loved ones and other valuable assets."
