UAE (zawya.com) July 10, 2008 -- Many people prefer riding motorcycles for the efficiency it brings. For one, it is one of the best ways to avoid heavy traffic jams. Second, it is less costly to maintain and drive in terms of fuel usage. Also, it is a space saver and you can park it just about anywhere.

Whilst the list of the advantages of motorcycles can go on and on, current trends have shown the downside that it is more prone to theft than any other vehicle because it is small and open. It's obviously easier to steal a motor bike than a car or a van. Sekurus International LLC, manufacturer and supplier of GPS/GPRS Sekurtrack devices are providing motor cycle owners with the SekurTrack™ locators to counter the increasing number of thefts. Basel Al Salah, CEO of Sekurus International said “our solution is very cost effective as it allows motor cycle owners to be proactive in the location and recovery of locate their motor cycles when they have been stolen. Owners can also monitor the whereabouts of their motor cycles and automatically be made aware if the motor cycle is being moved without authorisation, this is resulting in Insurance companies starting to offer special rates to owners that have SekurTrack™ devices installed on their motor cycles”.

SekurTrack™ is a universal AVL and asset protection solution that provides the SekurTrack™ application with wireless GPS-based location and status information from motor cycles over different communications networks simultaneously. “The total solution offers motor cycle owners a unique and powerful answer to care for their property,” said Basel Al Salah. “We believe both existing and potential customers will find this fully integrated solution useful and attractive.

 The application displays geo-referenced icons on both the digital map screen and Google Earth map screen to show the real-time locations of motor cycles that have been equipped with SekurTrack™ devices.

 “The most important benefit that SekurTrack™ offers to Sekurus International clients is the ability to see the precise locations of their motor cycles in real time,” said Al Salah. “The methods by which motorcycles are stolen suggest that many physical prevention solutions have a limited impact on theft and that the Sekurtrack solution is more likely to be effective as any unauthorized displaced would be immediately alerted to the owner and the motor cycle would be located”.
