The Luggage Locator

This is the device that helps travelers find lost or missing luggage. About the size of a deck of cards, the locator is placed inside a suitcase and uses GSM technology (Global System for Mobile communications) to narrow down the location of a misplaced bag to a city or airport. A SIM card inside the device sends signals to cell phone towers, enabling an app to locate and display a luggage’s whereabouts on a digital map. A patented triaxial accelerometer in the device deactivates its signal during take off and reactivates it upon landing. The locator also connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth and sends an alert when the luggage is within 80', helping ease baggage claim anxiety. Powered by a Lithium-ion battery that provides up to 15 days of operation from an 8-12 hour charge using the included USB cable or AC adapter.
