Imagine if your car could communicate with you – tell you where it is,
where it’s been and how fast it’s going. Inilex®,
the industry-leading provider of intelligent telemetry solutions for
vehicle theft recovery, is putting this power into the hands of
consumers with SkyLINK
PROTECT, a Web-based service that reports on a car’s exact location
and speed, and allows users to set thresholds for both.
“SkyLINK PROTECT is about giving peace of mind to a car owner, family
member or business owner when someone else is driving their vehicle,”
said Inilex CEO Michael Maledon. “It reinforces safe driving habits and
enables owners to take corrective action, as needed, for the wellbeing
of their families and employees.”
The SkyLINK PROTECT service works in conjunction with SkyLINK
, a GPS-enabled vehicle theft recovery device available through new and
used car dealers, to provide real-time car monitoring services. With
SkyLINK PROTECT, an online dashboard accessible from any computer with
an Internet connection allows users to pinpoint the location of their
car on an intuitive map, view its speed and even check the battery
level. Historical reports can be generated within the dashboard or
exported to Excel.
SkyLINK PROTECT subscribers can also set multiple GeoFences, which
pre-define geographic perimeters that the vehicle is prohibited from
crossing. Alerts are sent via text or email to the car owner when the
GeoFence is breached. Similarly, speed limits can be established from
the online dashboard, and alerts sent when the car exceeds the
designated safe speed.
“With this service, we’re enabling SkyLINK owners to add another layer
of protection to their vehicles and for their passengers,” said Daphne
Herbst, director of sales for Inilex. “SkyLINK gives them the assurance
that their stolen vehicle will be recovered rapidly and, with the
addition of SkyLINK PROTECT, they can now keep a watchful eye on their
cars even when they’re not the ones behind the wheel.”
In addition to monitoring high-risk drivers, such as teenagers, SkyLINK
PROTECT is also useful for businesses that must track multiple vehicles.
For example, auto dealers can keep track of cars while they are being
test driven or used by employees. This ensures that cars are always
accounted for, and drivers testing the cars are abiding safety rules.
SkyLINK PROTECT is available as an add-on service to SkyLINK for only
$119 per year. Vehicle owners with SkyLINK can visit www.mysky-link.com
to sign up for the PROTECT service. Vehicle owners interested in
installing a SkyLINK theft-recovery device can contact their local
dealership.
