The Tumi Global Locator will let you wirelessly track your bags
anywhere in the world.
The new gadget, demonstrated for the first time on Tuesday and due
to go on sale before the end of the year, has been developed by the
bag-maker in partnership with AT&T and LugTrack and is small
enough to fit to most items of luggage.
It uses GPS, GSM, wi-fi and Bluetooth in order to maintain a
connection with the supporting smartphone app and has the smarts to
know when it's on board an aircraft and therefore to power down and
cease transmission.
"In today's digital world of connected devices, smartphones, and
tablets, we saw a great opportunity to support consumers' desire to
remain connected to all parts of their lives, including their
luggage and bags they use day-to-day. We are excited to be working
with AT&T and LugTrack to bring this exciting new travel
solution to market," said TUMI's Chief Executive Officer and
President, Jerome Griffith.
