AT&T announced an asset tracking application for businesses and government agencies that is designed to monitor and report the location of portable assets in field operations such as machinery, equipment, containers and vehicles using GPS.

The service is delivered as software-as-a-service (Saas) and includes a portable GPS tracking device that can be installed by field personnel and attached to a variety of assets. Companies can use a web-based reporting portal to determine location information.

"We developed TeleNav Asset Tracker to provide organizations of any size, across any industry, with asset location information that management can access from virtually anywhere at any time via the Web," said Sal Dhanani, co-founder and vice president, products and marketing, for TeleNav.
