Hum.... I smell bullshit. FCC/PTCRB Aproved
https://ir.spyr.com/press-releases/2022/geotraq-s-tracker-module-gt-tm100-is-fcc-approved-and-ready-for-market
The number provides dosen't seam to follow the correct format for the fcc numbers that would make sense.
Also this is there like 8th entry into the db so you woudl assume it would be attached to this. https://apps.fcc.gov/coresWeb/searchDetail.do?frn=0031809395
Don't lite him on fire or next you will get,
His next scam will be called FireTraq. With a "patent pending" way to use heat every thing instantly with a small coin cell battery. So Invest in world-class technology and leverage our core competencies. With cross-platform innovation. Networking soon will bring seamless integration Robust and scalable, bleeding-edge and next-generation Best of breed We'll succeed In achieving globalization
Yeah, he has a NDA with Greg because he wanted to do a large public trial run before other competitions copys the idea.
Massive Sarcasm "Because Greg would never steal content from other people..."
Except for the previouse website, and the leads list that almost got him banned from linked from scraping data. Then later spamming/telemarketing that data.
This is a foggy memory but, greg once said something about taking loan with ARCI that he was some how personal responsible for part of the funding.
I have never found out if this was true or or another lie so take it with a grain of salt. Maybe that part of the stock shares stuff i don't know.
Yeah, I brought up to him when I first skimmed this thing, witch was probably one of the rejected versions. Is he truly belied he is the only one to think of power saving in a cell phone. And dosen't aknolage that pretty much every dam cell chipset is going to be extremely power sensitive, because as we all know cell phone want to have a small a battery as possible.
And without giving away and "trade secrets" of how it was implemented I can tell you the g-200 used a crude and what I will call an idiotic solution to a non issue.
To put in simple turns its like connecting a fancy wifi Enabled light switch to night light. It solves the issue of the light being on and "wasting power" but the fancy light switch uses more energy than just leaving the night light running all the time. Effectually making it worse and convoluted.
yeah they dont seam to get the whole you have to accely apply to have a pending patent.

It would also be great to see FCC also confiscate the modals on top of everything the PR spin on that would be really funny.
Also it was all over SMS to ClickaTell.
It was via a provider called Podsim witch i was told was a tmobile resell er. Check the 2g tower near the office listed for geotraq. Sorry dont have the tower code in my memory.
Sent you the sim phone and imeis have fun...
Spreadsheet was created on Created 18 May 2018 so look about a week before and after.

And this is a license spectrum not unlicensed. So there is far more documents/testing to be done, lets just say its long enofe you don't wont to print it out, and its chock full of industry jargon.
Oh yeah I am well aware... Greg and to a lesser degree the cto who has a mobile provided back ground should have known better and not forced it.
The interesting bit is that pdf they released just proved they broke more than a few fcc as well as gsm/carrier rules.
For others here is the minimum for a "unlicensed" wireless product this is before you even get into the gsm stuff.

I think greag's only reason for doing that was to show his modem has an imei that says geotraq on the look up databases.
I find it funny that dam website there were endless meeting about that for months. Till shannon shut it down... clearly Greg has taken over contole and is still screwing with it, am sure if you look up iot company you will find one of them has there home page copied and geotraq logo added.
Also all thous picture on the site are all "client" ideas for uses cases that he has a nda on a few of them for so...
Ah so they finaly used that picture...
https://geotraq.com/download/2747/
Ah that was a great moment when it was required to point out to greg that battery size required to have a chance in hell of working. Greg was showing every one a small(about size of modual) 10-50mah battery that he claimed would power it for months... It would not boot it once in reality.
"Traveling around the US, over to Hong
Kong, and back, GO PUCK was able
to track their device as they desired. "
Haha that is great hears what really happen...Yeah that failed miserably it failed multiple times because code hit deadends + hardware faults. And when we finally got approval to go thought he code to find out it was not doing any triangulation just displaying cell towers you were currently connected too.
That pic you see there is from or very small scale (hence double stick tape)test run, we had about 7 modules we took around las Vegas it failed badly about a 70%+ failure after leaving office. The "Working" ones tracked you to a radius of 10 city blocks and sometimes not even in the circle it should be.
So as you can tell definitely a market ready product...
Side note: (predicting the future)
I just cant wait till after they launches with another company pre approved modal and claims/hides the fact its not. You know until you search that fcc/ul/etc number up.
Also heads up,
The possible next scam might be hiring now. There was a bunch of jobs posted a few weeks ago. I was tempted until i saw live ventures and tony name...
https://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=Network%20Administrator&l=Las%20Vegas%2C%20NV&radius=50&ts=1542056896373&rq=1&fromage=last&vjk=04220621d4fb376c

They have freshly prepared bullshit. Coming out of the PR firm.
YOU might be surprised... Greg seams to be under the impression that all it takes to be a good bissness owner is to collect bissness cards. I am not kidding when I say he had a stack of 1000s that few if any he has had direct contact with. And he just hands pple one of the manny stacks and say one of theses will solve the issue.
ON the week before everyone was layed off he went to one of the wireless convetions and brought back i woudl estimate 100-200 cards. IF hes there he will be hovering around the service providers or hardware IOT booths.
Also to add on the methods used for 4g is going to be vastly different, than 2/3G or it will use gps like every other simmaler commercial device.
Should be easy to find... go on alibaba / global souses and find the cheapest iot cellular module. Last I heard it involved the MediaTek MT6516 chip.
"On things like trying to "listen" to the towers at below -100dBm. That is some of the things I wanted to personally fly to vegas and kick the crap out of him."
haha, ah good it wasen't just me. ITs just amusing how much of his technical crap could be debunked with really simple proof of concepts.
Also anyone who dosent believe ether me or
Principal you can test your self. Drop your phone to 2g mode if it has it.
Download this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite&hl=en_US
You want to click raw and grab most of ther info for each tower. For added fun watch what happens to your battery when you run this app.
pop the info you get into the api hear.
https://combain.com/
Congratulation you now have geolocation as good as it can get.
Ment to:" say
Juan is some how related to tony
Thickens the plot a bit.
"Thing I noticed fast with gregg is you would give him technical knowledge and then he had a knack for telling things back to you days later as if he was some genius. "
Oh yes OK STORY TIME.
So greag was talking to explain that a api and your backend app were to completely unrelated things. The api is only that word document and is unrelated. The 2 developers were getting really pissed because it took him 3days to get it per june before we finaly got permison to dig into it. (Remember this a a person that supposedly launched tech projects before)
Another unrelated story is he was having a conversation with a few others after that first meet up. About he and he alone invented the "perpetual motion machine" when he was a kid. He was talking to 2 clearly clueless people. I relly dont understand why someone every bring something like that up clearly you have a very little understand of engineering and physics.
______________________________________________________________________
"Who is Juan Yunis"
Juan is related some how to tony I think... and was one of the initial investors when geotraq was restarted this year. And we asked as a favor to help with this somehow. He did a rewrite of api/platform proof of concept that was shown to investors. After greg made enemys with some russian guy named roman whos team built the itraq platform and sold the device. (Witch did the same thing as geotraq but guess what... it had a GPS in it. (Witch greg never really would admit to when we were working on the cell id crap it was just well this plastic thing i am holding worked 3 years ago.)
Oh and juans perfect (greg said) platform we had to get going with no documentation with is understandable when he said he wrote it in about a week. I think he is just stuck in the middle of this bs. But he also should have pointed out to tony that hey this thing only displays one tower with would never work for triangulation. Might have been he just trusted greg was right though so.
______________________________________________________________________
"The only claim is low power consumption ?
So what good is that patent for ?
My guess is that original claims had to be dropped as they would be denied, end they ended up with a meaningless patent application "
I think that as well I will say this again to how naive greg is, does anyone really think any cell phone chip mfg will no do everything in there power to reduce power consumption out of the box. And the way the modal saved power was a overly convoluted way of putting the chip to sleep with an external hardware trigger again nothing really ground breaking. If anything it was a bit stupid because the chip had that functionality in software.
It was beleved by greg that you could make the location persiosn better by just listing to more towers even if they were below the -128db
(or what ever the min for cell tower reconisons is) threshold. If you have ever messed with rf, you will know in the city your noise floor is going to be higher so you could not do this even if you tried.
So hears an inside recap of what went on. (might be a good sticky)
We were finally able to work on backend because Greg expertly designed system was crash happy. So we start digging into firmware/backend. And discover the sms was something along theses lines "|SMS-number|cellID|loc|rx|etc" The cell id stuff. Basically one tower of data the issue with this is with this kinda data you can tell what city the modal is in and thats about it.
This is what he sold to investors, because he could show dots on the map but no one checked that the size of thous dots was the size of a city. IN a nut shell the location tracking was showing you where the tower you modem was connected to was not where the device is.
So in june we started testing by sending 3-6 towers worth of info back and debugging why theses dam modals are crashing after a day or 2. Lots of dead end code that leads to infinite loops(a crash) who ever programmed it had no idea hot to program enbeded stuff it showed.
PROGRAMER SIDE NOTE-------------------
You know it will be bad when all the watchdog timers are disabled first few lines of the code... and boolenas being defined as char arrays aka. the words True and False.
For non programmers lots of very newbie mistakes.
--------------------------------------
Basically from scratch we made a proof of concept that should have been done long ago using a third party db of tower locations.
So BEST CASE you can get down to about a 1-3 city blocks(location dependent), but... it can not be trusted because of how few towers you have and the fact the networks are condensing a lot of them and changing the locations making triangulation very unreliable. So your real location could very very likely be outside the 1-3 block accuracy. Its kinda like thous CSI shows where they enhances a fuzzy image in the real world you simple cant do that because you have no ware near enofe precision/resolution in your measurements.
Also @ Principian are you the guy that told greg about how you wanted one because you could tack more data into the sms message, by useign the other hidden fields.
Just curious because I remember Greg talking about that.
"FYI, i won’t discount your due diligence work but What if it was filed through the private system?
IMO it May be the reason your search is coming back empty. "
I have had the patent in my hand its about 4 years old and has never been filed its just the initial draft from a patent attorney. There was also never a electric copy of it anywhere greg kept it very close. And when we finally got access to it it was super vauge and was basicy a low powered cell device. No mention of location tracking or anything cell id related.
Note the words in that 8K as to "being informed". Informed by whom? Certainly not the USPTO. This is not a required disclosure by any means. Its not a Material Event as described by the Sec Rules. Pay close attention to the wording.
As well, one glaring thing that hasnt happened here with geotraq, is they havent even opened up a Registration with the FCC. And you would think they would have gotten that done months ago. They turn on these radio devices and start broadcasting in Licensed Spectrum, they are Screwed.
Yeah we were told "not to worry" about that because greg has registered imei numbers. There was about 10 of them active on t-mobiles network around may-june.
They have never completed any FCC or emi etc testing as of june, And they were super finicky about power supply so I don't think there would pass any emi testing to be honest.
After close review of the Hardware, the G-200 is a Knockoff of a Reference Design from MediaTek. The MediaTek chipset is a standard low cost solution for a wide range of Cellullar Modem Products. The CellID in the Protocol Messaging is the location of the Cell Tower, not the device. Triangulation from the Towers is not performed as a User Defined Application. It is only done for Law Enforcement and Emergency Services.
Also the firmware was based on mediateks SDk that is only supposed to be used with there modules for predictable dam reasons. And the geotraq code was basically an app running on top of it.
From experience I can translate.
"Mr. Sullivan is a high technology industry entrepreneur and technologist who has founded or co-founded over two dozen companies. He’s a seasoned executive and financial adviser to entrepreneurs and early stage enterprises with extensive experience in start up and entrepreneurial operations as well as operational experience in a diverse range of businesses.
"
Greg is great at buying domain names 24+ and selling theses expertly designed(stolen from a related site) WordPress templates to others. Also comes with our "patented" no support package because we pissed off all the previous devs(aka: lowest bidders) by trying to pit them against each other.
Yeah I think the coo was just so greg wasen't the only signature on the stock paperwork could be wrong but thats just an opinion. So when he eventually gets sued he can claim it wasen't his fault.
That was some more internal white lies. That carrier in a small Texas town, was more expensive 4x if mem serves for ussd access than data or txt messages from a t-mobile bulk re-seller. So it was a dead end.
I think I know who you talked too that was some more internal white lies. That carrier in a small Texas town, was more expensive 4x than data or txt messages from a t-mobile bulk reseller. So it was a dead end.
Have fun... Hear they go again.

Hint if you want to find greag show up 20min early or late. He may still be int he office instead of hiding.
Thats a really good question i really don't know where that vaulation came from.
Info on Geotraq employees:
Just saw a PM I can respond because i don't want to buy a subscription to this board
So as it stands right now
Gregg ceo (well you guys can fill that in)
Shannon coo (In charge of expanding the comapny)
____________________________________________________
made a few good decison early one when she was allowed to do her job, pushed for removal of things that waste't money videos being the biggest example. Then gregg started intervening. So i don't think she does mutch now. She also seams to do a lot of putting out fires between the cto and ceo as both had very difrent ideas on how things work.
For example greg thinks you can have 4 teams working on stuff that needs to work together with no comunication between teams That you can just make it all work after the fact with no project planning. cto however wanted to start with planning things out and starting things in order. You little things like making sure the dam modal worked before announcing the releases date.
Pierre cto (In charge of contracting out the new 3g 4g upgrade)
______________________________________________________
He originally was doing outreach / tella-marketing and i am not sure he can accomplish this task because of little low level hardware experience. Based on the fiasco of the 2g modual Gregg created with simmer experience.
Tiffany ? (Videos / accounting)
videos were stooped because the coo showed they were pointless and a waste of money.
______________________________________________________
There are also 2 fake employees you may have talked too one of the names is
Heidi Simmons the other one I don't remember. You might find them on linkedin searching you can tell because there 30-40 years of age with no job history and info graphics from geotraq. Honestly threes probably more as Greggs linked in is on its last strike for abuse.
Did you know scraping emails from linked in for your mass mailing (rumor but after seeing the list it seams right) list might be a bad idea?
Also I also ask with the acceptation of greg can we try not to to refer to everyone by full names.(easily google able) Most of them are really not at fault for this and it would be good if it would not follow them around.
PS:Oh also scavenger hunt, theirs also a rumored fcc or ftc complaint fine against gregg / geotraq i haven't been ale to find. It was on a balance sheet greg showed everyone...
But i see why you guys brought it us as greg has said for years that it connects too all cell towers regardless of carrier in the area. Ignoring the fact the gsm spec wont let you do that, and that it wasen't how the modual worked ether. Instead it worked like every other cell phone finds the closest towers in network.
the 3g thing doent matter anyways as the gs200 was a edge/gsm/2G device that would not actvate on verizon anyway. They have a few years on t-mobile in a few regions past that its dead in the US.
As far as the cto, hes the only one that i think has a chance to really deliver a production ready product... but his experience is in end-user devices and purchasing and some marketing. So I don't have much confidence in that ever happening excepecily with what I know about the "Leadership" who cars more about telemarketing and spam emails.
I am just amassed how a technologies company thats "in development" as the 10k says has no developers...
I though the same thing a few months ago when we "met" the investors from arca. wondering if greg is the fall guy.
darn spoke too soon i guess no recent page.
