GTX Corp-Wearing the Future on our Wrist

Wearable GPS tracking bands have become an absolute trend these days. It emerged on the scene quite a while ago, but very few people actually predicted its steady rise. One of those few ones was Patrick Bertagna, the Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO of GTX Corp. GTX Corp, also known as GTXO, was brought into existence 18 years ago. At first, the company’s set off with a humble objective of tracking and locating people and things at the touch of a button through wearable technology. The company’s first ground-breaking creation came in the form of GPS SmartSole, world’s first invisible GPS wearable tracking device designed for those at risk of wandering due to Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism, and traumatic brain injury. The shrewd yet subtle combination of GPS and cellular technology earned GTX Corp heaps of appreciation from across the industry. Furthermore, the easy-to-use interface won over the end-consumer in a heartbeat as well. This big break opened a world of possibilities for GTX Corp, and they haven’t looked back since then.

Like you’ll find in many other success stories, GTX’s hands-on approach to everything played an utterly pivotal role in bringing the company to the altitude on which it sits right now. Their early entry in wearable technology business gave them a rare opportunity to patent some crucial cogs that are used in making the whole thing possible. This placed them in the pole position to trigger a massive expansion. As a result of that, GTX currently now has customers, vendors, suppliers, and partners in over 6 continents. This allows the company to make a more versatile and commanding push towards an even greater height. It’s easy to talk about how GTX enjoys a high position in the industry, but it was never a piece of cake. The company had to tackle a fair share of challenges along the way. As the consumer needs evolved, the demand to reinvent their product pitted itself against GTX. They dealt heads-on with it and delivered a more size-friendly, robust, and less power consuming product. One of the other major challenges they faced was the constant alterations in wireless carrier platforms. A more advanced version was dropping almost every two years, and to keep up with it and keep their products compatible with the advanced versions, GTX had to clock some really hard yards, but they did it without a complain and emerged better and bigger than ever. While the company was locking horns with technical challenges, they never forgot one of their core principles, which is to create products that impact lives.

“When you make a product that can help find a mom in the middle of the night if she wandered off, or locate a child in a school in case of a fire or making sure a soldier is not in the line of sight during live ammunition exercise, creates an awesome responsibility for all the stakeholders,” says Patrick Bertagna.

GTX is just two years shy from completing two decades in the industry, and it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the last 18 has been nothing short of eventful for the company. So far, GTX has been included in the Top 25 section of most empowering IoT companies. They have been elected as a Member of United Nations Global Compact. They secured 2^nd place in CTIA awards, runner-up to Microsoft, while finishing a spot ahead of Samsung. GTX’s technology was selected by George Mason University for a 2-year study on Alzheimer’s. GTX’s flagship product was exhibited in 100 most important inventions of mankind in Technology Museum of Sweden. The company has earned a whole host of other laurels as well, and they might just continue to gather them as they look poised to continue laying a path for the masses to follow.
