Recently launched on Indiegogo, Purobu is a small, lightweight device with an array of onboard sensors including GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope and barometer, providing real-time information about its environment, including location, via the internet. London, United Kingdom - September 3, 2014 - (iNewswire)
Made of anodized aluminum and measuring 2in x 2in (5cm x 5cm), 0.4in (1cm) thin, and weighing only 1.8oz (50g), the probe is small and light enough to be deployed just about anywhere. The probe has multiple connection methods available including WiFi and Cellular, with automatic roaming between the two depending on signal strength and availability.
“The Purobu probe is unique in that it can be anything you want it to be. An average user may wish to use it as a real-time GPS tracker, allowing them to track children, pets, cars and boats etc, whereas developers may wish to take advantage of the powerful API to create apps and services using the sensor data. It really is for everyone.” - Ben Christian, Project Creator.
Indiegogo backers are being offered the chance to receive a Purobu Probe for $149, saving $100 off the launch price of $249. In addition to the discount, Indiegogo backers will not have to pay any monthly or annual fees for the cloud service and will also receive 12 months of cellular data at no charge.
The product is being targeted at the US market, although the campaign is accepting international orders. The campaign runs for 30 days and is due to end in early October.
