Trisent is a technology company that has created a revolutionary new way to continuously track the location of mobile phones. Unlike Cell-ID technology the system is continuously aware of the location of the tracked phone, when a phone moves the location is automatically updated. This is a real alternative to GPS and it uses standard mobile phone handsets! Trisent argues: "GPS handsets are expensive, they drain your battery quickly and in many situations they cannot see the satellites so they don't always work. Trisent's technology overcomes these problems by using off-the-shelf technology which works anywhere with mobile coverage."

Trisent, a scottish mobile company, partners together with russian operator Vimpelcom to roll this service out. Perhaps a nightmare for every worker but a great control about their employees for the companies using this service. The only opportunity NOT to get tracked is by switching of the mobile phone...
