Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications company, has launched its latest internet of things (IoT) tracking products, including the consumer-focused Telstra Locator, which helps users find tagged valuables, and the business-focused Track and Monitor, which provides a similar service for companies. Locator users will also be able to set up Wi-Fi zones that alert them when items go out of range. Telstra is also working on Device Locator for lost phones and tablets using GPS technology. The company says it plans to roll out more IoT products in coming months, with the first being an app called Tracker, which allows people to track their own devices through location data.
