The Initiative
The Arkyne Tech group is presenting a new innovative investment challenge to develop Geoo. These personal geo-localizers are not only small and efficient, they are also flexible stickers and reach all kinds of distances. Using GPS and bluetooth technologies, every geoo device is able to send its precise position directly to your smartphone and sketch it on a real time map and radar.Our development team has been working on the idea during the last 6 months until we finally acomplished the final designs. Right now, Geoo is more than an idea. However, in order to reach the next step of our plan and be able to finish its entire development we need your help. One of our main goals is to achieve the most affordable and cheapest price in the market while keeping the highest possible quality. This needs a high starting budget to adquire the most efficient manufacturing and distribution processes. That's why we decided to open this crowdfunding campaign, we appreciate all the support we are receiving and we thank every single person who trusted our project.
How it Works
Geoo uses a simple Bluetooth connection for short distances, and GPS for longer ones. We have optimized the technology taking part in Geoo, so we are sure about providing the best connection as possible with the user. We are launching 2 different models of Geoo, based on your basic needs. Firstly, Geoo Home, thought for a smaller radius of use, such as a house or a store. Geoo Home is built with a Bluetooth based communication system, easily connectable with many compatible devices. Open the app and Geoo Home will show on a radar where it´s located precisely.
But if Geoo Home doesn´t provide the enough range of use you were looking for, worry no more, because we also present Geoo Pro, the advanced version of our first product. With Geoo Pro you can forget about distance barriers, forget about the optimal connection range. We provide coverage for your whole country´s territory. Whether you go on a trip and want to protect your car or luggage, or if you want to make sure your pet or your most vulnerable family members are well protected, Geoo Pro offers more than a wide enough radius for you to be able to track them with your devices. The gps localizer is easily tracked down and displayed on a detailed map so you can be sure that you recover whatever you are looking for.
Why Geoo?
We think it would be great to always have localized all our valuable items and possesions. However, we tend to lose many things around our house, car, workplace, etc. So, why not place a Geoo on everything you really need in your daily life and easily find it with a simple search? Why would you waste time looking for anything when you could use Geoo and find it in seconds?
Comparing Geoo with our closest competitor in crowdfunding...
Our Hardware
We will be using a battery that will last over 12 months, providing for a more than enough life cycle for your Geoo. Furthermore, our batteries can be recharged if needed by an induction system. The Bluetooth has a very low power consumption rate, however it is not a condition for it to reduce its effectivity. As well, optimizing performance is key for all the new technology for it to work at its best, without reducing the user experience. We provide an update rate of your location optimized for the product we are selling. Our refresh rate is set to 1 minute for the Home version, and the amazing 0.5s for the Pro edition, more than an enough accurate time interval for you to localize and track down your Geoo, and with it, your belongings.
The working radius of Geoo Home is also revolutionary. The area fully covered by Geoo Home is of 15000m², sufficient for any Home user to find their device. And you might be wondering, what will happen if I leave this area? Very interesting question with a very easy solution. A notification alert will immediately display on your smartphone, warning you about the distance issue. From there on, you can start the localizing process of your Geoo, or maybe use another interesting feature we have implemented. You can use Geoo Home as a map pin which will save for you to find it later on. For example, leave a Geoo Home in your car when you are going to work, save its location in the map, and you will be able to find it later on when you return.
Geoo Boundaries
Secure your things with Geoo-Boundaries, set a range for your Geoo device. Once reached this distance, a notification will alert you that the Geoo has exceeded its programed limit. It’s not only easy to use but vital for keeping your things saved when you don’t have time to look after them.
Geoo Fits Anywhere
Geoo is also very compact. Size has been key for this project. We have taken our designs to the limit, allowing enough space for all the components to fit adequately inside, but without forgetting the need for it to be as slim and tight as it could possibly be. This allows the user to hide a Geoo nearly anywhere without using up much space.
Geoo is Inexpensive
Prize is also one of our advantages against all the other trackers out on sale. All the other devices ask for a monthly cost for the tracking system to fully function, but we don´t. Our users don´t have to pay for more than the device itself. Other companies charge from $15 to as high as $40 every month, multiplying the tracker's cost every year for it to deliver the same service.
Geoo is secure, and easy to use.
Many are the ways of tracking down a device, but we thought that the easiest and most user-friendly would have to be an app for your smartphone. Find it in your smartphone´s app store and synchronize your Geoo with your phone by inserting its unique ID code. Nothing else is required. You can add several Geoos to the same phone, easily switching from one to another in a very intuitive menu. By default, your Geoos will have stock names. Simply edit them and name them whatever you like, for example keys, bag or wallet. And you are all done and ready to start finding!

FAQs
Why Indiegogo? Why crowdfunding?
We are a still growing technology based company, and crowdfunding offers the possibility to almost everyone to be recognized as well as valuing their work and ideas. This way, Indiegogo seems to be the perfect spot for us to show our ideas to the world.
Is Geoo protected in any way?
Of course! We have designed Geoo for it to be as durable as it can possibly be. This way, Geoo is waterproof and dust resistant, to make sure that it will continue functioning correctly even if it gets wet or dirty. Our International Protection Marking is set to IP-65, resisting any type of solid particle and water jets.
When do we start shipping?
Once our campaigns have ended successfully and reached our set goals, we will start with our mass production phase, and around 2 to 3 months later, we will start delivering all Geoo devices.
How much is the shipping for the rewards?
Every reward which includes the delivery of Geoo´s have been assigned a certain shipping cost. To fully acknowledge the total cost of each reward, we recommend reading all the information posted about them specifically.
What will be the price for the smartphone app?
It´s totally free! Our goal is to simplify as much as possible the process of tracking your Geoo, so an easy-to-install app from your phone´s operating system´s store
Does Geoo need a maintenance of some kind?
Geoo is fully functional whether you clean it or not. No taking care is needed on Geoo, just place it wherever you think it is needed, and enjoy the precise tracking system.
Will Geoo be available in my country?
Yes, we plan on maintaining a worldwide shipping system to provide everyone with their own Geoo.
What devices can I use to find my Geoos?
Any device which is Bluetooth compatible is able to track down the Geoo Home. We think it was our best shot at finding a communication channel that most of the users are familiar with and can have an easy access to. As well, Internet based connection can be made with basically any device, narrowing down even more the user´s requirements to fully use the Geoo´s tracking experience.
Could anyone track my personal Geoo?
Our design is made for each Geoo to have a unique identification code that will only be given to the tracker’s owner. Therefore, nobody will know your Geoo´s ID code and it will be totally confidential. Furthermore, our faultless system is hack-proof by implementing a 32-bit encryption for the code.
Why do we only offer Geoo Home in our perks?
So far, Geoo Home is our big goal to accomplish. This way, we thought about launching the basic model of Geoo first, and if everything continues going as planned, we intend on launching our advanced version of Geoo, the Pro version. Speaking about the Geoo Pro, we have included some discount codes in our reward system for some specific donations, mainly because they will be a great help for our development and feel the need to compensate in some way our trustful investors.
Will Geoo be flexible?
Our latest designs have proved that it would be much more expensive and harder to obtain a flexibility state in our Geoos. However, we thought that adding the water and dust resistance was prior to flexibility and so we did.
Is my Geoo ID code unique?
Of course it is! Every Geoo device has its own, unique ID code. This way no synchronization issues can occur and you can fell totally safe when using your Geoo, nobody else can track it down.
Does Geoo apply a monthly cost for its use?
No. Geoo has been designed to be used without having to pay anything else rather than the device itself. We consider it was key for the costs to cause the least impact on the user as possible.
Is Geoo our only project?
Certainly not. We have been simultaneously developing Geoo but also starting to think, plan and design many more appealing projects which we will surely end up displaying and explaining. For further information, you can visit our site: www.arkynetech.com
