Micro Technologies Security Products Now At HPCL Pumps

Micro Technologies, a security and tracking product company, through its subsidiary Micro Retail, has established Micro Shoppe Extension Counters at HPCL outlets across major metros that have become effective since September 1, 2008.

Micro Technologies plans to expand these Micro Shoppe Extension Counters to major retail brands across the country.

In the initial phase, five HPCL petrol pumps in Mumbai (including Nepean Sea Road, Cardel Road, Bandra-Kurla Complex, S V Road junction, Bandra {W} and Jeevan, near Apna Bazaar in Andheri {W}) will have Micro Shoppee extension counters. Within three months, 500 HPCL outlets will have Micro Technologies’ extension counters and eventually over 7,000 HPCL petrol pumps across the country will be covered.

These Micro Shoppe Extension Counters are being placed to bring to the masses high-end technology-based security products. These counters will have easy accessibility that will enable customers to have a better understanding of the products. These extension counters will offer consumers an interactive and informative shopping experience.

“We have long been associated with HPCL. They (HPCL) have been using our products and have been satisfied with the same. Therefore, we have decided to kick-start the process by forging an alliance with HPCL. This will be extended to other partners later,” said Vivek Rai, CEO, Micro Retail.

At the extension counters, Micro Technologies will offer customers Micro VBB, which is specially designed for automobiles. Micro Vehicle Black Box (Micro VBB) provides protection against theft and retrieval of stolen vehicles.

MicroVBB is a messaging and anti-theft security system. With various sensors installed in the vehicle, this intelligent box senses events such as smoke identification, emergency alert switch, Telematics, intrusion detection of vehicle doors and immediately intimates these events to the vehicle owner’s mobile, telephone or e-mail inbox.

Apart from intrusion intimation to registered user, VBB is proactive in considering digital information by way of receiving commands and corrective mechanical action to the vehicle, simultaneously confirming back action taken by the system. Thus, the vehicle owner could control the vehicle by sending commands to ‘Micro VBB’ system through use of mobile phone. System is compatible to any make mobile handset that can send and receive an SMS. However, a GSM network is essentially required for the functioning of the system.

Some other products from Micro technologies include: Lost Mobile Tracking System, Micro Buddy Tracking System, Laptop tracking system and home and office security systems.
