Available in June 2008, the S-911 bracelet will retail for $399. Monthly service fees for the SIM card (required for GSM/GPRS service) are still to be determined, but the rep at CES said it would likely cost somewhere around $20 per month.

The S-911 Bracelet Locator also features:

• Mapping provided by Microsoft Virtual Earth (users can also use Google Earth if they prefer)
• Ability to locate one device or a group of devices at once
• Reports real-time location, speed, heading, mileage and status
• Users can setup Geo-Fence perimeters for each device, and configure custom alerts if the S-911 leaves the defined perimeter
• An emergency alert event when the SOS button is pressed
• Ability to view historical position records and plot a breadcrumb trail on the map

If the bracelet is just too much to handle on your wrist, Laipac also makes a small handheld version, S-911 Personal Locator. Features are identical to the bracelet, but the handheld costs $279. According to the representative at CES, Laipac has sold over 10,000 personal locators (GPSmagazine could not verify that number).
