New Emergency Beacon function for EOTT's.
INTELEtrack's new EOTT rear units will have this new future.
After a train was made up and pressure was intruduced into the braking system of the train, the system will be active.
If the Pressure is falling away to zero, after there was pressure from the last switch-on of the rear unit, the rear unit will broadcast on it's radio (UHF/VHF) channel a 'Emergency Beacon' signal to All Inteletrack telemeters in the regions (within radio reception area) the ID and status that the rear of this train had either de-railed or brake up and the brake pipes was damage or de-coupled or another problem with the rear unit.

Real Time Train Information system (RTIS)
a New microprocessor board for the INTELEtrack One-Touch-Fixed Cab unit was also developed by Inteletrack as a mechanical and electrical drop-in replacement for the version currently in the field.
Some enhancements include :
| Parameter | Current version | New unit |
| Memory/Logging | 10,000 records | Over 50,000 records + micro SD card up to 64GB |
| Interface(s) | RS232, 10/100 Ethernet | RS232, 10/100 Ethernet, USB 2.0 |
| GPS | GPS | GPS+CellLocate |
| GSM | GPRS, 1 SIM Card | GPRS, 3G, Two SIM Cards |
| Real-time Clock | not available | 2-week super capacitor, sync by GPS. |
This enhancements, together with some firmware updates will enable the EOTT's Cab unit to also transmit it's position and other values to a server for tracking the locomotive(train), the status of the braking system of the train as well many more other parameters and functionality.
