TUMI Announces Launch of Global Locator

TUMI Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:TUMI), the leading global travel lifestyle brand, announced today its collaboration with AT&T1 and LugTrack to launch the “TUMI Global Locator,” a new wireless tracking device designed to provide travelers with real-time data regarding the location of their luggage or other travel bags, helping to alleviate the headaches of lost or misplaced items.

“AT&T continues to deliver on its promise to improve life through connectivity on a global scale. After close collaboration with TUMI and LugTrack, travelers worldwide can now lead a more connected life while on-the-go”

With a sleek design and the ability to track any bag, briefcase, backpack, luggage, or accessory, the TUMI Global Locator is a wireless and compact device which uses GPS, GSM, WIFI and Bluetooth technology to provide specific location positioning information via a mobile application to users around the world. The device is FAA compliant, with the capability to shut itself off in-flight and turn itself back on upon landing, maintaining observance with major airline regulator policies.

“As a leader in creating innovative travel solutions, TUMI is always looking for new ways to simplify and perfect the travel journey, while ensuring that our products exceed consumers’ expectations and fit seamlessly into their lives,” said TUMI’s Chief Executive Officer and President, Jerome Griffith. “In today’s digital world of connected devices, smartphones, and tablets, we saw a great opportunity to support consumers’ desire to remain connected to all parts of their lives, including their luggage and bags they use day-to-day. We are excited to be working with AT&T and LugTrack to bring this exciting new travel solution to market.”

AT&T, a leader in the Internet of Things (IoT), provides global connectivity for the device. “AT&T continues to deliver on its promise to improve life through connectivity on a global scale. After close collaboration with TUMI and LugTrack, travelers worldwide can now lead a more connected life while on-the-go,” said Chris Penrose, senior vice president, Internet of Things Solutions, AT&T Mobility.

The hardware and patented technology for the device is supported by LugTrack, a New Jersey based technology company.
