Circo is a wearable location tracking device developed by Athentek. The device uses a blend of GPS, AGPS, WiFi, and Cell-ID to track position both indoors and outdoors. The user has to insert a sim of their own choice in the slot provided and the device used around 30 MB of data monthly. The device monitors the locations visited by the wearer and marks the frequently visited locations as safe zones. It automatically sends an update to the mobile app when the wearer enters or leaves a safe location. The device has an SOS button that can be used by the wearer in case of an emergency to alert the followers. The company has offices in Taipei, Taiwan, and Palo Alto, California, USA.
