Delta’s pet-tracking GPS

On March 31, Delta Air Lines became the first airline in the world to introduce a pet-tracking GPS device; it’s called the PT300. 

Along with its location, the device, which is placed in the pet’s carrier, collects data on the ambient temperature and on its orientation so Delta employees know if the pet is in danger of overheating or if the crate is askew. Due to cellular restrictions, however, it can transmit data only before and after a flight.
