Smith & Wesson (SWHC ) will announce earnings after the close today.

GPS is used in this way for crash notification, duress, etc. but it can also be another tool in an integrator's arsenal of recurring monthly revenue (RMR) allowing users to deploy it as a management tool to track vehicles and personnel and their mobile activities while on the clock. On the home front, it can protect against vehicle theft or the wayward teenage driver on the lam.
Much of the activity and interest in cellular for security and the migration to radio signaling for primary alarm and now fire signal transmission is tied to the demise of landlines in the home, cell-only homes and the move to
