The QuikTrak history

QuikTrak technology was inspired by a close encounter with a crocodile in the late 70's when Dr Michael Yerbury narrowly avoided disaster while tracking the man-eating beasts up close in northern Australia using primitive radio direction-finding techniques. He concluded that there had to be a better way of remotely tracking objects.

In 1985, Dr Yerbury started Advanced Systems Research Pty Ltd (ASR), and assembled a team to design and build the technology that has become known as ‘QuikTrak’. This technology was further developed under the stewardship of Lend Lease Corporation and eventually British Aerospace Australia, culminating in a prototype system becoming operational at the end of 1987.

In 1996 a new commercial QuikTrak network in Sydney was commissioned and since then the system has proved its worth operationally, particularly in the effectiveness of its security applications where it has saved many millions of dollars worth of private vehicles and an equally large quantity of commercial cargoes.

In late 1999 QuikTrak acquired the Intellectual Property for the QuikTrak technology from British Aerospace, including our Technology Centre in Adelaide. Shortly afterward, two new QuikTrak networks were established covering the greater metropolitan areas of Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

QuikTrak is now seeking to diversify the monitoring, tracking and communications products available and expand its coverage areas across Australia and throughout the Asia Pacific region.
