Qualcomm has upgraded the panic button on its OmniTRACS wireless communications system, which shipping companies and warehouses use to keep track of their goods. The "button" has become mobile, so a driver leaving a truck laden with goods, for example, can use it while outside the vehicle, according to Qualcomm. In older generations, the button was fixed onto a dashboard. Truck drivers use the button to alert their dispatchers that they are being robbed or attacked.
