It's a black plastic box about the size and shape of a TV converter. But what makes Boomerang unique is its Bell Mobility system. Boulay's company has a contract with Bell to use its network to track Boomerangs hidden in stolen vehicles. You may have heard of car tracking systems before. That system can track a car, but only if it can be seen by the satellite.
Boomerang is different.
It works like a very powerful cell phone. It can reach the Bell Mobility antennas from an underground parking garage or from inside a metal shipping container. The Boomerang calls in every 15 minutes. If your car goes missing, that call can be traced, allowing the car to be located anywhere there's a cell phone service. Boomerang has helped recover - at 97 per cent.
