Satellite Tracking
FMSi fits vehicles with Iridium and Inmarsat satellite devices so location, alerts and messages continue where there is no LTE coverage. Data appears in FMSiTrack alongside cellular-tracked vehicles.
Key features
- Satellite coverage for remote areas, using Iridium and Inmarsat
- Regular location and performance updates
- SOS messages and notifications for accidents or emergencies
- Communication over a direct satellite link, independent of cellular networks
- Customizable alerts, for example rollover, unauthorized access or unexpected vehicle behavior
- Remote monitoring of vehicles and assets
Consideration
Setup costs are higher than for cellular tracking. The brochure notes that reduced downtime can offset this over time.
Who it is for
Operators working in deserts, remote sites and exploration areas, and projects with lone-worker or high-risk journeys.
