In industries such as mining, agriculture, marine operations and logistics, assets frequently operate in areas with limited or no cellular coverage. To maintain visibility and control over these assets, businesses rely on GPS trackers that utilise satellite communication.
Theย G150 Hybrid GPS Tracker combines cellular and satellite communication, ensuring continuous tracking of assets.
Ideal for industries with remote assets, such as mining, agriculture, marine operations and fleet management.
Note: The G150 Hybrid GPS Tracker requires a connected Iridium satellite modem to operate in satellite mode. Without the Iridium Edge module, the G150 functions as a 4G/2G cellular tracker.
For assets operating exclusively in areas without cellular coverage, satellite-only GPS trackers like the Iridium Edge Solar provide reliable tracking solutions. The Iridium Edge Solar utilises Short Burst Data (SBD) to send location data from any location with a clear view of the sky.
Ideal for long-term tracking of assets in remote areas.
Suitable for tracking containers, trailers, and other mobile assets.
Designed for monitoring fixed and mobile assets in remote locations.
A mining contractor in Queensland utilises the G150 Hybrid GPS Tracker with an external antenna to monitor pump and engine hours in unmanned, Autonomous mining areas. The external antenna ensures reliable connectivity, allowing for efficient maintenance scheduling without the need for regular on-site visits.
Another example involves a logistics company using the SmartOne Solar to track shipping containers across international routes. The solar-powered device provides consistent location updates, ensuring the security and timely delivery of goods.
