...enable travelers and other customers with its GPS tracking service, “VM Travel Tracker,” to have vital, global coverage anywhere on Earth, from pole-to-pole, from the middle of the Sahara desert to the remote jungles of Asia and South America. With its move into device and location tracking, Voyage Manager offers Iridium®-based tracking devices designed and built through the Iridium partner ecosystem. Voyage Manager integrates VM Travel Tracker with these Iridium-based devices to automatically track travelers without any user interaction, making VM Travel Tracker the only completely automated travel tracking systems on the market. “VM Locate”, Voyage Manager’s device tracking service, uses the Iridium network as a key component in its device tracking suite that includes mobile phone tracking and GSM/GPRS based device tracking.
Some Iridium-based tracking devices incorporate emergency buttons which can be activated in the case of an emergency. When travelers activate these two-way emergency services, Voyage Manager’s emergency response is automatically activated, which includes notifying the traveler’s emergency response contacts.
