Global Satellite... Track That Sat (SATCOM)


[SatNews] Global Satellite USA has launched their GSatMicro, powered by GSatTrack.com, the smallest...

...self-contained satellite tracking device that can track and monitor any asset anywhere in the world, using the Iridium network. The GSatMicro has been built with security in mind and has 256-encryption and measures only 42mm x 51mm x 32mm in size and includes a battery, modem and antenna. For the maritime industry, the types of applications that best suits the GSAT Micro include tracking and monitoring boats, fleets of ships simultaneously (one unit per ship), jet skis, tenders, crew or even equipment on the boat. The tracker can even be attached to the starter motor, so if it moved beyond its boundaries and stopped, the boat would not be able to start up again.

The GSatMicro has dual rechargeable Lithium Polymer batteries for months of battery life, integrated high gain ceramic antenna, a USB connection for programming and full two-way communications network. The GSatMicro has a SiRFstarIV GPS that reduces battery drain and also enables a wider usage of monitoring, not just navigation, such as geo-tagging for images, movement and mixed indoor and outdoor applications.
