EMS Global Tracking Issues Forth From EMS Satcom + Satamatics


EMS Global Tracking homepage EMS Global Tracking, a division of EMS Technologies, Inc., has unveiled its combined suite of tracking and personnel recovery systems at the Defense Systems and Equipment International Conference (DSEi) — the division, formerly the Tracking and Messaging, and Search and Rescue (SAR) business units of EMS SATCOM, and the recently acquired Satamatics>, have combined forces to offer a broad range of solutions to both military and civilian markets.

The division’s senior management team is distributed between its offices in Tewkesbury, and Ottawa, Ontario. Koutrouki will lead a talented international management team that includes Steven Edgett, vice president of business development and strategy; John McQueen, commercial sales director; Stephane Momy, government and security sales director; Phil Wilkinson, director of operations, and Richard Smith, head of engineering. Edgett previously led the company’s SAR business, which is a leader in Cospas-Sarsat satellite constellation ground segment systems. The new division offers global tracking and messaging solutions for force-tracking, low-data rate and machine-to-machine (M2M) tracking for NGOs, maritime users, search-and-rescue and personnel recovery systems for civilian and military applications. The systems operate over a number of satellite constellations, including Inmarsat, Iridium, SkyTerra, and Cospas-Sarsat. EMS Global Tracking systems offer users a variety of options that will meet specific requirements.
