Improving operations and public safety with satellite and hybrid tracking of containers, road vehicles and rail cars

Dublin, Ireland , November 03 2015 - Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (NYSE MKT: GSAT) and the leader in mobile satellite communications, will be demonstrating how affordable and reliable satellite communications are transforming tracking and monitoring on land and at sea at stand F78 Intermodal Europe 2015, Hamburg Messe, November 17 – 19.

Globalstar will highlight a number of new and emerging solutions that show how freight management and logistics businesses can enhance the efficiency of their operations and cut operating costs by opting to rely on satellite communications - or adopting a hybrid approach combined with GSM - to track cargo and monitor its environment.

A number of Value Added Resellers have integrated Globalstar’s leading edge satellite chipset and communications services into their products to extend the reach and reliability of their communications. Visitors to Intermodal 2015 can learn about solutions including:

A new satellite tracking solution for the trucking industry developed by Spanish technology and fleet tracking solutions specialist FAGOR Electrónica, S. Coop. FAGOR selected Globalstar’s SmartOne for the satellite technology underpinning this new solution to ensure transportation companies can monitor their fleet of vehicles even when they are outside of GSM range. Not only does the solution report the precise location of the vehicle but it also provides details about engine time usage and total mileage. Using a hybrid model, the tracking solution automatically switches between GSM communications and satellite to ensure maximum reach, reliability and cost efficiency.

Identec Solutions helps businesses to manage their land-based and offshore assets using both satellite technology as well as Active RFID features. This hybrid multi-frequency capability gives users the advantage of low power and long-range Active RFID transmissions as well as reliable satellite transmissions. The Identec iQ350LX GPS/SAT uses the Globalstar STX3 chipset and integrated sensors to report the precise location of an asset - whether it is a container, vehicle or other item of heavy equipment. The first-ever ATEX-certified, multi-frequency asset tracking solution, also provides valuable metrics on movement, instantly reporting whether the asset has experienced damage or shock.

M2M specialist Ovinto uses Globalstar technology to provide manufacturers with the intelligence required to minimise the risk associated with the transportation of their dangerous cargo while optimising their supply chain operations. Using Globalstar’s STX3 simplex chipset, Ovinto Sat allows chemical and oil/gas companies to monitor potentially hazardous materials in unpowered environments including rail tank cars and tank containers. In October 2015, Globalstar announced that leading petrochemical provider SABIC has committed to equip its entire European fleet of rail tank cars with Ovinto Sat. Thanks to this solution, chemical manufacturers like SABIC can benefit from knowing details about where a tank car or container is, whether it has been impacted due to a crash, is leaking, is at the right pressure and temperature and is in the correct location. Satellite is the preferred option for such communications due to its availability, reliability and low power consumption compared to GSM.

At the show, Globalstar will also highlight the opportunities for Value Added Resellers in the transport and logistics sector to add satellite communications to their existing products. Corry Brennan, Simplex Regional Sales Manager – EMEA, at Globalstar, explains: “By adding satellite communications to existing GSM solutions, customers can rest reassured that they can communicate even where there is patchy or non-existent mobile/cellular service. With the progress in satellite technologies and Globalstar’s huge investments in our network capabilities – from the chipset to our next generation network – satellite communication is now much more affordable and reliable than ever before. These developments are resulting in new market opportunities for savvy VARs.”

Globalstar Europe Satellite Services will show how Value Added Resellers (VARs) in the freight management and logistics sector can boost their business by integrating satellite communications for tracking and monitoring cargo on land and at sea. Satellite communications delivers new commercial opportunities for VAR’s by extending the reach of services to those areas that are beyond mobile phone signal.

Visitors to stand B94 at Intermodal 2014 can see how Globalstar VARs are taking advantage of satellite’s extensive reach and reliability. One such Globalstar VAR is M2M specialist Ovinto. Its solution gives manufacturers intelligence to minimise the risk associated with the transportation of their dangerous cargo while optimising their supply chain operations.

The Ovinto Sat product uses Globalstar’s STXII simplex chipset to enable chemical and oil/gas companies monitor hazardous materials in unpowered environments including rail tank cars and tank containers. The solution, which visitors can see demonstrated live on the Globalstar stand, provides chemical manufacturers with details about whether a container has been impacted due to a crash, is leaking, is at the right pressure and temperature and is in the correct location. Satellite is the preferred option for such communications due to its availability, reliability and low power consumption compared to GSM.

“There are huge opportunities for resellers to expand the capabilities of their solutions by adding satellite communications as back-up to GSM networks in areas where there is patchy or non-existent service,” said Corry Brennan, Simplex Regional Sales Manager – EMEA, at Globalstar.

“Not only is it now more affordable to communicate by satellite, but it is now reliable too. We now have the world’s most modern satellite communications network, the result of six years’ work and a one billion dollars investment. Consequently, Globalstar’s customers benefit from a fast, highly reliable, second-generation satellite network that is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition,” he added.

On its stand, Globalstar will also highlight the portable ‘plug and play’ SmartOne tracker which is designed for the intelligent management of powered and non-powered, fixed and movable assets including trucks, trailers, cargo containers and boats. Its compact, rugged design and long battery life of over three years make it ideal for even the harshest of environments.

SmartOne uses motion sensors, comparative GPS positions and custom-configured sensors to gather and transmit information such as movement and location reports, geo-fencing alerts, stop/start messaging and theft recovery alerts by email or text message, using Globalstar’s unrivalled satellite network. SmartOne also transmits other message types including battery status, input alarm status and diagnostic information.

International provider of asset management services, Geoforce has announced the additional expansion of its global footprint for GPS tracking of field equipment using the Globalstar Simplex network. Service for sub-Saharan Africa will be commercially available on 1 January based on the opening of Globalstar's new gateway in Botswana. 

Since Geoforce's inception in 2007, Globalstar has provided underlying satellite service for Geoforce's Track and Trace services for global traceability of field equipment. With the addition of Globalstar's new infrastructure in southwestern Africa, its satellite coverage will extend to nearly 100 percent of all oil and gas producing regions. Satellite service is required to provide coverage in regions with limited cellular coverage. These range from the North Slope of Alaska, to many remote shale basins in North America, and most of the major offshore producing regions in the world, including the Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, offshore Brazil, West Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia. 

Already operating in six continents, Geoforce will now be able to offer complete worldwide support for its satellite based GPS tracking devices, and Track and Trace software applications. These products include the GT1, the world's only IECEx/ATEX certified Zone 0 GPS tracking device, and the new GT0, the world's smallest commercial satellite tracking device.
