Our Tracking Services for Aviation
Track Aircraft Anywhere In The Sky with Satellite Connectivity
Global, Real-Time Tracking
Track and manage your aircraft anywhere on Earth with precision and reliability. Our satellite-enabled, aviation-compliant tracking devices ensure your fleet is visible and secure, no matter how remote the location.
Streamlined Fleet Management
Cloudloop provides complete fleet visibility, message history, and group communication. Pilots can use the companion app for two-way messaging, while operators can monitor and manage correspondence in real time.
Safety and Compliance First
Built to meet aviation standards, our tracking devices prioritize reliability and safety. With features like emergency alerts, geofencing, and detailed trip recording, you can maintain compliance and protect your pilots and aircraft.
Uninterrupted Connectivity
Stay connected with your team wherever they are flying. Our devices offer reliable communication through satellite and cellular networks, enabling critical updates, coordination, and safety assurance in the most challenging environments.
Recommended Devices:
Carry on / off tracking device
RockAIR also features complex geofencing capabilities working on many vertices; the device will monitor its location relative to these geofences, and can have different behaviour attributed to each fence for optium positional safety.
Two-way communication and SOS
RockSTAR is a vital handheld safety device with an astonishingly long battery life, giving peace of mind to pilots and aviators wherever you fly. With the ability to send and receive texts and emails, pilot safety is improved, and collaborative decisions can be made in critical flight mission situations.
Ground Control's Aviation Partners
While Ground Control’s devices come with a simple, effective tracking platform, we work with several partners who have built application-specific software platforms that leverage the tracking and communications data provided by Ground Control. These companies include V2Track, TracPlus, SKYTRAC, and IndigoSat. They’re definitely worth reviewing if you have a particular use case in mind.
If you have a fleet management software solution and would like to integrate Ground Control’s devices into your platform, please get in touch. We have fully featured APIs, and provide partners with cost and time-saving tools such as data pooling via our Cloudloop platform.

FAQ's About Satellite IoT in Aviation
Satellite IoT provides global, real-time tracking with no blind spots, so it’s ideal for flights over oceans, remote regions, or unmonitored airspace. Unlike traditional ADS‑B, Ground Control’s satellite-enabled devices ensure you never lose visibility, even in areas without terrestrial radar or cellular coverage.
Yes! With two-way, text-based messaging via satellite, pilots can receive critical updates like weather alerts, flight plan changes, or emergency advisories, even when out of cell coverage. Devices like RockAIR and RockSTAR also support SOS alerts for enhanced safety.
In a GPS-denied environment, whether due to jamming, spoofing, or signal blockage, RockSTAR APNT continues to provide tracking and situational awareness.
RockSTAR APNT’s location data doesn’t rely on GNSS systems. Instead, it uses Iridium’s PNT: a one-way signal, broadcast at 1,000 times the strength of GPS, by Iridium’s satellite constellation. With global satellite messaging capabilities, users can send and receive messages, access critical information, and activate emergency alerts from even the most remote or high-risk locations. Whether it’s for navigation, real-time tracking, or emergency communication, RockSTAR APNT delivers reliable connectivity, backed by Iridium’s trusted and 100% global satellite network.
For pilots, this means you maintain visibility and communication, even when GNSS fails—adding a critical layer of safety and resilience to your mission, especially in remote or contested airspace.
