Tracking & Paging

RockSTAR STL uses Iridium's 'Satellite Time and Location' (STL) service for GPS-independent location tracking, messaging, and emergency alerts.

RockSTAR Burst allows one-way messages to be reliably delivered anywhere in the world in close to real-time. With zero RF footprint and secure message encryption, it’s particularly well suited for covert teams.

The 'original' RockSTAR offers the same highly ruggedized form factor, but is a full two-way tracking and messaging device, used by soldiers on exercise for emergency communication with base.

Asset Management

To accommodate the wide range of assets that can be tracked, we offer a wide range of asset trackers. The Rock trackers leverage the Iridium satellite constellation, giving them global coverage and very low latency.

The Globalstar devices are less feature-rich, but rugged tough and very affordable - ideal for mass deployments.

The Orbcomm tracker uses the Viasat satellite network, and has proven very easy to integrate with telemetry sensors.

How Are Ground Control's Military Satellite Solutions Used?

Remote Surveillance

RockREMOTE Rugged allows you to transmit video from extremely remote locations. This could be used to permit access to restricted facilities, to monitor large areas for unauthorized visitors, and to observe border crossings.

Transmit Biometrics

If your soldiers are equipped with biometer sensors, you can use our tracking and monitoring devices to transmit data such as heart rate and temperature from anywhere on the globe with a clear view of the sky.

Tracking & Two-Way Comms

Our rugged tough devices are ideal for military deployments, with 12 months+ battery life and extremely secure data delivery. Use the device for communication or Bluetooth to message from a smartphone.
