Globalstar SmartOne C
The SmartOne C is a compact, battery-powered satellite tracker designed for reliable, long-term asset monitoring. Now fully integrated with Cloudloop, it provides seamless access to tracking data, automated subscription management, and a user-friendly platform for real-time asset tracking.
Key Capabilities
Flexible satellite tracking and status monitoring for remote, mobile and high value assets.
Globalstar satellite tracking for assets beyond cellular coverage
External or AAA battery power with automatic backup switching
Configurable reporting schedules, motion alerts and theft detection
TTL serial and contact inputs for external sensors and switches
Rugged IP68 construction for long term outdoor asset monitoring
Small, Cost Effective Asset Tracker
SmartOne C is a compact, cost-effective device for tracking and monitoring assets in remote locations using the Globalstar LEO satellite network. Designed to be easily installed on to the exterior of valuable assets, SmartOne C can be line-powered or utilize AAA 1.5v lithium batteries for applications when a power supply is limited or unavailable.
With 12 different reporting times, interval or 24 hour operating modes and the ability to build custom schedules and alerts, SmartOnce C is a highly adaptable asset tracker to meet a wide variety of requirements.
SmartOne C is fully integrated with Cloudloop, Ground Control’s powerful IoT platform, simplifying asset tracking, subscription and device management.
Feature-Rich Asset Monitoring
SmartOne C is equipped with motion sensors, GPS capability and custom configured sensors, and can provide near real-time updates or triggered alerts using cost-effective short burst messages via the Globalstar satellite network.
Asset tracking managers can continuously monitor their containers as they move between different shipping methods, such as from ships to trains to lorries. Those concerned about unauthorized movements or thefts of high value assets can set up a geofence in Cloudloop Tracking, which increases the frequency of location information when an asset moves outside of its intended range.
SmartOne C can also connect to onboard sensors and switches via line inputs to send status updates, such as vehicle ignition switches or container door sensors.
