Tracking Partners

Our partners use our tracking devices coupled with their own tracking platform,
adding industry-specific features and applications. They deliver end-to-end solutions
such as vessel monitoring systems, aerial fire-fighting reporting requirements, and
live biometrics data transmission for the armed forces.

Why partner with Ground Control?

Global-reach trackers

We have trackers for people, aircraft, vessels and vehicles. All use the Iridium satellite network; no matter where they are, as long as they have a clear view of the sky, they remain connected.

Open API architecture

We provide open APIs which allow our partners to integrate data into their own platform. We also have an open Bluetooth API for custom app development.

Customisation options

Because we design and build our devices in-house, we can modify our hardware, firmware, or both. Indeed many of our feature enhancements have been partner-led.

Easy billing

Most partners use our Cloudloop platform which provides them with reliable, itemised usage costs for all of their Ground Control devices. This API-first platform makes airtime billing easy.

Why choose a satellite tracker?

If your customers travel outside of cellular coverage, satellite is the most reliable and secure way to ensure that they remain connected. We use Iridium for our satellite coverage because it’s 100% global and has very low latency – it takes less than one second for a message from the device to reach the intended recipient (whether that’s your platform or an emergency SOS message).

Satellite has a reputation for being expensive, but Short Burst Data (SBD) – the airtime we use for our trackers – is a very low cost means of accessing the Iridium network. What’s more, most of our trackers are hybrid cellular / satellite devices so they will use the lowest cost option depending on what’s available.

    “Out of the box the RockSTAR handheld device was 90% there. With some tweaks to the Ground Control firmware and integration with JCSys’ software interface, we were able to provide the bespoke tracking solution the MOD were looking for. Ground Control ticked the box for adaptability, innovation and reliability.”
