Two-way Messaging & Tracking
Satellite enabled tracking and messaging, not only allows events previously deemed too dangerous to take place safely, but is also key to providing peace of mind to competitors and students on a science expedition alike. Our handheld solution, the RockSTAR, works far beyond the reach of Wi-Fi and GSM networks, providing reliable, global messaging and tracking.
Alternatively, the RockFLEET Tracker, designed for installation on assets such as yachts and vehicles, has an optional LTE Narrowband unit. This allows the use of terrestrial mobile phone networks when possible, automatically switching to the global Iridium satellite network when these are unavailable, for a truly cost-effective solution.
