Looking for rentals or personal use?

Ground Control is the parent company of YB Tracking, who provide tracking, monitoring, and messaging devices for extreme races. The company started out by equipping yachts with waterproof, ruggedized tracking devices that could also send and receive short messages. Over time, applications for other off-the-beaten-track events became clear and YB solutions were designed specifically for rental and personal use - covering land, sea, and air races, and expeditions. If you are looking for a single, personal use tracker or to rent units for a short period of time, YB is the correct choice. Looking to purchase hardware for longer-term use? Get in touch, our team can help.
