Never Lose an Asset With Satellite Fleet Tracking (SATRAK)
January 12 2023
If your fleet operates between various towns and cities in New Zealand, you have your work cut out for you. With hundreds of kilometres of road between starting point and destination, it’s next to impossible to track each of your assets without significant help. That’s where Satellite Fleet Tracking & Management (SATRAK) comes in. Satellite Fleet Tracking allows you to remain in control of the whereabouts of your fleet with modern technology and software solutions without multiplying your labour costs.
What is Satellite Fleet Tracking?
Satellite fleet tracking is exactly how it sounds - it’s tracking that connects directly to satellites for global coverage. However, unlike regular GPS tracking units that connect to traditional GSM cellular networks, specialised SATRAK GPS units are used to connect to the Iridium Satellite Network instead.
What are SATRAK GPS Units?
SATRAKs are Argus Tracking GPS units which unlike standard GPS units do not require connection to the GSM cellular network to operate, they instead connect directly to the Iridium Satellite Network.
In situations where powered assets spend significant periods of time outside of GSM coverage, these satellite-only units have the ability to connect to the Iridium Satellite Network and use this connection to transmit live data to our servers without connecting to the GSM network at all.
The Benefits of Satellite Tracking Using Argus Tracking SATRAK GPS Tracking
There are countless ways that satellite tracking will benefit the management of your fleet, including:
Maintaining live-tracking information on powered assets even when they go out of GSM coverage.
Maximise Health & Safety precautions with the use of a Panic Button so that your drivers have the ability to send you a panic alert (even in situations where they would not be able to call).
Great for assets that spend a large proportion of time out in remote areas.
Knowing exactly where your assets are at all times and the ability to recover stolen assets from the most remote locations.
