Orbital Tracking Corp. Expands Product Portfolio with Development of New Dual-Mode Cellular-Satellite Tracking Device
Orbital Tracking Corp., (OTCQB:TRKK) (the “Company”), a leading global provider of Mobile Satellite Solutions (MSS) for satellite based communications and asset tracking, including ground station construction, specialized engineering services and product design, announced today that it has developed its first global tracking product, a dual-mode asset tracker, which will be available in the marketplace later this year following final testing and receipt of necessary regulatory and compatibility certifications.
The Company’s dual-mode asset tracker was designed to address the current technical and service cost challenges facing the global Asset Management Systems market, a market growing at a 20.5% compound annual growth rate and estimated to reach a value of $18.87 billion by 2020 according to research by Market and Markets. The first product designed and developed by the Company, the dual-mode tracker utilizes both cellular and satellite technology to provide truly global tracking, automatically switching between the cellular and satellite links making it an ideal solution for use in both populated and remote areas, including trans-oceanic routes. For commercial users in Transportation, Shipping, Logistics, Fleet Management and Construction, it features detailing reporting alerts, status and GPS location data allowing cargo and vehicles to be tracked nearly anywhere in the world while lowering operating costs by utilizing cellular when available and satellite in remote areas, optimizing roaming charges and delivering significant cost savings.
“We are extremely pleased with the progress we’ve made with our dual-mode tracker and look forward to bringing it to the market later this year,” said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer of Orbital Tracking Corp. “Built upon our global experience and expertise in MSS, we fully believe that this product will greatly benefit commercial and governmental customers by lowering costs and providing more reliable tracking capabilities. As global demand continues to grow for devices that can be used during emergencies anywhere in the world, we intend to continue being a pioneer and leader in the asset tracking market.”
Orbital Tracking Corp. has been developing the dual-mode cellular-satellite tracker for more than a year and intends to apply for all required operating licenses and certifications. The dual mode tracker works in conjunction with Orbital Tracking Corp’s brand mapping portal “orbitaltrack” in the U.S., and “gtctrack” for its UK and EU customers through its UK subsidiary, Global Telesat Communications. When launched later this year, the product will operate on the world’s largest commercial satellite networks.
