Personal Tracking Satellite Services
Our personal tracking satellite services now mean that personal tracking devices can offer individuals and organisations the reassurance to enjoy discovering the great outdoors or work in remote areas while minimising risk to their safety.
Outdoor activities and adventure tourism have never been more popular. From hiking, trail running, cycling or skiing in the mountains to kite surfing, rock climbing or caving around the coast, it may be exhilarating, but it doesn’t have to be dangerous.
For employees working in isolated areas or potentially hazardous situations, personal tracking, enabled by our personal tracking satellite services, can also ensure their safety while offering an excellent tool for remotely monitoring and managing operational activity.
Digital trackers that harness our S-band satellite services’ resilient, ubiquitous coverage can provide a monitoring and recovery solution for any personal tracking requirement, even in the most remote locations. Using direct sensor-to-satellite technology, these trackers offer real-time connectivity and the capability of locating individuals with an accuracy of 50cm.
With the reassurance provided by personal tracking devices, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy their adventures with confidence while teams working in high-risk environments are well-protected.
Pan-European LoRa®-Enabled IoT Network
The direct sensor-to-satellite capability of our single pan-European S-band LoRa®-enabled IoT network offers immense benefits to individuals seeking adventure activities in challenging environments or staff working in isolated locations.
Where terrestrial networks are limited or non-existent, our single pan-European S-band LoRa®-enabled IoT network maintains resilient, ubiquitous coverage even in harsh weather conditions or under water. No additional infrastructure is required and personal trackers are small and lightweight, with fully integrated antennas. Our personal tracking satellite services enable real-time monitoring of location, recovery capability and bi-directional connectivity, this technology supports a faster response time that reduces the consequences of any emergencies faced during expeditions into remote areas or challenging environments.
