Transport & Logistics Tracking and Communications

SATELLITE TRANSPORT TRACKING

Keep connected with fleets, wherever they are in the world

As a fleet manager, you’re probably already aware that cellular connectivity only covers 15% of the globe, presenting tracking, monitoring and communication challenges for lorries, trains and transport travelling outside of mobile range.

That’s where satellite fleet tracking comes into its own. Covering 100% of the globe, with satellite connectivity you can locate your vehicles, communicate with your drivers, pilots and helmsmen, and collect vital telematics data for compliance and assurance even across borders.

Why work with Ground Control for fleet tracking and telematics?

Hybrid cellular / satellite

Devices such as the RockAIR and RockFLEET utilise hybrid cellular / satellite connectivity, automatically selecting lowest cost routing based on coverage availability. Keeping you connected and your costs down.

Fully featured APIs

In addition to delivering your data in your preferred format, we give you complete control over your devices and subscriptions, allowing you to programmatically activate, suspend, deactivate, and reviewing billing information.

Cloudloop platform

While our APIs are deservedly popular, many customers utilise our online platform, Cloudloop, for device and subscription management, and also for basic tracking visualisation. Cloudloop works across multiple devices and airtime providers, too.

Data pooling

If you have a large fleet, data pooling is going to save you a lot of money. Share your data between all of your connected devices, so that if one starts transmitting far more data than expected, you're still unlikely to incur overage charges.

Global coverage

Irrespective of where you are on Earth, if you have a clear view of the sky, you will be able to transmit and receive data using satellite connectivity. Moreover that connection doesn't drop when you move between countries, or between land, sea or air.

Design and build

We are proud to manufacture the Rock series of products, giving us control over the whole process, and maintaining the highest production quality. We can also customise devices to customers' needs, and your feedback shapes our roadmap.

Value-added partners

We work with a number of exceptional partner companies, both for hardware devices such as the Explorer 323, and for software applications for specific use cases. Our partners allow us to offer end to end solutions for almost any requirement.

Fleet management telematics solutions

Ground Control's lorry, train and transport tracking devices not only provide real-time data on your asset's location, they also transmit vital telemetry data. For example, vibration, motion and temperature sensor data, which can help safeguard against theft, and distance travelled vs. fuel consumed, which can help your business manage costs and demonstrate compliance with legislation monitoring the environmental impact of shipping, across borders and territories.

Two-way communication with your team

In addition to tracking, satellite connectivity also facilitates two-way communication between your drivers, pilots and helmsmen, so that they can keep fleet managers informed about their status, receive new instructions if they need to change their route, and better ensure their safety in remote locations.
