Vehicle Tracking via Satellite
Monitor your trucks, trains and heavy machinery anywhere on the planet with our satellite-enabled vehicle tracking systems.
Global Fleet Tracking and Telemetry for Contractors and Rental Companies
Locate Your Fleet Anywhere
Our satellite-enabled devices will track your assets anywhere on Earth, as long as there is a clear view of the sky. Live and historical location data lets you know exactly where your machines and assets are, and where they’ve been.
Monitor Mixed Fleet Health
Whether you’re monitoring heavy machinery, trucks, trains, snowmobiles or mobile generators, our solutions can transmit detailed telemetry data, including fuel consumption, tire pressure, brake wear and other critical systems.
Prevent Theft With Instant Alerts
Get instant alerts if assets start moving outside of schedule. Set up unlimited geofences and control the behavior of your assets when they enter or exit each fence, e.g. speed up or slow down the tracking rate, or send you an alert.
Make Better Informed Decisions
Detailed historical reports allow you to analyze your fleet’s performance, and make changes to utilize your fleet more efficiently. Make sure every asset is where it needs to be, at the right time, saving money and reducing idle time.
Our Global Tracking Platform, Cloudloop
Cloudloop Tracking brings live vehicle locations, journey history, alerts, geofencing and two way messaging together in one map-based platform, giving your team a clear view of trucks, machinery and other mobile assets worldwide.
Heavy Machinery Operators
Whether you rent out or own excavators, loaders, cranes etc., these highly valuable assets are vulnerable to theft as well as requiring regular maintenance to prevent costly repairs. Both issues can be mitigated by fitting a tracking and monitoring device from Ground Control, which delivers global coverage.
Farm Machinery Operators
In the USA alone, there are 1,000 reports of farm machinery theft per month, of which fewer than 20% are recovered. This risk can be mitigated by tracking and monitoring devices. With Ground Control’s satellite enabled devices, you’ll be able to track your machinery anywhere they go.
Mobile Generator Rental / Owners
Whether you rent out generators, or you own the assets, knowing where they are, and the condition they’re in, is essential for peak efficiency. A satellite tracking device from Ground Control ensures that you receive real-time and historical location data for your generators, wherever they go, plus telemetry data.
Fleet Managers
The benefits of GPS truck tracking for fleet managers are well documented: greater efficiency, improved customer communication, enhanced driver and goods safety. With Ground Control, you can extend those benefits to anywhere on Earth. Our trackers leverage satellite connectivity to provide you with real-time location data.
Rail Freight Operators
Using a satellite-enabled tracking and monitoring system on rail freight can help reduce theft and increase efficiencies, and ensure goods arrive in peak condition. Ground Control’s trackers are small, robust and offer truly global coverage. They provide location data plus inventory monitoring and telemetry data transmission.
Logistics Coordinators
Seamlessly tracking high value assets across oceans and borders requires satellite connectivity. The tracker needs to be discreet, robust, tamper-proof and reliable. Ground Control both builds tracking devices, and works with trusted third parties to ensure that you can track cargo in transit, anywhere on Earth with a clear view of the sky.
Our Devices
Trucks
RockDASH is a carry-on, carry-off device that features two-way communication via Bluetooth LE in addition to tracking and telemetry transmission. It offers dual-mode satellite and cellular connectivity with lowest cost routing.
RockFLEET has similar functionality but is designed for permanent installation.
The Orbcomm ST-6100 is designed for permanent installation, and supports a variety of IO interfaces, allowing integration with a wide range of sensors and devices.
Heavy Machinery
RockREMOTE Mini has the greatest data capacity rates listed here. It’s rugged tough, and designed to operate on extremely low power.
The Iridium Edge Solar will transmit data for up to 10 years using solar power to charge the battery!
Orbcomm ST2100 is very cost-effective and designed for low power consumption. It has flexible I/O interfaces including serial RS232.
SmartOne C utilizes the Globalstar constellation which has great coverage over Americas, Western Europe, Australasia and much of Africa.
Cargo
The key requirement here is the robustness of the device. RockFLEET is designed for harsh outdoor conditions, and will reliably transmit location and sensor data from anywhere on Earth with a clear view of the sky.
SmartOne C is, by design, hard to locate once installed. Battery powered and affordable, it utilizes the Globalstar constellation which isn’t global, but has great coverage over Americas, Western Europe, Australasia and much of Africa.
Orbcomm ST2100 is very cost effective and designed for low power consumption. It has flexible I/O interfaces including serial RS232.
Driver Safety
RockSTAR is a handheld tracker and two-way communication device that utilizes the Iridium satellite constellation, delivering 100% global coverage.
It has an incredible battery life of 12 months, and is rugged tough, making it the ideal safety device to distribute to drivers.
RockSTAR has an emergency alert feature, a countdown timer, dead man’s switch, and temperature alerts. It can also transmit wearables data so you can monitor the wellbeing of your team if required.
