rbcomm Inc has launched its next generation solar-
powered GT 1200 series of devices as part of a
comprehensive telematics solution that includes multiple
sensor options, user-friendly applications and reliable cellular
and optional satellite connectivity for hassle-free trailer and
container tracking.
The GT 1200 series is an evolution of Orbcomm’s GT 1100 product
line and includes an enhanced, high-sensitivity solar panel that
charges up to 20 times faster than its predecessor even without
direct sunlight, resulting in up to three times more messages per day
for increased asset utilisation.
The compact devices are ruggedised to withstand extreme
conditions, require no battery changes for up to 10 years and
include built-in tamper and impact detection. The GT 1200 series
also can easily be confi gured with Orbcomm’s integrated cargo
sensor and other wireless sensors. With a new streamlined design,
the devices can be installed externally on all cargo asset types in
about 10 minutes, even when the asset is full, making customer
deployments quick and effi cient with minimal disruption to their
operations.
“Orbcomm’s new GT 1200 series is part of our comprehensive
innovation plan to enhance nearly all our products to expand our
existing capabilities and provide customers with advanced
technology and unmatched value,” said Marc Eisenberg, Orbcomm’s
CEO. “With expanded support for wireless sensors, an improved
solar panel and safer, faster fi eld installation, the GT 1200 product
line features the latest in asset tracking technology and offers
incremental benefi ts to our transportation customers looking to
streamline their fl eet operations and gain effi ciencies.”
