ARGO Tracker Selects Iridium to Supply Global Satellite
Links for Asset Tracking Technology
Iridium Satellite today announced that it has been
selected by ARGO Tracker Corporation to provide long-range
data links for ARGO Tracker’s real-time, global
asset tracking solutions.
ARGO Tracker will incorporate the Iridium 9601 short-burst
data modem into its asset tracking system to provide
global coverage in areas beyond the reach of terrestrial
wireless networks.
The ARGO Tracker system involves a robust design, incorporating
client-driven, custom configurations using GPS, other
sensor capabilities and a Web-based user interface application.
The system offers complete asset visibility throughout
all phases of the supply chain from origin to destination.
Mike Hammons, chief executive officer of ARGO Tracker,
said, “The addition of Iridium connectivity to
our global product suite greatly enhances our value
proposition to our customers, enabling international
companies to manage their assets globally with a single
technology solution, while also enhancing the security
and maintaining the integrity of their shipments.”
Don Thoma, Iridium executive vice president, said,
“ARGO Tracker is a perfect example of how Iridium’s
short-burst data service can be leveraged to provide
large-scale, enterprise-wide solutions for asset tracking
and monitoring on a worldwide scale.”
“The Iridium-enhanced ARGO Tracker will permit
companies to achieve rapid return on investment by reducing
customer churn, decreasing operating expenses, improving
margins and security, while concurrently fulfilling
new and proposed regulatory mandates,” added Hammons.
