Blue Sky Network's Satellite-Based Asset Tracking Solution Now Available for Land and Marine Vehicles

Posted on: Tuesday, 30 January 2007, 12:00 CST

Blue Sky Network, the global logistics solution provider for two-way linking and managing transportation assets via satellite, today announced that it has begun initial shipments of its D2000M/MD product line. This conveniently sized satellite terminal provides customers with real-time position reporting of land-based vehicles and water-based vessels over the Iridium satellite network, as well as two-way messaging capabilities and GPS mapping, including Google Earth integration, courtesy of Blue Sky Network's interactive Web portal, SkyRouter.

The D2000M/MD addresses the needs of mobile asset managers including those working with large/small trucks, tractor-trailers, lone-workers, container ships and more. With its lightweight 2.2-pound form factor, it makes the most of limited storage space available on many transportation assets. Additionally, since its battery runs over 24 hours in a single charge, users without access to electricity can still maintain constant communication with their dispatch offices.

"Fleet managers are excited to use our product," said Jon Gilbert, president of Blue Sky Network. "It offers them a way to easily track their boats, trucks, cars and other various assets. The D2000 will prove to be an essential part of our customers' mobile asset management systems, vastly improving both safety and efficiency."

Building on the strengths of its aircraft flight tracking solutions, Blue Sky Network's D2000M/MD not only features next-generation technology from Iridium and much smaller form factor than previously available, but also is priced very competitively. The satellite asset-tracking unit is the size of a car stereo and can be easily installed on a vehicle or vessel for instant, global two-way text messaging communications.
