About the Orbcomm Satellite Network
ORBCOMM (www.orbcomm.com) operates the only global commercial wireless messaging system optimized for narrowband communications. The system consists of a global network of 29 low-Earth orbit, or LEO, satellites and accompanying ground infrastructure. The company’s two-way communications system enables customers and end-users, including large and established multinational businesses and government agencies, to track, monitor, control and communicate cost-effectively with fixed and mobile assets located anywhere in the world.

The Orbcomm system boasts near real-time data transfer in Australia and New Zealand. Approximately 50% of messages are delivered in under 2 minutes to both countries. In NSW, VIC, SA and TAS, approximately 90% of messages are delivered within 6 minutes, and approximately 98% of messages are delivered within 9 minutes.

Unlike some other satellite technologies, Orbcomm 100% guarantees message delivery.

Back to Base Security


With the mi-Trek system you can have a Back to Base alarm system for your Caravan or Motorhome. The mi-Trek GPS system can be linked to:

Door switch:
detect unauthorised entry to your caravan or motorhome - be alerted by SMS text message or email (can be sent to multiple recipients).

Duress button/pendant/wristband:
mi-Trek recommends the Inovonics range of Duress pendants and wristbands. The system can also be linked to a standard in-vehicle panic button.

Smoke Detector
mi-Trek recommends the Innovonics wireless smoke detector for caravans and motorhomes. Be alerted when your smoke alarm activates - alerts are sent by SMS text message or email
(can be sent to multiple recipients).

Road Accident detection
The mi-Trek system can also be linked to an Accelerometer - detect whether a road accident has occurred. Again, alerts are sent by SMS text message or email (can be sent to multiple recipients).

Siren or Flashing Light
The mi-Trek unit can also activate an in-vehicle siren or flashing light if an alarm (door switch, duress, smoke detector, etc.) occurs.



Vehicle Position Update on demand


The package includes a Poll ("get position now") feature. Using your mobile phone you can manually request the location of your vehicle using a standard text message. The result of your Poll is available on the mi-Trek website (no additional software required), approx 1-2 minutes later.

On demand, determine the location and view your vehicles on the map, together with speed, heading, closest road, closest suburb/town, co-ordinates and a link to Google Maps for additional mapping and satellite photographs of the location.





Periodic Vehicle Position Update


The tracking unit can be configured to automatically update the vehicle position on a prescribed interval eg. hourly, daily or weekly.


Emergency Duress Button or Pendant


An Emergency Duress Button or Pendant can be installed in your vehicle - when activated, a message is sent from the tracking unit to the mi-Trek Basestation – alerts are then sent to you (as many recipients as you like) by email or SMS Text Message.




Respond quickly to emergency situations. Take quick, immediate and responsive action if your driver is involved an emergency situation.

Mi-Trek has several choices for tracking and security systems for Caravans and Motorhomes, depending on the coverage you require (Telstra GSM mobile network coverage, Telstra NextG mobile network coverage, or Nationwide Orbcomm Satellite Network Coverage), or the number of position updates you need (eg. just on demand, weekly, daily or even hourly updates are possible).
