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 Vessel. The mi-Trek GPS system can be linked
to:
•
Door switch:
detect unauthorised entry to your vessel - 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-vessel panic button.
• Water Level
Indicator
The
mi-Trek system can also be linked to a water level indicator
switch. Be alerted when your water level indicator switch
activates - alerts are sent by SMS text message or email
(can be sent to
multiple recipients).
• Smoke Detector
mi-Trek recommends the Innovonics wireless smoke detector
for vessels.
Be alerted when your smoke alarm activates - 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-vessel
siren or flashing light if an alarm (door switch, duress,
smoke detector, etc.) occurs.
Vessel 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 vessel 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 vessels on
the map, together with speed, heading, .closest suburb/town,
co-ordinates and a link to Google Maps for additional mapping
and satellite photographs of the location.
.
Periodic Vessel Position
Update
The tracking unit can be configured to automatically update
the vessel 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 vessel - 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.
