This ensures uninterrupted access to mobile assets, regardless of connectivity outages.
What’s more is that, as local GSM connectivity fluctuates, MiX Sat Comms automatically determines and switches to the most economical method of communication – either GSM or satellite.
Critical event notifications are therefore never missed. High-risk or high-value loads can always be tracked. And drivers can always communicate back to their offices in the case of an emergency.
Iridium, a market leader in low latency and global 2-way communication provides fast, reliable and cost-effective communication regardless of connectivity issues.
All communication can be configured to dynamically determine the most cost-effective communication method (GSM vs. satellite) to reduce costs. Data communication and costs can also be managed via configuration.
Active in-trip and out-of-trip tracking points can be configured and sent via satellite communication using least cost routing. Optional driver identification can be included on Iridium packages.
An active event can be sent immediately via the satellite modem using least cost routing, with the option to include a position as well as initiate active tracking. Active events can be configured to obey the daily limit or to ignore.
Fixed command type messages can be sent from MiX Fleet Manager or MiX SafeDrive via satellite. These include requesting a position, start/stop active tracking and temporarily increasing or permanently changing the vehicle’s daily satellite message limit.
