The announcement comes as
Advanced Tracking recently integrated SmartOne Solar into its www.konectis.com platform, a portal designed for leisure marine users. Konectis features multiple capabilities that are manageable via a dedicated dashboard and user interface that includes an anti-theft alarm system. With the addition of SmartOne Solar, Advanced Tracking is now enabling fleet owners and individual boating enthusiasts to benefit from efficient, ubiquitous satellite IoT enabled vessel tracking.
"In the leisure marine sector, when you own boats in the 10-25m range, budgets matter," said Co-Founder and Managing Director of Advanced Tracking,
"We knew that by integrating SmartOne Solar, we'd have the ideal solution to provide cost-conscious boat owners with an affordable, high-quality solution to track their vessels," Allan noted.
SmartOne Solar - A Low Maintenance, Wide Reaching IoT Device
The Globalstar SmartOne Solar monitors assets of any kind, whether fixed or mobile, including shipping containers, transport trailers, construction/farm machinery and vehicle fleets.
SmartOne Solar provides a low-maintenance and cost-efficient tracking option that is powered with solar-rechargeable batteries and can deliver multiple years of serviceable life. The device operates continuously for many months while reporting twice a day without the need for exposure to sunlight.
Allan points out SmartOne Solar's ease-of-use and cable-free flexibility as major benefits. "The advantage of SmartOne Solar is that it doesn't need connection to a power source, so the device can be positioned in many different points on the boat based on preference," he added: "It is small and easy to install, with good performance quality. Because the device is autonomous, you just install it and off you go."
Allan highlights the growing understanding that satellite connectivity is essential for reliable, ubiquitous coverage, saying: "The user could try other technologies, such as VHF or GSM, but as soon as you are out of range, you've lost track of the boat."
