ORBCOMM Inc. announced that it has launched a new solar-powered asset tracking solution that enables fleets of any size to cost-effectively monitor trailers, intermodal containers and other transportation assets and gain operational visibility. ORBCOMM will be showcasing its latest transportation IoT offering at booth 327 during this year's IANA Intermodal Expo from September 11-13 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, CA. ORBCOMM's new solution, which is part of its award-winning CT 1000 product line, offers unparalleled value for fleet and intermodal managers looking to monitor asset location, start/stop motion status and configurable alerts a few times a day.

With access to critical movements via geofencing through the ORBCOMM platform, fleets can estimate arrival times, detect misuse or unauthorized use of their assets and quickly deploy correct measures to mitigate delays that impact operations. This addition to ORBCOMM's best-in-class asset tracking portfolio delivers the power of IoT technology to transportation customers so they can simplify fleet management, optimize asset utilization, enhance customer service and potentially win more business. The solution is designed with a rugged enclosure and is IP67, IP69k and ATEX Zone 2 certified to handle virtually any environment.

It can be installed in as little as one minute per asset and is built to require no manual attention after installation due to its solar-powered battery and over-the-air updates. In addition, ORBCOMM's global SIM provides unmatched, multi-network 4G LTE cellular connectivity with 3G/2G fallback to support trailers and intermodal containers no matter where they roam.
