New dual-powered asset tracking device on the Iridium Satellite Network leverages 20 years of IoT manufacturing leadership and rugged-environment innovation.
The GT2s solves these problems as it can operate reliably and provide data consistently in variable lighting conditions for up to 10 years without maintenance through the use of an innovative dual-power system where solar rechargeable batteries are supplemented as needed by a separate high-capacity battery. “The Covid-19 pandemic caused a delay in the 2020 GT2s production schedule, but we’re thankful that the hard work of our team here at Geoforce has put us back on track,” said James Maclean III, CEO of Geoforce. “I’m excited to get the GT2s in the field to allow our government partners to leverage the long-life promised by solar-power with the rugged, maintenance-free utility Geoforce devices provide heavy industry.”
The GT2s will be available for government and authorized customers to use on the US government’s dedicated Iridium gateway through the EMSS contract managed by Air Force Space Command. Iridium’s latest EMSS contract, awarded in September of 2019, enables users to implement global tracking solutions through the dedicated DoD gateway with unlimited satellite airtime included.
Manufactured to the highest ISO 9001:2015 quality standards, the GT2s consistently delivers both the expected performance longevity and reliability from device to device. This means the GT2s is the first solar-powered asset tracking device to satisfy a wide swathe of military, government and industrial uses, particularly for in-transit visibility and situational awareness.
Potential partners and government agencies with interest in the GT2s, as well as the companion GT2c (cellular) and GT2h (hybrid cellular and satellite) should contact Miranda Solutions Group (703-239-3862 or info@mirandasolutionsgroup.com). Miranda coordinates Geoforce’s activities in the global Government/Defense space, managing distribution to primes and subcontractors, as well as all EMSS-related activities.
