Blue Sky Network, a leading, global provider of GPS tracking and communication solutions for land, sea, and aviation assets, announced that it is now a service partner of mobile satellite service provider, Iridium Serviçios de Satelites S.A. a subsidiary of Iridium Communications Inc. As an Iridium service partner in Brazil, Blue Sky Network can now provide its satellite-based GPS tracking and remote communication solutions directly to operators of air, land and marine vehicles based in that country. The new partnership expands Blue Sky Network’s global footprint and builds upon its long-standing relationship with Iridium, the world’s only truly global mobile satellite service provider, and a technology innovator and market leader.
The new partnership lays the foundation for Blue Sky Network’s long-term growth in the Brazilian market. The Company recently opened Blue Sky Network Brazil based in Alphaville, just outside Sao Paulo. It currently provides GPS tracking and communication services to numerous civilian and government aviation operations, including TAM, Brazil’s largest airline and Lider, the country’s largest provider of helicopter and executive aviation services.
“We are extremely proud to join an exclusive group of Iridium service partners in Brazil,” said Jon Gilbert, Blue Sky Network’s CEO. “Our comprehensive asset tracking solution that features real time tracking, text messaging, telemetry, and voice communication is particularly well suited to Brazil. The country’s dense and expansive geography provides many obstacles to safe and secure transport and we look forward to helping aircraft and fleet owners overcome these challenges.”
“Blue Sky Network is ideally suited to provide this critical tracking and remote communications service in Brazil,” said Greg Ewert, executive vice president, global distribution channels, Iridium. “Through Iridium's global, short-burst data service, aircraft, vehicle and marine operators will now have access to reliable, two-way, real-time, cost-effective communications throughout Brazil’s huge, remote land swaths, its extensive coastlines and waterways, and in its skies.”
