Marlink has launched Smalltrack, a next
generation location-based tracking
device. Featuring a new, compact and
lightweight design, Smalltrack is a
highly accurate mobile solution with
user-friendly operation and
installation. Operating on the Iridium
satellite network, Smalltrack can be
used in any location without connecting
to external power or antenna sources.
The device can be online in minutes,
conveniently providing accurate tracking
of personnel, equipment and vehicles
anywhere in the world.
With embedded battery and antennas,
Smalltrack can operate on a single
charge for a minimum of one week, with
the ability to use external power and
antennas if required. With manual rescue
buttons, automatic alarms based on
embedded shock sensors and geo-fencing
functions, Smalltrack improves safety
and protection for workers and assets in
remote environments while enhancing
reliable situational awareness for
remote operations.
Smalltrack comes with a web-based
monitoring and management platform
designed for ease of use and to provide
deep control of users, devices and data.
The system features high configuration
flexibility for the tracking of air and
ground assets, offering customisable
modes and geo-fencing options to suit
the specific requirements of diverse
users such as sports events organisers,
NGO and Humanitarian organizations or
authorities, in addition to maritime use
including small fishing and leisure
craft. Smalltrack is also useful for
light aircraft operators, where the
system does not need to be included in
pre-flight checks.
“Smalltrack enhances Marlink’s portfolio
of proprietary tracking and safety
solutions, which also includes Iritrack,
our established tracking system with
embedded voice & SMS in a single device.
It allows us to address new market
segments with a lighter & smaller device
where voice and SMS are not absolute
requirements,” said Danny Côté,
President Enterprise, Marlink. “The
device can be moved between vehicles
easily and set-up is quick, while the
interface ensures tracking intervals and
functionality can be customised to the
user’s specific operations, environment
and tracking requirements. It’s suitable
for land, air and maritime applications
where a dedicated tracking device can
provide safety and efficiency gains.”
Smalltrack measures just 123.5 x 76 x 33
mm and weighs 440g, so can easily be
moved between vehicles in order to
provide accurate tracking reports at
user-defined intervals regardless of the
user’s current job. The device is rated
IP 67 for dust and water protection and
features two manual configurable SOS
buttons in addition to 3 axis G-force
sensors. |
