Feb. 12, 2025

 Global Telesat Communications Ltd ("GTC") has been awarded a new satellite-based asset tracking services contract from a global humanitarian aid customer (the "Customer") following a public tender.

Under the new contract, the second awarded to GTC by the Customer, it will provide Iridium Edge® Solar satellite asset trackers and recurring airtime services contracts to the Customer who will utilize the products to monitor and track assets such as vehicles, heavy machinery and shipping containers typically deployed in challenging environments. The award follows feasibility and effectiveness testing of various satellite-based tracking systems and technologies to help reduce the risk of loss or theft of these high value assets. The initial one-year award includes the option to extend the contract for up to an additional two years.

"The Iridium Edge Solar tracker is an ideal solution for large, global organizations who operate in diverse geographies, especially in areas where access to reliable communications infrastructure is lacking or unavailable. We are pleased to expand our relationship with this humanitarian aid customer and look forward to further supporting its efforts to stay connected with the critical assets that enable them to complete their important, life-saving global missions," said David Phipps, President of NextPlat and CEO of Global Operations, and Managing Director of Global Telesat Communications.
