SkyBitz, a provider of remote asset tracking and information management solutions, and Iridium Communications Inc., a provider of global mobile satellite services (MSS), have formed a strategic partnership. The companies are developing a two-way, remote asset tracking and monitoring solution through the integration of SkyBitz Global Locating System (GLS) technology with the recently announced Iridium 9602 satellite data transceiver.
The Iridium 9602 is a small, lightweight and low-cost transceiver that enables global, two-way satellite links for low-latency, real-time data transmission. By integrating SkyBitz GLS technology with the Iridium 9602, the companies will create an open architecture and scalable platform that is not restricted to custom mobile terminal hardware.
