The tracker to contain solar-rechargeable batteries offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of tracking valuable assets.  Near global tracking at an affordable price.

How it Works

Installation

Installation is quick and easy - there is no need for external antennas or power, simply place on the asset with a clear line of sight to the sky.

Tracking

Globalstar SmartOne Solar is a convenient option for the tracking of valuable assets such as cars, trucks, trailers, cargo containers, construction equipment, boats and any other mobile asset.  The tracker can easily be moved between assets as the need arises. The device can be configured to transmit location up to every 5 minutes to GTCTrack mapping portal. This online system allows you to view historic data, configure alerts and geo-fencing rules on the satellite tracker.

Batteries and Charging

The solar batteries can deliver over eight years of life and lack of sunlight is not a problem as reports can be sent twice a day for several months even in dark conditions.

Messaging

A wide range of options can be configured on the SmartOne Solar including message frequency, movement and motion sensitivity levels.  However, your SmartOne Solar tracking device cannot operate without a messaging plan. GTC offers four subscription plans (Standard Plan, Light Plan, Heavy Plan and Unlimited Plan). Additionally, to receive messages a mapping portal is required.  We offer an add-on GTCTrack service or using your own corporate server is available with a one-off fee. Please note that you must choose one of the mapping options mentioned to receive messages

Configuration

The option to set-up geo-fencing capabilities is also available, you simply need to connect the device to a computer using a USB configuration cable. Once configuration is complete the Globalstar SmartOne is ready to be placed on the asset.

SmartOne Solar Key Features:

SmartOne Solar Global Coverage

With coverage in over 120 countries across the world and many ocean covered areas, the SmartOne keeps you in contact with friends, family and colleagues in areas where mobile phones don't offer a connection, even in the most remote areas of the world.

Standard Messaging Mode

In Standard Messaging Mode, the SmartOne Solar reports its GPS position at regular time intervals that are programmed during the initial configuration process. The message interval can be programmed in 1 minute intervals from 35 minutes up to 45 days and messages will be transmitted regardless of whether the asset is moving or stationary. Alternatively, the device can be configured to send messages only when the asset is in motion with messages transmitted from as little as every 5 minutes.

Reduced Messaging Mode

Reduced Messaging Mode reduces the cost associated with transmitting messages over the Globalstar satellite network by sending messages at a minimal message interval when the asset is stationary or in a defined area and transmitting at a higher message interval when the asset is moving or changing locations.

Theft Recovery/ Geo-Fencing Mode

The Theft Recovery mode allows to you configure the device to differentiate between authorized and unauthorized movement of an asset. While the asset remains in an authorised state the SmartOne Solar will send out infrequent messages. If the SmartOne Solar detects an unauthorised state, such as movement out of a pre-defined area, it can be configured to send out high frequency messages to enable the unauthorised movement to be monitored closely.

Geo-Fencing

In conjunction with GTCTrack, GTC's online mapping portal, the SmartOne satellite asset tracker offers a geo-fencing feature. This allows you to predefine a set of geographical boundaries and be alerted by email when the device enters or exits the geo-fenced area.

Dust & Water Resistant

The SmartOne Solar satellite asset tracker is designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions.

Compatible with Mapping Portals

As Smartone trackers require a mapping portal to receive messages, our GTCTracking portal is an ideal service for providing messaging and real-time information via your GPS location. Please note the £8.50 EX.VAT monthly fee for GTCTrack is applicable per device. If you have your own corporate service or mapping portal set-up, our smartone plans will accomodate with these services, but at an additional charge.
