Satellite And Cellular Connectivity Ensure Operational Efficiency, Cost Reduction, And Increased Security In Cargo Transportation
To monitor cargo in hard-to-reach locations, satellite connectivity is necessary, as these areas do not have cellular Wi-Fi signal. In these cases, especially for large companies in the logistics sector, the ideal solution is the implementation of a hybrid asset tracking solution to manage the extensive fleet of vehicles and containers across the country.
One of the companies that offers this type of service is Geoforce Brasil, considered a global leader in providing resilient tracking and asset monitoring solutions based on satellite and cellular technologies across different markets.
“This solution can be applied for monitoring the fleet of assets through hybrid tracking devices capable of switching between satellite and cellular connectivity, depending on the location and the specific needs of each asset. For urban areas and high-density cellular network zones, cellular connectivity can be used, taking advantage of the speed of data transfer and unlimited plans. For operations in remote and oceanic areas, satellite connectivity can be automatically activated, ensuring global coverage and accuracy in locating assets, even in isolated locations,” explains André Chaboudet, General Manager of Geoforce in Brazil.

The trains in the Netherlands have 2,000-watt laser cannons that vaporize leaves at 5,000 °C on the tracks — and England invented the technology, but gave up on it in 2002.

Regarding satellite coverage, the entrepreneur points out a major advantage in cases of communication failures in remote areas: no asset goes off the radar, regardless of its location. This way, it is possible, for example, to improve security and prevention against theft and loss, ensuring the integrity of what is transported, as well as reducing delays and optimizing transport routing.
