Garmin Offers Trackers and Satellite Phones
Anyone wishing to travel off the grid, whether it be for a long hike, some mountain skiing, or lone personnel operating remotely in remote areas like the woods, uses Garmin devices. In order for emergency contacts, friends, family, or coworkers to follow the device carrier from a single, online hub, we provide a variety of handheld Garmin satellite communicators and trackers that map the location and GPS coordinates of the device carrier.
Keep in contact wherever you are.
Iridium is the only satellite network with true global coverage among those in use, and it is through this network that Garmin inReach® tracking is made possible. No matter where you are in the world, you will always be able to establish a trustworthy connection from one of the Iridium satellites thanks to the network’s 66 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites that work together in a mesh system.
An overview of location tracking
In the 1960s, the Global Positioning System (GPS) was initially developed for use in military and intelligence operations. The GPS system, which consists of a network of satellites orbiting the planet at fixed positions and transmitting signals to anyone using a GPS tracking device, was not deemed complete until all 24 GPS satellites were placed into orbit at the beginning of 1994.
When fleet management teams or remotely operated workforces want to follow people, assets, or vehicles, GPS and position tracking are now considered standard practise.
Three important questions to ask
Which tracker suits me the best?
We provide a variety of potent and sophisticated satellite tracking devices, but for applications like remotely tracking lone workers, we advise using a rugged device with built-in SOS so that, in the event of an emergency, the device carrier can alert and launch a rescue mission to their precise location.
Is a subscription necessary?
A subscription is necessary for Garmin inReach® tracking devices, yes. Consider the several tiers of Garmin inReach Mini subscription plans as an illustration; be sure to select the one that best suits your needs.
What about charging and battery life?
When used in the normal 10-minute tracking mode, a flagship device like the Garmin inReach Mini 2’s internal, rechargeable lithium battery can last up to 14 days and up to 20 days in power saving mode. It comes with a USB cord, allowing charging through the majority of contemporary ports or laptops.
Tracking Cars and Work Equipment
Garmin satellite trackers can be used for more than merely pinpointing the whereabouts of sentient employees. They may also be used to track the movements of expensive goods and vehicles. Through the use of geofencing, a feature where users set or draw a prescribed or custom boundary and, if their asset or vehicle crosses beyond the boundary lines, receives an alert to notify them that their vehicle is on the move, allowing them to act accordingly, users can be certain that their belongings are where they are supposed to be at all times.
