SkyBitz has announced commercial availability of its  newest machine-to-machine (M2M) global systems. The SkyBitz Galaxy series  GTP1000 and GTP1100 are the latest in two-way global tracking and monitoring  systems built on the GLS9602 modem platform.

  The GLS9602 modem combines SkyBitz’s patented Global  Locating System (GLS) technology with the Iridium 9602 short burst data (SBD )  transceiver and can be integrated into a variety of asset tracking systems.  These can then provide connectivity to even remote locations on Earth via the  global satellite communications network operated by Iridium Communications Inc.

  The new Galaxy series delivers operations managers  unparalleled total asset and cargo visibility worldwide—even if those assets  are unpowered. The GTP1000 and GTP1100 impart a lower total cost of ownership  through reduced capital expenditures, optimized asset usage, elimination of  lost assets, tracking of stolen assets, and improved customer service.

  The Galaxy series is designed to provide flexibility in  device installation, maintenance, and operation, lasting longer to decrease  cost of ownership. It is built tough to withstand harsh environments, and small  enough to fit into the grooves of containers. The GTP1000 introduces instant  installation verification via built-in LED lights, eliminating guesswork. The  external antenna in the GTP1100 allows for flexible and stealth installation.  Built for better efficiency, the Galaxy series supports more streamlined  reporting processes and intelligent messages for better visibility of business  operations and faster, richer information about the asset and its environment.  The system also allows for more intelligent and responsive self-diagnostics,  allowing for over-the-air troubleshooting.
