Solara Remote Data Delivery, a provider of wireless data communications devices, has rolled out the Field Tracker 2100, an interactive text messenger with automatic GPS tracking and two-way communication. The new tracker device operates over the Iridium satellite network, making it a handheld device with on-screen interactive text messaging and GPS tracking services.
Solara said that the new tracker device puts automatic position reporting, bidirectional text messaging, GPS utility functions and an intuitive two-way emergency alert notification system into a handheld device. The new Tracker device reportedly incorporates an Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) modem, allowing its two-way, low-latency Iridium-based service to be available globally.
Additionally, built-in power saving features are expected to allow users to turn it on and let it run automatically for days depending on the user’s configuration choices, the company said.
According to the company, the online web-based client interface for the new tracker device includes tracking of multiple units with online maps, reading and sending text messages to individual Field Tracker 2100 units and the ability to broadcast to multiple units. In addition, forwarding of text messages by email and automated telephone contact are standard features of the web-based client interface. Units can be remotely controlled, including changing the time interval between position message transmissions.
Tom Tessier, president of Solara, said: “The Field Tracker 2100 is the communications link that provides safety and peace of mind to anyone on a global basis. We are excited to answer the needs of discriminating users looking for a high reliability communicator with fast 2-way communications, built for the toughest field conditions.”
