Alcatel, Qualcomm Split Heats Up Satellite Tracking Market By PETER B. de SELDING Space News Staff Writer [So they need a satellite network to handle data traffic... I seem to recall a system that they helped design is under utilized at the moment... From the SHM, PJ was quite excited about finally being able to unleash the marketing efforts in Europe. Did Omnitracs EU (Eutaltracs?) suffer the same stonewalling G* experienced? Jeff Vayda] PARIS — With their partnership in the satellite tracking and data services business now over, Alcatel and Qualcomm have become competitors in that market, shaking up a sector that has been long on promise but short on performance. For the last 10 years Qualcomm and Alcatel had combined forces to offer European customers a satellite tracking and data service called Euteltracs. Using satellite communication links, satellite navigation signals and dashboard mounted keyboards, trucking companies, for example, are able to communicate with drivers and provide customers with precise information about the location of individual trucks and the status of a shipment or delivery. The service is based on Qualcomm’s Omnitracs technology and communications provided by satellites owned by Eutelsat SA of Paris.
