<MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Jan. 18 /CNW/ -- Globalstar, the world's most widely-used handheld satellite phone service and provider of satellite voice and data services to business, announced today the commercial availability of Globalstar Quick Locate Service, which enables businesses and individuals to reliably and affordably track assets that are remotely located or in areas that are not covered by traditional wireless services. With monthly service fees as low as $39.95 (CDN), Globalstar Quick Locate provides an excellent option for companies and individuals seeking a reliable and cost-effective asset tracking solution. Globalstar saves companies additional funds and streamlines implementation by including an easy-to-use, no-cost web tool that enables customers to quickly access location coordinates of the asset being tracked. Potential applications for Globalstar Quick Locate include tracking trucks, containers, machinery and workers in the forestry, oil and gas, maritime, transportation and mining industries. Additionally, individuals or government agencies can use Globalstar Quick Locate Service to track the position of any potentially mobile asset such as vehicles, marine vessels, or other property. The high reliability of the Globalstar Quick Locate Service is derived from a process where each telemetry unit transmits each message multiple times, minimizing the chance of message failure within the Globalstar Quick Locate coverage area. Companies can choose between one of two Globalstar-approved telemetry products: the Guardian Sentinel, developed by Guardian Mobility Corporation, and the AXONN AXTracker, developed by AXONN, LLC. These products have been designed to automatically transmit a 9-byte message of GPS coordinates six times daily through the Globalstar satellite network. Globalstar Quick Locate Service and products are designed as a ready-to-use product and can be purchased directly through any of the 375 Authorized Globalstar dealer locations across Canada. The products can easily be mounted by customers to the asset that requires tracking or monitoring, or can be installed by most dealers. Quick Locate Service is available for Canadian and U.S. Globalstar customers to track assets in the majority of the following areas: the United States, Canada, Europe, Western Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and the North Atlantic. Complete coverage details are available from Authorized Globalstar dealers. "Remote asset monitoring has traditionally been expensive and difficult to implement," said Steven Bell, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Globalstar LLC. "Now, Globalstar Quick Locate service makes it possible for both large organizations and individuals alike to easily and inexpensively monitor the position and movement of virtually any type of asset via satellite. Anything from a rail car to an RV can be equipped with a device that allows it to be reliably tracked using a simple web interface." In addition to providing the highest quality satellite voice services available today, Globalstar continues to expand its ability to provide low cost, satellite-based data acquisition tools. Recently, the company made significant upgrades to the ground- based portion of its infrastructure in order to provide expanded, reliable coverage for individuals, industries and government agencies that demand the ability to track and monitor assets in areas where other wireless options are unavailable or cost prohibitive. ... continued...>http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/January2005/18/c3930.html Mqurice
