The GlobalWave system permits two-way, satellite-based data communications in real time to track and manage various fixed and mobile assets, such as trucks, trailers, oil and gas pipeline and wellhead facilities, chemical storage tanks and intermodal containers.

Vistar Datacom said GlobalWave's technology also supports homeland security concerns, giving shippers and carriers of hazardous materials and other dangerous goods the ability to increase security and reduce risk by tracking shipments covertly and without driver involvement.

James Brown Trucking's fleet of 1,500 trailers are used to provide transportation services and additionally are deployed as "mobile warehousing" facilities for customers throughout the Southeastern U.S.
