    ORBCOMM Inc (Nasdaq: ORBC) is offering four innovative asset tracking and monitoring devices targeted for the transportation and logistics market. This product portfolio includes the GT 1000, GT 1200, GT 2000, and RT 6000+, all of which complement the recently announced GT 1100, ORBCOMM’s first self-powered M2M device for intermodal container and trailer tracking and monitoring.

    The ORBCOMM GT 2000 is a dual-mode cargo security and monitoring device that enables location tracking and intrusion detection of cargo containers and other assets through satellite and cellular networks along with GPS capability. This device has a thin, low-profile enclosure that facilitates mounting in between the door and the container or trailer locking bars. In addition, the sensor suite detects door intrusion, motion, and temperature.

    The RT 6000+ is tailored for the refrigerated transport market. This fourth-generation device has been field-tested and proven with more than 75,000 units fielded. This dual-mode, two-way reefer monitoring and control device provides visibility, control, and decision rules to transportation companies worldwide. It provides temperature, fuel management, maintenance, and logistical applications services for refrigerated transportation operations. By leveraging the power of the RT 6000+, users can achieve maximum compliance, efficiency, and return on investment.

    The GT 1000 is a cellular-enabled electronic bolt seal with GPS capability, co-developed with Tyden Brooks. Self-powered, the GT 1000 installs in minutes and is designed for theft prevention and recovery as well as virtual warehouse and in-transit visibility applications. The bolt and locking cap provide a secure truck or container lock and reliably detect cuts or removal in real-time.

    A self-powered device with cellular communications and GPS capability, the GT 1200 is a tracking and monitoring system that provides insight into the status, movement, loading, and unloading of dry intermodal containers. By leveraging dynamic telematics capabilities integrated with intermodal order and event information systems, domestic container operators can use the GT 1200 to improve operations.

    These ORBCOMM devices can be paired with web analytics platforms, which provide near-real-time knowledge and notifications of the assets’ status and location.
