TrackMe
TrackMe combines the voice capability of a satellite phone with a tracking and emergency alert facility.
It provides operations staff with near-real time information on the status and location of their organisation’s personnel and the rapid notification needed to respond to an incident. Fully integrated into the Track24 C4i platform, the TrackMe becomes an essential tool for personnel operating in remote areas.
Attached to a Thuraya satellite phone the device acquires its exact location using the latest generation GPS processor. It transmits that position information via the Thuraya satellite network.
TrackMe has been designed not only to track personnel and assets such as vehicles and boats, but also - by virtue of an integral panic alarm - for their security. The phone can continue to be used as normal while the device is attached.
Tracking
Position reports are sent via satellite to the C4i Platform (within Thuraya's 120-country footprint). The frequency of reports can be set to whatever operational circumstances dictate, the rate being remotely configurable from the C4i Platform.
The device can be installed in a vehicle or maritime vessel using an optional docker.
TrackMe has own built-in battery connected in parallel to the handset battery. This provides extra battery life to the handset.
Panic alarm
When the panic button is pressed an audible and visual alarm containing accurate location details will appear on the C4i Platform, allowing operations staff to initiate an appropriate response. The platform will automatically generate SMS and email alerts to specified contacts.
