TrackMe II | Satellite Phone Tracking
A compact Thuraya satellite phone attachment that gives users combined global tracking, panic, voice and messaging capabilities. The TrackMe II provides operations staff with near-real time information on the status and location of their organisation’s personnel, vehicles and maritime vessels and the rapid notification needed to respond to an incident.
Attached to a Thuraya satellite phone the personal tracking device acquires its exact location using the latest handheld GPS tracking. It transmits that position information via the local GSM network or the Thuraya satellite network.
The TrackMe II 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 satellite phone can continue to be used as normal while the device is attached.
Tracking
Position reports are sent via GSM or, in non-GSM areas within Thuraya's 120-country footprint, by satellite to the Track24 crisis management software; the C4i Platform. The frequency of reports can be set to whatever operational circumstances dictate, the rate being remotely configurable from the C4i Platform.
The security tracking device can be installed in a vehicle or maritime vessel using an optional docker (see image on the left).
Panic alarm
When the personal tracker's panic button is pressed an audible and visual alarm 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. In addition the TrackMe II Satellite phone tracking device has an automated panic dial-out feature that allows remote listening in as events on the ground unfold.
An optional Wireless Alert Button gives the user the ability to activate the panic alarm or transmit a position report when away from the phone (see image on the left).
