Blue Sky Network… Determined Duality (SATCOM)

[SatNews] Blue Sky Network has introduced the HawkEye 5300, the first widely-available dual-mode tracking device leveraging GSM and Iridium satellite capabilities.

The HawkEye 5300 offers two-way real time communication which automatically and seamlessly switches between Iridium and quad-band GSM networks. This provides land fleet operators with lower monthly tracking costs while delivering 100 percent global visibility and unmatched safety when most needed. Land fleet operators no longer have to choose between safety, reliability and affordability. Leveraging the reliable Iridium satellite network, the HawkEye 5300 provides uninterrupted tracking even in the most remote regions, thereby ensuring safety for long distance trucking, dangerous remote routes and high security operations, such as high value or hazardous cargo. It also offers instant notification of vehicle operation after-hours or in unsafe zones, and remote Internet-based fleet monitoring. Blue Sky Network’s relationship with GSM service providers ensures cost effective fleet tracking and communications anywhere GSM services are available.

The HawkEye 5300 is part of Blue Sky Networks new series of next generation real-time vehicle tracking and monitoring solutions that are designed to provide more than just GPS location. All HawkEye series devices have an optional LCD touch-screen display, which provides complete two-way text communication with the device anywhere in the world. The HawkEye 5200 offers Iridium-only connectivity and is targeted for vehicles that regularly require anywhere, anytime fleet tracking. The HawkEye 5100 allows true remote monitoring and control anywhere there is comprehensive GSM/GPRS cellular coverage. Fleet operators can mix and match HawkEye devices to provide customized solutions that best meet their needs since the features are common to all Hawkeye devices.
