“We are honored that ORBCOMM’s new, powerful GT 1100 M2M solution has won CTIA’s prestigious award and that we have been recognized for our 14 years of innovation in the M2M industry,” said Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM’s Chief Executive Officer. “We will continue to develop breakthrough M2M products and solutions for our key global markets that will enable our customers to operate smarter and more efficiently than ever before.”
ORBCOMM’s ruggedized, easy-to-install device is designed to fit seamlessly in between the indented spacing on intermodal containers. Its low, one-inch height profile and small form factor are also ideal for tracking and monitoring trailers and other types of cargo assets. The GT 1100 is sensor-compatible and self-powered with solar recharging technology for low power consumption, which works well for tracking and monitoring other remote unpowered assets such as construction and mining equipment. The GT 1100 can also be paired with a robust software application, CargoWatch™, for comprehensive device management. In addition, the ORBCOMM GT 1100 can support three modes of communication—satellite, cellular and dual-mode, which blends satellite and cellular capability.
Nearly 300 entries in the CTIA E-Tech Awards competition were judged by a panel of highly-respected industry experts, reporters and analysts. Submissions were scored on innovation, functionality, technological importance, implementation and overall “wow” factor.
