Appareo’s Gateway 360 Bridges the Off-Highway Connectivity Gap for Heavy Machinery

Appareo’s new Gateway 360 keeps deployed assets connected through both local infrastructure and the Iridium satellite constellation

Iridium partner Appareo has released the Gateway 360, an edge computing platform for assets and machinery deployed off the grid. Offering machine control, telematics information, and virtual terminal support, the Gateway 360 provides real-time flexibility to update, manage and monitor deployed asset performance.

As an advanced computing and communications platform for mobile equipment, the Gateway 360 offers an array of solutions for off-highway connectivity challenges. This includes the ability to inexpensively deploy firmware updates over the air as well as a wide spectrum of capabilities that go beyond traditional preventative maintenance and remote support applications.

Since off-highway machines are often used in remote parts of the world which lack cellular coverage, Appareo’s use of the Iridium satellite constellation helps keep assets connected wherever they are deployed. The presence of Iridium connectivity on the device ensures that critical machine data can be sent and retrieved regardless of whether the equipment is on land, in the air, or at sea.

“As one of the select few Iridium partners to integrate our 9603N chipset, Appareo continues to deliver groundbreaking telematics solutions that work anywhere in the world.”

Introducing the HawkEye 5500 Vehicle Fleet Management Solution for Mission-Critical Operations Monitoring

HawkEye 5500 is a first-of-its-kind dual-mode vehicle tracking system that fully integrates with on-board vehicle systems

Iridium partner Blue Sky Network has introduced the HawkEye 5500 (HE5500) vehicle management solution featuring first-of-its-kind full integration of on-board vehicle systems. The device utilizes 2G/3G/LTE and the Iridium satellite network in order to provide truly global coverage, with high resolution tracking and communications.

As the first vehicle tracking system to offer such a comprehensive set of features, the HE5500 supports both light and heavy-duty vehicles, two-way messaging, a remote emergency switch, audible alerts, and customizable application integration. These capabilities facilitate mission-critical operations for vehicle fleets of all sizes including those supporting mining operations, defense, security, public safety, search and rescue, and executive transport in remote environments.

The HE5500 can generate automatic monitoring and alerting on driver safety, proactive monitoring of vehicle health, and analytics about usage, performance, and behavior. This allows vehicle fleets to gain valuable insights while improving safety, reducing operating costs, and streamlining compliance.

 

“The all-encompassing HawkEye 5500 enables vehicle fleets of all sizes the capability to safely and efficiently manage mission-critical operations whether on or off-road,” says Iridium Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Bryan Hartin. “Blue Sky Network continues to be an industry leader in providing advanced technology for mission-critical fleet management.”
