Coverage beyond cellular range with Satellite Communications

When a vehicle drives out of mobile range, it shouldn't disappear off your map. Satellite Communications keeps heavy vehicles visible and your drivers reachable wherever the work takes them, reporting location back to MyEROAD over the Iridium satellite network even with no cellular signal.

Mobile coverage isn't enough

Mobile blackspots are routine if your vehicles work mine access roads, remote stations, forestry blocks or long-haul routes with patchy signal.

The moment a vehicle drives out of range, it vanishes from your map, and if your driver is alone and something goes wrong out there, you have no way of knowing until they're overdue.

For fleets with drivers working alone in isolated areas, that's not an inconvenience, it's a safety gap.

Why Australian fleets need satellite

It's challenging to run your operation if your vehicles go dark. If one of your drivers has a serious crash out of mobile range, you need to know it's happened, and fast.

Satellite Communications sends location and activity details from the Ehubo2 and emergency alerts when there's no signal, so remote vehicles stay reachable for everyday work and emergency response.

Maintain operational visibility

A vehicle that's out of range stays on the map with the rest of the fleet, and an icon tells you it's reporting by satellite.

Respond to emergencies

If one of your drivers has a serious crash or is in danger while out of mobile range - the Iridium Edge device can send the alerts from CaRA and our priority alert button

Supports Safer Together requirements

Vehicles operating on mining sites need telematics and in-vehicle monitoring that meets the requirements of Safer Together - Satellite connectivity forms part of that.

Features

What you get with Satellite Communications

EROAD Satellite Communications is a live GPS vehicle tracking solution that uses the Iridium® satellite network to ensure your vehicles are within communication range, even when your fleet leaves cellular network coverage.

Built for mining and remote-site safety standards

If you work on mining sites, or service them, you're expected to meet the Safer Together standard - in-vehicle monitoring, seatbelt reminders, rollover and collision detection, an emergency alert button, and satellite connectivity.

It's a widely recognised industry standard, and most of our largest customers working in and around mining already meet it using EROAD.

Satellite Communications covers the connectivity piece. EROAD supports fleets to meet the requirements by pairing this with the safety features of the Ehubo2, CaRA and the High Priority Alert Button, and our AI fatigue camera with Seat Shaker where driver fatigue monitoring is also required.
