Satellite Communications

Maintain visibility of your fleet in remote areas

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.

Satellite Communications
Why it helps

What Satellite Communications changes

Enabled by the Iridium Edge™ device, EROAD Satellite Communications offers full visibility of the location, status and safety of your remote vehicle fleet. It pairs with the Ehubo2 in-cab telematics device and enables duress or rollover alerts even in out-of-coverage areas. Rollover and collision alerts are delivered through Emergency Alert.

Tracking beyond cellular coverage

When your fleet leaves cellular network coverage, the Iridium satellite network keeps your vehicles within communication range, so you can keep tracking them in out-of-coverage areas.

Robust solution

The Iridium Edge™ satellite modem is made for harsh, rugged environments and is easily paired with your Ehubo2 in-cab telematics device and MyEROAD.

Iridium Satellite Network

The Iridium Satellite network creates a web of coverage encompassing 100% of the planet from Low-Earth Orbit, providing low-latency and weather resilient services unlike any other satellite provider. This makes the Iridium satellite modem capable of tracking vehicles in out-of-coverage areas and enables duress or rollover alerts in these locations.

Capabilities

What it actually does

Flexible data plans

Change your airtime contracts to match your fleet’s operational requirements. Set daily communication limits with duration between location updates as well as messages on priority events.

Least cost message routing

Least cost message routing means you only use satellite communication when you really need it, that is when no cellular coverage is available. Whenever cellular coverage is present your data travels over the cellular network, so you stay in contact while communicating cost effectively.
