About TransCore’s Sense & Track Trailer
Tracking
TransCore’s
Sense & Track mobile terminal is one of GlobalWave’s
family of compact satellite communication devices. Using a two-way
protocol, it sends reports, receives commands, and can be polled
throughout North America. It utilizes a third generation GlobalWave
satellite modem that allows for fast GPS fixes with an accuracy of 35
feet or better and capable of providing location information in less
than a minute, among the fastest response time in the industry.
GlobalWave satellite trailer tracking products are the most rugged and
power efficient available today. TransCore’s
untethered tracking solutions are capable of providing up to six (6)
years of service on a single integrated battery pack and are easy to
install.
With full sensor suite capability the Sense & Track terminal is able to
show loaded/empty status and provide data from other monitored systems
such as load temperature and tire inflation. By adding cargo and door
sensors, immediate alert notification can be sent when trailer doors are
opened or closed along with empty/full load status information enhancing
security for both the load and trailer, including reduction of theft.
With three ground control stations providing service to five continents,
the GlobalWave network supports customers worldwide including more than
600 commercial fleets throughout North America, the U.S. Department of
Defense, and powers TransCore’s 3sixty
