[Satellite TODAY 08-12-13] Blue Sky Network, a supplier of satellite tracking and communication solutions for aviation, land and marine, announced several new map overlay enhancements to its cloud-based fleet management solution, New SkyRouter.

These new overlays include third-party weather feeds and localized traffic information from Bing Maps. Blue Sky Network also provides an overlay for oil and gas lease block data in the Gulf of Mexico and customer-specific overlays such as pipelines or power lines. These enhancements can be combined with existing asset tracking information to improve a single map view source, allowing operators to manage assets and routing in near real-time based on changing conditions leading to improved fleet efficiency and safety.

New SkyRouter, combined with Blue Sky Network’s tracking hardware, enables fleet managers to stay in constant communication with widely dispersed global assets. Fleet managers can benefit from a combination of data sets pulled from multiple sources into a single platform to display other external factors, which will allow better control overall.
