[Via Satellite 10-02-13] Orbcomm has completed the acquisition of Comtech Mobile Datacom Corporation’s Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS) operation, which includes satellite hardware, network technology and web platforms. The SENS system, which consists of satellite-based tracking devices, a network hub and an Internet-based back-office platform, enables customers to retrieve and view critical data from the field via the Globalstar satellite network.

The acquisition supports Orbcomm’s multi-network operator strategy and complements its recently acquired GlobalTrak business, which uses Comtech’s SENS technology for its military container tracking applications in Pakistan and Afghanistan, its fuel monitoring program in support of the Defense Logistics Agency, as well as other global deployments.
