[Via Satellite 11-07-13] Quake Global’s Q Pro modems are now compatible with the new satellite M2M platform being introduced by Inmarsat and Orbcomm. All three companies are working together to leverage each other’s complementary technologies and network access to provide worldwide M2M connectivity. The Inmarsat/Orbcomm Q Pro devices are available immediately.

The Q Pro is a small multi-band modem that provides a fully programmable stand-alone M2M solution. Quake’s patented universal communications protocol provides a single uniform set of commands to seamlessly integrate terrestrial and satellite networks. The compatibility of Q Pro with the new satellite M2M platform being introduced by Inmarsat and Orbcomm will result in faster response times, broader global coverage, and enhanced network reliability for asset tracking and management in areas where terrestrial coverage is not available.
