[Via Satellite 07-08-2016] Marlink has unveiled Smalltrack, a new compact location-based tracking device operating on the Iridium satellite network. The device can be used in any location without connecting to external power or antenna sources for tracking of personnel, equipment and vehicles.

With embedded battery and antennas, Smalltrack can operate on a single charge for a minimum of one week, with the ability to use external power and antennas if required. The device has manual rescue buttons, automatic alarms based on embedded shock sensors and geo-fencing functions, and comes with a web-based monitoring and management platform to provide deep control of users, devices and data.

Smalltrack measures 123.5 x 76 x 33 mm and weighs 440 grams. The device is rated IP 67 for dust and water protection, and features two manual configurable SOS buttons in addition to 3-axis G-force sensors.
