LandSea Systems announced their introduction of eCTrack in the US, the latest in Inmarsat-C satellite technology, manufactured by Thrane & Thrane of Denmark.
The eCTracks provides global communications via email, provides mobile to base, base to mobile and mobile to mobile communications. The eCTrack also performs the function of automatic position reporting (tracking) of vehicles and vessels and supports the x.25 file compression at the Land Earth Stations (LES). The x.25 compatibility accommodates users that are transferring large quantities of files or polling for numerous position reports.
The eCTrack is ideal for government, military and companies who want to know the location of their assets and personnel at all times regardless of location or time.
The TT-3026L/M eCTrack system is the fourth generation of Inmarsat-C systems designed by Thrane & Thrane. The eCTrack is a unitized design where the omni-directional antenna, transceiver and GPS are packaged in one unit.
This will meet customer requirements for Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) and E-mail applications. The eCTrack, like previous Inmarsat-C Systems is a reliable way of transferring messages, loading and uploading information and route planning.
The eCTrack features an advanced sleep mode function, which will reduce typical power consumption to between 11mW and 28mW depending on reporting intervals. The system also comes with Input and Output ports. The Input/Output Ports can be controlled remotely using the Capsat (R) Manager 3.5 software program.
