ORBC, a global provider of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, today announced that it has launched its next generation solar-powered GT 1200 series of devices as part of a comprehensive telematics solution that includes multiple sensor options, user-friendly applications and reliable cellular and optional satellite connectivity for hassle-free trailer and container tracking.
The GT 1200 series is an evolution of ORBCOMM's industry-leading GT 1100 product line and includes an enhanced, high-sensitivity solar panel that charges up to 20 times faster than its predecessor even without direct sunlight, resulting in up to three times more messages per day for increased asset utilization.
