    Consistent Satellite Coverage
    The Globalstar satellite constellation has constant satellite availability, so there is better coverage at the equator, no need to wait for satellite passes, and greater redundancy than other satellite constellations. This means that there is greater download reliability, and the ability to choose when to upload your data. 24/7 global coverage.

    Low Temperature Protection: 
    For colder climates

    No External Antenna
    Both the GPS receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna are contained within the housing, eliminating the risk of antenna damage that is always a concern with whip antennas on other technologies.

    Flexible Scheduling

    As with all our PinPoint GPS tags, a user-friendly PinPoint Host allows you to schedule GPS location records when you want.

    Sensors
    Receive temperature and mortality data.

    Swift Locations
    Swift locations (or fixes) are more efficient than standard locations, so the tag can record more of them, although they can not be used for virtual fences.

  • Product Applications

    PinPoint Globalstar tags have significant advantages over other GPS tags, having a global 24/7 ability to receive data, and a much more efficient data transfer protocol, which will increase the amount of data you can get from remote download.
