When the opportunity arose to test the latest satellite asset tracker, the Globalstar SmartOne C, on our Managing Director David's latest road trip to Spain we knew it would be a great chance to put the tracker to the test.
Globalstar introduced the SmartOne C, the world's smallest one-way satellite tracker, in 2015.
Key product features include:
- Accelerometer that alerts owners to any unexpected motion
- Ability to dynamically report asset status and monitor faults
- Excellent battery life of over 1.5 years
- Ability to function as stand-alone device - does not require external antennas or line-power
David's SmartOne C was programmed and set-up on our GTCTrack Mapping Portal to transmit every 5 minutes and was then simply placed on the dashboard with a clear line of sight to the sky. As you can see from the screenshots above the tracker provided a complete and accurate record of the journey across the continent.
"SmartOne C was a great way to keep family, friends and colleagues informed of my location on the road. It performed outstandingly and it's ease of set-up meant it didn't interfere with my other pre-trip preparations. At just £100 ex VAT and with minimal airtime costs this tracker is a great option for those wanting to track journeys or keep an eye on assets remotely."
It is worth mentioning that David chose to use the internal battery of the SmartOne C rather than line power to the vehicle - two other battery powered trackers were also used on the journey - both of these have since used up all their power while the SmartOne C is still going strong.
