Satellite communication for lone workers
Communication matters when someone is working alone.
Lone workers can operate in locations where conventional mobile service is weak, unreliable or completely unavailable. That can make routine check-ins difficult and leave fewer options if an incident develops.
Satellite-connected devices provide another layer of communication. Depending on the device, workers can share their location, send status updates, exchange messages, make voice calls or trigger an SOS when urgent assistance is required.
01
Maintain regular check-ins
Give workers a practical way to send status updates and confirm that they're safe while operating remotely.
02
Improve location visibility
Tracking and location-sharing features can help teams maintain better awareness of workers in the field.
03
Provide another way to raise the alarm
Dedicated SOS functionality provides an emergency option when ordinary mobile communication isn't available.

Satellite tracking for fleets & assets
Maintain visibility beyond the cellular network.
Fleet and asset tracking becomes more difficult when vehicles, equipment and cargo move beyond dependable cellular coverage. Remote sites, offshore operations and long-distance transport routes can all create gaps in conventional tracking.
Satellite asset trackers help extend visibility into these areas by transmitting location and status data through satellite networks. From a single vehicle to larger fleets and high-value equipment, the right solution can help you keep better track of what matters.
01
Track beyond cellular coverage
Maintain location visibility when assets move into remote areas where conventional mobile tracking stops.
02
Monitor valuable assets
Keep a closer eye on vehicles, machinery, trailers, vessels, containers and other high-value equipment.
03
Build tracking around your operation
Choose from compact trackers, configurable devices and long-term solar-powered solutions depending on the asset.

Building a safer lone worker setup?
A single engineer visiting remote sites may need something very different from a large field team working across multiple locations. Tell us where your people work, how they currently check in and what level of communication you need, and our team can help you choose suitable devices.
Lone worker communication FAQs
Keeping people connected in the field.
Lone worker communication can range from simple scheduled check-ins to full two-way messaging, location sharing and direct satellite voice. The right approach depends on the worker, location and level of communication required.
What is a lone worker device?
A lone worker device helps an employee communicate, share their status or location, or raise an alert while working alone. Satellite-connected devices are particularly useful where conventional mobile coverage is unreliable or unavailable.
Why use satellite communication for lone workers?
Mobile networks may not provide dependable coverage in remote sites, rural areas, offshore environments or other isolated locations. Satellite devices provide another communication route that does not depend on the local cellular network.
What is the difference between SPOT Gen4 and Garmin inReach Messenger Plus?
SPOT Gen4 focuses on location tracking, pre-set Check-In and Help messages and SOS. Garmin inReach Messenger Plus provides two-way satellite communication, allowing workers to send and receive messages, share location information and access interactive SOS.
When would a lone worker need a satellite phone?
A satellite phone is useful when direct voice communication is important. A device such as the Iridium Extreme lets a worker make and receive satellite calls and SMS while also providing GPS and dedicated SOS functionality.
Can lone worker devices provide GPS tracking?
Many satellite lone worker devices include location or tracking features, although the exact capabilities vary by product and service plan. Devices should be selected around the level of location visibility and communication your organisation actually requires.
Do lone worker satellite devices require a subscription?
Generally, yes. Satellite trackers and communicators require an appropriate service plan, while satellite phones require suitable airtime. The plan required depends on the device, usage and communication features your team needs.
