Secureseal signs agreement with Axonn, a US-based pioneer in global satellite tracking technology
Secureseal has been appointed as Master Value Added Reseller (VAR) for the European Union (EU). Utilising low earth orbit satellites, Axonn has developed innovative technology for wireless global one-way communication and tracking of fixed and mobile assets. Secureseal has integrated Axonn technology with its own low powered RFID technologies to create SecureTrac, a new web-based asset tracking system.
SecureTrac is the first-ever system designed to provide extended operation without external power source. This makes it very appealing for tracking shipments and assets including containers, swap bodies, rail wagons and other assets. By enabling significant improvements in asset management and logistics, Secureseal sees huge commercial potential for the technology and will spearhead business expansion across the EU.
To provide ubiquitous coverage around the globe, Axonn utilises the Globalstar low earth orbit (LEO) mobile satellite system, the world's most widely used satellite communication network. Through SecureTrac, assets are located using Google Earth with current positions shown on a satellite image, aerial photograph or map.
Enfield-based Secureseal has already a well established client base in the transport sector with its market-leading security seals and RFID trailer monitoring systems. Supplying worldwide, Secureseal is part of the OEM Group that also has an established international business base. Axonn is headquartered near New Orleans and has pioneered the commercialisation of satellite and radio frequency-based hardware since 1985. The exclusive provider of hardware for Globalstar, Axonn has over 11 million units in operation.
"Like Secureseal, Axonn's focus is to provide cost efficient, low power; ultra-reliable, secure monitoring devices. SecureTrac represents a perfect marriage of technology, bringing to market a true breakthrough solution that we really believe will revolutionise logistics, security and the management of assets." Says Ben Grant, Managing Director of the OEM Group, Secureseal's parent.
"Secureseal is the perfect partner for us in the UK and Europe. Not only do they have the technical capability and business contacts, but also a very appealing solution with SecureTrac. This development is a big step toward realising the enormous potential for Axonn technology and we expect will be the start of a revolution in asset and shipping management for European organisations." Says Chad Holsinger, Axonn Vice President of Sales and Marketing
