Our Network

The ORBCOMM network uses low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites to provide cost-effective tracking, monitoring and messaging capabilities to and from anywhere in the world. Similar to two-way paging or e-mail, the system is capable of sending and receiving two-way alphanumeric packets of data. These short, economical messages increase the efficiency of your remote operations by making critical information readily available – even from locations far beyond the geographic and economic reach of traditional systems.

This satellite network is complimented by agreements with Tier-1 GSM and CDMA cellular carriers who provide a cellular backbone for ORBCOMM service when your devices are within range.

Plus, ORBCOMM provides the tools you need to manage both your communications and your device itself remotely thanks to our unique Web-based service platform.
