Rochelle Park, NJ - ORBCOMM today announced that KLOG Transport Solutions, one of Portugal’s fastest-growing logistics providers, has chosen ORBCOMM’s satellite-enabled IoT solution to eliminate cargo visibility gaps for routes with minimal cellular coverage. Powered by ORBCOMM’s OGx technology, KLOG is now better equipped to meet rising demands for data-driven logistics and stricter supply chain KPIs. This capability is especially critical for just-in-time, secured deliveries across industries like apparel retail.

KLOG trialed ORBCOMM’s solution on key European rail routes for a major client and achieved near-complete visibility throughout the journey. The trial’s success, according to Marta Cardoso, General Director of KLOG Transport Solutions, played a vital role in securing the partnership with ORBCOMM.

“We were looking for a solution that could overcome the visibility gaps we experienced when transporting our customers’ cargo across rail corridors with no cellular coverage,” said Cardoso. “ORBCOMM’s satellite asset tracking solution exceeded our expectations during the trial, delivering far superior coverage than other solutions we had tested. It proved itself the right technology to help us deliver better service to our clients.”

According to David Roscoe, ORBCOMM’s President of Satellite IoT, the partnership marks another step forward in ORBCOMM’s mission to enable a safer, more sustainable global supply chain through enhanced visibility.

“KLOG is transforming European intermodal cargo visibility by enhancing their operations with ORBCOMM’s satellite IoT solutions,” said Roscoe. “Together, we’re enabling smarter, more resilient logistics through end-to-end visibility powered by satellite connectivity and purpose-built devices.”

The solution is powered by two recent technology advancements: ORBCOMM’s OGx satellite IoT technology and the SC 1000 device, purpose-built for intelligent global visibility and seamless logistics platform integration. Before these releases, it was cost-prohibitive and highly complex to install satellite terminals to fill these visibility gaps. The SC 1000 is the lowest-cost two-way satellite device and is entirely solar-powered, removing both the cost and complexity barriers.
