Flexible communication system

June 2001 Infrastructure

Increasingly organisations are relying on timely enterprise-wide information flow to allow for cost savings and a competitive advantage in today's global business environment. An organisation's assets, however, are not always centralised and may be mobile or located at a remote site where land-based communication links are not available or are cost-prohibitive.

It is for this reason that Startrack Communications offers a cost-effective solution to this problem with a geographical coverage. Through the use of satellite and wireless communications, the company has developed an advanced communication system that enables business to position, monitor, track, control and recover both fixed and mobile assets, as well as enabling monitoring of conditions in remote areas.

The Startrack System enables the efficient control and monitoring of assets in all-weather conditions, around-the-clock, and in near-to-realtime. The system utilises a range of technology including ground based wireless communications, satellite communications and terrestrial networks, with the accessibility and flexibility of business communications such as the world wide web.

Features include:

* Two way flow of data and control information (asset receive and transmit).

* Delivery of information services to clients via phone, cellphone, fax, e-mail, world wide web direct line, etc.

* On-line event scheduling and rescheduling.

* Data security and access control.

* Customisation of applications.

The Startrack system currently provides extensive coverage in the southern hemisphere, including Sub Saharan Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
