Rogers Communications announced it is launching satellite-powered asset tracking technology with Geotab. Powered by Rogers Satellite, GO Anywhere Plus extends visibility of assets where traditional cell coverage is not available, giving Rogers Business customers near real-time location of critical assets wherever they operate. With Canada's vast geography and resource-based economy, this new capability helps organizations improve uptime, strengthen logistics, and accelerate delivery of mission critical equipment.
Applications include fleet and asset tracking along remote highways and rail corridors, as well as powering automated sensors for sectors like forestry and mining. Only 18% of Canada is covered by traditional wireless networks. Using low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites and Rogers national wireless spectrum, Rogers Satellite enables existing IoT devices to switch seamlessly between Rogers wireless network and satellite-to-mobile service, keeping IoT devices connected in some of the most remote regions of the country.
Rogers will introduce satellite-enabled GO Anywhere hardware this spring.
