It is the objection that kills the sale in heavy freight, mining and farming: “there's no signal on that route.” Being able to say yes, you'll still see it, hands you clients your competitor cannot serve.
With SatLink the vehicle keeps reporting where there is no mobile mast.
The trip doesn't cut out halfway through the route.
Farms, mining, long highways and border regions.
Exactly where there is no signal is where the risk is highest.
It isn't a separate system: it shows on the same screen.
Used on the vehicles that need it, not the whole fleet.
Exact words you can use on the visit. No jargon.
“You say you lose signal on that route. That is what satellite is for: there we keep seeing the truck.”
“And you don't have to fit it to the whole fleet: only to the ones running that route.”
You resell under your own brand. This is who it works for, and with what argument.
Routes with stretches that have no coverage.
Operations in areas with no mobile masts.
Equipment working far from everything.
Where losing track for half an hour is unacceptable.
On the cellular network there is no report at that moment. Satellite coverage solves exactly that: the device keeps reporting where no antenna reaches.
It is charged by subscription and per message, not by data plan, so it is dearer. That is why it reports less often, on purpose.
Long routes through empty country, mining, extensive agriculture, maritime work and machinery on remote sites.
Yes, there are devices that use the normal network when it is there and satellite when it is not, which is what keeps the cost under control.
Ask about satellite coverage before visiting a long-haul client.
