It is possible to cancel the alarm notification flag from the platform using the « Cancel Alarm » button so that a real acknowledgement process is possible. It is also possible to add comments or incident reports to a special event.
Secured Email relay

With SendGrid services, we are optimizing the delivery process to ensure customers get more than 99 % of the email sent ! We are using a TLS encryption for the email sent to ensure a maximum security of your messages.
SMS Relay
We managed our own gateway and deliver SMS all over the world thanks to Vonage services. Traksat offer SMS bundle that can be shared among all the units on the platform and SMS is priced from 0,04 usd only. All our package do includes however 10 SMS for free per month to cover the real emergency events that needs to be sent out to remote phones
Voice Alerts
We do optionally offer alerting through a phone call to registered numbers. SMS and Email tends to not be read or not given the needed attention in case of real emergency. A phone call is often the best way to stay updated on an emergency situation ! Globalstar SPOT Gen3 for Corporate and Organizations needs this kind of innovative alerting process !
Various Mapping Options

We can also add on demand layers like natural disaster alerts for example.
Geocoding
Each GPS report is linked to a postal address when geocoding data is available in the area. When generating historic reports it is possible to display addresses of each retrieved GPS position. It can also be used in conjunction with geofencing features of the platform
Historic Reports
It is possible to generate and edit complex history reports either in maps format (online or KML export) either in tabular format (CSV or HTTP). It is possible to search for one or multiple trackers and on any time interval. We keep datas as long as your subscription is valid ! Automatic reports can be sent by email on a daily basis. Even without logging in the platform you can keep an eye on your trackers.
Polygon geofencing
It is used to trigger an alert when one or more units are leaving or entering a defined area. Those alerts can be sent by email and/or SMS and can be categorized as a simple message or a high priority alert. This is particularly helpful to warn when someone enters for example in a dangerous area or is soon arriving at a specific checkpoint.
Dynamic Geofencing
It is used to trigger an alert when 2 or more trackers are in the same predefined radius or when one trackers is getting away from the others. It is particularly useful to secure a convoy of cars for example or get a notification when a group of people are gathering at the same location. Those alerts can be sent by email and/or SMS.
Low battery
When the internal battery is going under 20 %, an alert can be generated so that you never go on the field with low batteries. Low batteries means that you will not have the best signal and this will compromise the security. The power LED will also physically blink red on the unit. The battery alert will be repeated every day once a day until new batteries are inserted.
Movement detection
We do offer software monitoring of the movement so that we can detect when a unit is moving from a location where it is supposed to stay ! It can be used in conjunction with our POI (Point of Interest) management list. This is a complementary service to backup the hardware vibration detection on the Spot itself that can sometimes be late.
