Choosing a Satellite Network

Which network fits your vehicle tracking requirements?

FMS offers the choice between two satellite networks to communicate data between the GPS modules deployed in vehicles and the FMS Fleet Central web based reporting and mapping system. FMS provides this data service as a VAR partner with both Iridium and ORBCOMM and delivers the entire fleet management and GPS asset tracking solution.

IridiumThe Iridium satellite network is the only provider of truly global satellite voice and data solutions. The Iridium constellation consists of 66 low-earth orbiting (LEO), cross-linked satellites and has multiple in-orbit spares. Iridium delivers essential communications services to and from remote areas where no other form of communication is available including the extreme northern and southern latitudes.
