LOADTRAK
Sasktel, a telecommunications company based in Saskatchewan provides service to customers offering competitive voice, data, dial-up and high speed Internet, wireless, digital television, and e-business solutions.
Their Challenge
The "Loadtrak" solution they were developing was geared towards trucking fleets and delivery vehicles as a means to ensure employee safety and efficiency when making long-haul journeys across Canada and the United States. The system was to be able to track the location of vehicles at any given point as well as measuring mileage, fuel consumption and fuel tax reporting when moving between state and provincial lines.
The Result
To keep the solution cost-effective, it was outfitted with both 1X (terrestrial) and satellite communication platforms to intelligently transition between the two depending on the environment and location the vehicles are in. As one of Sasktel's valued partners, Infosat supplied MSAT hardware for the satellite component, utilizing the PDT-100 terminal for secure packet data transmission between vehicles and head office.
