Bloodhound Tracking Device (BTD) announced a major enhancement to its security-in-transit platform, the integration of an Iridium satellite transceiver in partnership with MetOcean Telematics. This upgrade provides BTD units with uninterrupted global tracking and alert capabilities, ensuring supply chain visibility even in remote or obstructed environments where traditional networks may fail.
“At BTD, our core value is full visibility without compromise,” says Curtis Spencer, CEO of Bloodhound Tracking Device. “By integrating Iridium Short Burst Data (SBD) with MetOcean’s engineering support, we bring that value to life, ensuring that even in the most remote or network-challenged regions, customers’ assets remain seen, monitored, and secure.”
Key takeaways:
· BTD’s advanced technology leverages its proprietary Disruption Tolerant Network (DTN) and mesh architecture, enabling devices to transmit even when buried deep within container stacks, train cars, or obstructed environments.
· Features enable users to receive alerts from containers or equipment mid-ocean or off-grid. Container sensors for temperature, gas, noise, and tamper detection report reliably even when obstructed. And, real-time data improves ETA predictions, reduces “black hole” dwell time, and mitigates theft risk.
· The integration enables pole-to-pole coverage; DTN and satellite synergy; sensor continuity; seamless integration; and a subscription-based model.
