Quake Global Chosen for Global Telecom Asset Monitoring System

Quake Global and Korea ORBCOMM have been chosen by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. to supply satellite communicators and airtime for its new “Hi-Mate” global communications system for heavy equipment tracking and monitoring.

 

Owners and operators of high-value equipment can use Hyundai’s Hi-Mate, an onboard vehicle monitoring and communications system, to monitor key productivity, usage, location, and performance information.

 

Working as an integral module in the Hi-Mate device, Quake Global’s modems will enable Hi-Mate to communicate through the ORBCOMM (News - Alert) M2M network around the world.

 

Gene Song, CEO of Korea ORBCOMM said that Hyundai will purchase modems and airtime from ORBCOMM’s country representative, Korea ORBCOMM. 

 

Looking forward, Hyundai will expand its telematics system to many series of its heavy equipment and to the after-market. According to Song, initial deployment of Hi-Mate has already begun in North America and soon will be expanded to include additional regions.

“We are delighted that Hyundai has chosen to integrate Quake’s satellite modems into its state-of-the-art ‘Hi-Mate’ communications system,” said Polina Braunstein, president and CEO of Quake Global.

Noting that Hyundai insists on maintaining the highest standards of quality and demands that its suppliers do the same, Braunstein said that Quake Global is globally known for delivering that high quality, and a number of heavy equipment OEMs are currently using Quake Global satellite modems in their tracking solutions.

“Providing these mission-critical modems to HYUNDAI is another major step in Quake Global’s goal to be the dominant supplier of satellite modems to the heavy equipment industry,” she added.
