Act. The OODAkit™, keeps people connected even when
there is no power or network available by providing worldwide internet
access and phone service via satellite. The kit’s four main integrated
components are a satellite terminal, phone system, Wi-Fi Network and
power, which enable the user to email, text, make calls, hold video
conferences, stream video and more. In remote areas and during
emergencies, traditional wireless and broadband networks either do not
exist or can become disabled. The self-powering and carry-on sized
OODAkit solves this lingering problem by tapping into a global satellite
network (Inmarsat BGAN).

logistics operations in remote, rugged and hazardous regions of the
world. FMS technology mitigates risks for fleets operating in Africa,
the Middle East and the extreme northern latitudes of Canada and Alaska.
Transportation companies find that Iridium satellite tracking offered by
FMS insures that driver communication is maintained with reliable and
near real-time performance regardless of location. For sub-contracting
situations, satellite monitoring in remote regions can ensure that the
primary provider is billed for vehicle operations. FMS also reduces fuel
consumption and cargo theft and it provides an excellent means of
revealing the unauthorized use of vehicles. Personnel safety, security
of assets and cargo, reduced theft and fuel use and efficient use of
assets are the benefits of GPS Fleet Tracking.
