GPS Satellite Tracking for Remote Locations

When it comes to tracking assets in some of the world’s most remote locations, "pure satellite" trackers are a powerful solution for businesses. These satellite-only devices don’t rely on cellular coverage, making them incredibly versatile for monitoring fixed or mobile assets across rugged terrains, open waters, or rural areas. All they need is a clear view of the sky to get the job done.

However, it’s important to consider how and where you'll be using these trackers. Pure satellite devices aren’t the best choice for high-frequency, continuous tracking or for areas with reliable cellular service. In those situations, a GPS tracker that uses cellular networks will be more efficient and cost-effective.

Satellite-only trackers really shine when you’re looking at long-haul tracking—such as managing cargo containers moving across land or sea where cellular service can’t reach. So, if you’re monitoring assets that are frequently out of range, satellite tracking is a solid, dependable choice.

Satellite GPS Tracker

When you need a GPS tracking solution that’s ready to go where traditional networks can’t, a “pure satellite” tracker might be the ideal choice. These devices are specifically engineered for monitoring assets—whether stationary or on the move—at an international scale. Unlike cellular-based trackers, satellite-only GPS trackers don’t depend on cellular coverage, which makes them invaluable in rural areas, dense forests, deserts, across open water, and beyond. All that’s required is a clear view of the sky to ensure accurate, reliable location reporting.

But, as with any technology, it’s important to choose the right tool for the job. Satellite GPS trackers aren’t designed for continuous, real-time tracking in places where cellular coverage is robust and reliable. For applications where you need frequent updates on an asset’s location, a cellular GPS tracker is typically more efficient and cost-effective. Satellite-only trackers are most effective for monitoring assets in remote, off-grid areas where cellular service is out of reach—think cargo ships at sea, long-haul truck journeys, and shipping containers on rail or ocean routes.

Whether you’re tracking people, vehicles, or valuable cargo, wilderness areas with limited cellular signals demand a solution that only satellite-enabled devices can provide. They offer you the peace of mind of knowing where your assets are, even when they’re far off the beaten path.
