GTC helped provide the technology that made it possible for a group of modern day explorers to retrace the steps of 1930\u2019s explorer\/adventurer Henry \u2018Gino\u2019 Watkins.<\/p>\n

Led by Jeff Allen, the team will explore the Arctic and North Atlantic islands of Faroe, Iceland and the East coast of Greenland with GTCTrack used to display GPS location information of the vessel on its voyage.<\/p>\n

The Challenge<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.6″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n

Jeff’s thirst for adventure is in his blood. His latest expedition will take the team from Falmouth, UK to explore remote and expansive Arctic islands of Faroe, Iceland, Greenland – some of the most remote regions of the world where traditional communications systems are non existent or cannot be relied upon.<\/p>\n

Jeff approached GTC with two requirements: Tracking to allow followers back home to follow the progress of this adventurous voyage as well as voice to ensure they can call for help when necessary.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”900px” module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”39px”]<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.6″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n

Travelling in Arctic regions leaves one choice for communications – Iridium. This is because this satellite network is the only one to offer 100% global coverage.\u00a0 It is heavily utilised by Arctic explorers who need equipment they can rely on.<\/p>\n

To meet the tracking requirements we equipped Jeff with one of the latest satellite asset trackers available – the Iridium Edge Solar.\u00a0 The Iridium Edge Solar is a compact satellite asset tracker powered purely by solar energy, making it perfect for tracking and monitoring valuable assets anywhere in the world. This device reports its positioning into GTCTrack to record a GPS map of the journey with live tracking available for followers back home.<\/p>\n

We paired this with the Iridium GO! for data services which provides a satellite WiFi hotspot capable of downloading critical satellite weather and ice imagery and updating social networks with brief updates.<\/p>\n

The Results<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.6″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n

This communications setup provides the vessel with everything they need to communicate onboard for both regular and emergency communication. This kit is great for expeditions that have a large following of followers back home, as the live tracking contributes to engagement while increasing safety awareness.<\/p>\n
