Product Description Summary Draft 2


According to Global Tracking Technology’s website, they have invented a tracking product SC2 that is highly configurable to accurately track and oversee land, marine and tactical assets operating in the most isolated, dangerous or challenging of environments. SC2 is hardwired to the asset and integrates advanced mobile technology to yield accurate positional and management information to within two metres worldwide. It provides diversified clients with the most economical satellite solution available for both fixed and mobile applications. Apart from tracking and monitoring any assets instantaneously, it also provides security features. Clients chose SC2 as it is easy to install on their applications, require low maintenance and long-life solutions. SC2 provides web-based solution for clients to easily access and an overview of their assets via internet connection globally.

SC2 is selected over the common container tracking devices such as Tetis and Trackingapack due to the extra security features that SC2 provide which is not found in the two products as mentioned. From Global Tracking Technology’s website, SC2 offers various sorts of application such as “container tracking and integration with container tracking software”, “asset security”, “ship and boat tracking and security”, “buoy tracking”, “barge tracking”, “machinery tracking and security”. All these features can not only help to track the accurate movement of various containers but also ensure that the containers can arrive to their destinations safely by transports which operates either on land or ocean. As opposed to Trackingapack, from the Trackingapack’s website, it only states that it will trigger the sirens if there is slight intrusion. Unlike Trackingapack’s features, according to Tetis’s website, it states that its products can “provide fact reports in any event of cargo’s loss and theft”. All these features as mentioned above for the two products are also present in SC2 as stated in the Global Tracking Technology’s website. The true selling point of the SC2 as opposed to both Trackingapack and Tetis, as stated in Global Tracking Technology’s website, SC2 utilises satellite tracking. Satellite communication has a farther range and thus has a higher location accuracy as compared to that of cellular LBS system and proximity RFID tag. This key feature has conclusively made SC2 more outstanding in contrast with Trackingapack and Tetis.

Overall, SC2 can track containers more accurately than most products due to the usage of satellite communications and multiple types of tracking such as buoy, barge and machinery tracking. It is also equipped with security features such as built in internal sensor which helps to “manage security concerns when high value assets are at risk” and external sensors which “provides additional capabilities to meet the demands of real-time security, alarm reporting and asset conditions”. SC2 would thus stand out more than most products and be a more sensible choice when it comes to choosing a hardware for asset tracking and security.
