Tracking and messaging in the sky.
Dual Satellite/Cellular Tracking
RockAIR offers real-time location tracking through GPS technology. The RockAIR tracks in cellular, but automatically switches to satellite tracking when you lose cellular coverage — ensuring your team is always connected. RockAIR’s cellular tracking functionality is significantly cheaper than satellite-only tracking, significantly reducing monthly billing.
Emergency Risk Management
If an emergency notification is signalled via the RockAIR, TracPlus will receive this distress and notify your team via in-app notifications, text messages and/or a phone call — allowing you to quickly handle an emergency responsively and effectively. To assist your team further, TracPlus can share vital information and data with rescue agencies when required.
Reliable Two-Way Messaging
RockAIR offers reliable two-way messaging via the Iridium Satellite and cellular networks, compatible with any cellphone, email, TracPlus software or other devices. Send short messages, emails or social media updates, wherever you are, even when out of mobile network range.
