The Dubbo ground gateway is located 260 miles northwest of Sydney in central New South Wales, equidistant from the commercial centers of Brisbane and Melbourne on the Newell Highway.  In addition to Eastern Australia, AeroAstro has installed 9 other decoders across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Western Australia.

“Intelligent logistics management using large numbers of simplex data sensors offers a way to align big issues like industrial energy efficiency, reductions in transportation emissions, and increased productivity for economic growth.” said David J. Goldstein, Executive VP and GM of

the Communications and Sensor Systems group at AeroAstro.  “The extension of coverage in Australia adds further to our ability to manage resources in ways that benefit individuals, businesses, and society.  AeroAstro is truly honored to be part of emerging global solutions in this area.”

The Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS) Appliqué, a proprietary digital signal processing infrastructure component installed at key Globalstar ground stations such as Dubbo, receives and decodes asset tracking and monitoring data from field transmitters via the Globalstar Low Earth Orbit satellite network.  It digitizes RF signals and extracts SENS message packets despite interference or overlapping transmissions, and transmits these messages through the Internet.

The technology provides a total solution that is uniquely affordable and reliable with ubiquitous coverage over most of the globe.  AeroAstro combines infrastructure and asset tag hardware, data portal and communications services, and systems engineering to deliver prices, power savings, compact size and ease of use previously unimaginable from satellite communications.  To order remote tracking hardware, transmitters, or data management services, please visit AeroAstro’s web based storefront at www.sensservice.com.
