The choice between satellite and cellular asset tracking depends on the application’s specific needs, the geographic scope of the asset’s movement, budget constraints, and the required tracking accuracy. But why choose one when you can have both? Our GT2h Hybrid Global Asset Tracker is for assets that aren’t always covered within cellular range but, when needed, automatically switches from LTE-Cat M cellular networks to the Iridium satellite network.
