How we support your solution development
After over 30 years of building our own IoT solutions, we’ve learned a thing or two. Let us help you get to market faster than ever.
ORBCOMM development kits include everything you need to test your solution:
- A desktop or development terminal
- Software suite including a development environment and sample code
- Cables
- Airtime
Terminal apps: Our terminal apps can be used as is to provide you with building blocks for your IoT solution or can be fully customized to meet your needs. Choose from almost a dozen different terminal apps with a variety of different uses, including ones that:
- Provide event-based reports for location tracking, vehicle status and driver behavior monitoring.
- Remotely monitor SCADA systems.
- Quicken development of navigation, dispatch and in-vehicle communication features using Garmin devices.
Professional services: For those complex technical challenges, our team of highly qualified field application engineers (FAEs) are ready to help. With years of experience solving technical challenges with ORBCOMM technology, our FAEs can deliver a wide range of services including:
- Detailing customer requirements
- System or application consulting
- Custom software development
Technical support
Technology is great, but sometimes you just need to speak to someone to answer a technical question, help debug an app or just bounce ideas around. We have a global best-in-class multilingual sales, services and technical support team that can help you with orders and billing, provisioning and commissioning, troubleshooting, LUA and app software support, backend development support, satellite gateway support and more.
Customer use case: fleet management
An industrial production company wanted to ensure staff travelled safely between its facilities. Our partner, Machinestalk, developed a fleet management solution that combined an ORBCOMM dual-mode terminal with integrated seatbelt sensors to monitor driver misconduct such as sharp cornering and speeding. We worked with Machinestalk to understand the customer’s requirements and provided development and quality assurance resources to design, code and test the terminal software.
Since Machinestalk intended to sell this solution to multiple customers, we ensured that the software was flexible enough to handle different requirements. We also provided on-site support for a trial and provided ongoing support throughout the development journey.
“ORBCOMM’s field application engineers helped us to meet tight customer deadlines and exceed customer expectations by working closely with us and allowing us to leverage their technical expertise.”
Machinestalk’s solution met their customer’s current and future needs, significantly improving driver safety. Using the ORBCOMM AVL terminal app saved Machinestalk months of development time, allowing them to get their solution built faster.
Customer use case: crop monitoring
An agribusiness wanted to track the location and environmental conditions of their soybean storage bags to deter theft and ensure quality. Our partner, Wiagro, developed a crop management solution that combined an ORBCOMM satellite terminal with temperature, humidity and CO2 gas sensors, a solar panel, and a microcontroller, all integrated with backend software.
ORBCOMM worked with Wiagro to understand customer requirements, develop terminal software, integrate with third-party components and test the solution. The solution reported daily unless error conditions were reached, in which case an alarm was sent. If movement was detected, an alarm was sent to indicate the possibility the storage bag was being stolen.
“ORBCOMM’s technology, combined with the expertise of their field application engineers, helped us deliver a solution on time that exceeded customer expectations.”
The solution minimized data transmissions, reduced data costs and provided optimal reliability, enabling Wiagro’s customer to monitor their harvest remotely and cost-effectively. By using ORBCOMM’s FAEs, Wiagro kept costs low, reducing staff requirements and time to market.
