Iridium is providing real-time satellite data links to track the location and movement of teams participating in the 2007 Tesoro Iron Dog snowmobile race.
Billed as the “World’s Longest, Toughest Snowmobile Race,” the Tesoro Iron Dog competition is scheduled to begin February 11, 2007. The six-day race covers a 1,971-mile route extending from Wasilla on Alaska’s south coast to Nome on the west coast and then to the finish line in Fairbanks. Iridium resellers have partnered to develop a Web-based global mobile asset tracking application using the Iridium satellite network.
The SBD Pro tracking module utilizes Iridium’s short-burst data service. The unit is powered by the snowmobile’s 12-Volt battery and has convenient front-panel LED status indicators to show power, GPS tracking and Iridium satellite connections at a glance. It also has an optional “man down” tether switch that automatically sends a distress message, which includes the GPS location if the driver is thrown from the snowmobile. This message can be sent to a predetermined email address, pager or cell phone and is user defined via a web portal.
