Steve,

Marketleader in this kind of tracking is
http://www.spidertracks.com/

They have airline certified HW, use Iridium for tracking and costs you a few hundred USD per month (for commercial flights).

you can also ask Leo from Radioterminal.Ru (look in my FB contacts), he told me that there is a very cool russian solution which is much cheaper.

With 2way communication in airplanes i have no idea. It will costs you even much more than the simple tracking.
(EDIT: this one can via Bluetooth send and receive message with a smart-device)

And the price is also ok, just 2000 USD :-))) but i am sure you will get a discount of 10 % or so as a dealer...


Problem with all "ground solutions" is, that the HW is restricted to speeds below round about 350 km/h so that you can NOT use it for aircrafts / missiles etc.

Good luck

Steve,

maybe in Africa its not importand, but in the Surelinx Manual, Page9:

"Do not use the SureLinx on an aircraft. "

Hi,

Many insurance / flight compagnies do not allow any extra (untested) electronics inside any aircraft !

But in countries where the rules/control are less strickt the solution will be easier..

And about the SureLinx, I can imagen that SkyWave doesnt want to take any risk in this case ..

Check also the Spot Trace  of spot for tracking.
Not expensive.
Check also Gen3   from spot.  comes with alert button to friends and to Geos center.

Thanks

Re: Tracking Device to Track Planes & Helicopters

Hi Wolf,

Thank you for sharing info on SpiderTracks.

I am wondering why it is that "ground solutions" HW is restricted to speeds below round about 350 km/h? What's the rationale for having this restriction?

Thanks,
Sergei.

Re: Tracking Device to Track Planes & Helicopters

Hi Sergey,

that depends extrem on the manufactor or the chipset.
In Times of Glonass it also may be changed a bit.
The original reason was always "no highspeed missiles / rockets / remote drone operations" with civil gps tracking hardware.

but i also need to correct myself:
If i check http://www.insidegnss.com/node/3035
it clearly say "above 1000 knots", "above 60.000 feet".

So if you have a real case where you need to know if HW works in airplanes, let me know, i try to find out the manufactors restrictions.

Re: Tracking Device to Track Planes & Helicopters

Dear Partner
Is it possible to use Iridium devices for such cases?

Re: Tracking Device to Track Planes & Helicopters

Hi Hamed,

all devices i know use as transmission system the Iridium network (exept Airbus/Boing etc, they have their own sattelite networks or use Inmarsat).

Still i would use skywave devices (Orbcomm)
