Global Alerting Platform

GAP is a global hub for satellite messaging devices providing location tracking, emergency alerting, message routing and storage.

As the cost of satellite communications reduces, the market for tracking and emergency alerting devices is expanding. Whether it’s protecting lone workers, monitoring scientific expeditions in the Antarctic or protecting sailors on the high seas, more and more people want to carry a portable satellite messenger device to keep in touch and raise the alarm in an emergency situation. But the device is only half the story! You also need to guarantee that your messages will get through and reach the right person.

Powered from a global network of data centres, we’ve developed a comprehensive satellite messaging platform, terrestrial Infrastructure and operational support systems to deliver rich messaging functionality that is highly scalable and highly available.

GAP comes with a number of standard applications for use in a wide range of scenarios from personal tracking and lone worker monitoring to integration with search and rescue authorities. Our Professional Services Team can build custom solutions to suit your specific business needs and provide integration services with your existing systems.

GAP for manufacturers and resellers

A reliable and cost effective solution for existing or new devices. With our device agnostic platform, you
can benefit from all the advanced messaging features and portal services without having to develop and
manage your own software and infrastructure.

GAP for emergency services

The features of GAP have been designed with Search and Rescue (SAR) in mind. GAP can route emergency alerts directly to SAR authorities or via intermediate first responders. Messages can be automatically transformed into standard formats (e.g. NSARC format) and can link directly into SAR command and control using open standards. Our software engineering expertise and satellite tracking know-how has already helped the UK lifeboat service (RNLI) to save nine lives.

GAP for organisations

GAP is a ready-built solution for your ‘duty of care’ needs. Whatever your choice of device, we can offer a
wide range of lone worker, safety monitoring and communication services. Our tools make it easy to keep in touch with your global workforce and integrate with existing work force management systems.

The hub runs “in the cloud” across Microsoft’s global data centres and is capable of supporting millions of devices. Using a combination of Microsoft Windows Azure technology and our own secure data centres we can ensure high reliability, scalability and availability of the service.
