GLS Technology

The patented SkyBitz Global Locating System (GLS) provides a powerful, long-term solution to the complex problem of asset tracking. Even in the harshest environments, where external power may not be available for months or even years, SkyBitz GLS technology consistently outperforms the competition.

Power Management Technology

At SkyBitz, we're experts in power management. The proprietary and patented GLS technology gives us the ability to extend our battery life longer than GPS-based devices. And we have three different power management solutions. So no matter what your power requirements are- from reporting once a day to once every 30 minutes- SkyBitz offers a power management solution that works for you.

Longest Battery Life in the Industry

SkyBitz has the longest battery life in the transportation industry. Instead of 30- to 60-day rechargeable batteries, the SkyBitz Mobile Terminal can operate for years on the same internal set of batteries. The SkyBitz GLS Mobile Terminal finds the position of a trailer at the SkyBitz Data Center, which has essentially unlimited power and computing resources. Other providers utilize traditional GPS chipset-based communicators that are not well suited for installation on assets that remain un-tethered and un-powered over long periods.

Two-Way Communication for Security

Communication on the SkyBitz GLS network is bi-directional — you can reconfigure the unit remotely using our online software, and then it reports directly back to you. The GLS position reporting schedule and periodic wake-up interval to accept new assignments are configurable over the air to provide the most flexibility for various applications. Additional GLS position updates can be scheduled by issuing Pages, Profile Changes or Panic Operations from your desktop.
