Maryland-based Iridium Satellite has signed a value-added manufacturer agreement with Quake Global.

Quake Global is a supplier of wireless data communication products for asset tracking and monitoring/control in the heavy equipment and transportation industries.
Quake Global will integrate Iridium short-burst data capability into its new line of subscriber communicators it is developing for the Iridium system. The first modems to be released with Iridium capability will be the Q1200SI and the Q2000I.
Quake Global’s products are used to transmit tracking and monitoring data from small, low-powered terminals installed on vehicles. The strategic alliance with Iridium will permit data from remote assets to be transmitted from anywhere in the world through the Iridium network of 66 low-earth orbiting satellites.
Greg Ewert, executive vice president of Iridium Satellite, said, “Our strategic partnership will enable us to leverage our low-latency, ubiquitous, global satellite connectivity and new-generation short-burst data modem in key vertical markets such as heavy equipment, transportation and asset tracking.”
