NEWS ARCHIVE October 2007 ... October 2007: Fastwave to provide satellite communications and support for Australian Ocean Glider Fleet The Australian National Facility for Ocean Gliders is a program funded by the Australian Government to deploy a fleet of advanced robotic “Ocean Gliders” for oceanographic research. The program will have a fleet of gliders operating across Australia starting in Jan 2008 and will be in operation almost continuously until June 2011. Ocean Gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles which move vertically and horizontally by adjusting their volume to weight ratio using a pair of fixed wings to steer to depths of up to 2000m. They can record temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll with depth. When the glider is at the surface, it fixes its position via GPS and relays the data collected via the Iridium Satellite system to a shore station and can also receive commands. Fastwave Communications is an authorised Iridium Value Added Manufacturer, and already provides satellite telemetry services and support for oceanographic research projects conducted by the Australian Commonwealth Science, Industry and Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and the University of Western Australia. May 2007 ... Fastwave’s new global tracking device tracks aircraft across Pacific Fastwave’s new FasTracker ™ portable GPS satellite tracker has provided near real time flight following on a light aircraft delivery flight from the USA to Australia. A leading Australian air ferry company, Australian Air Ferry Pty Ltd, has completed a successful evaluation of the FasTracker ™ for the purposes of providing global tracking capability for their aircraft ferry pilots. Because the FasTracker ™ can be easily deployed from aircraft to aircraft (or vehicles and vessels) without any installation, it offers the flexibility necessary for aircraft ferry operations. It can also be used for global personnel tracking, and includes a remotely activated distress alarm.Image of trans- Pacific ferry flight. April 2007... Fastwave commences implementation of major vehicle tracking projects.
Following successful field evaluations in some of Australia's most remote and inhospitable regions, Dampier Bunbury Pipeline Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Australia's largest gas pipeline operator, Alinta Energy, has commissioned Fastwave to install its unique Vehicle Tracking System on over 300 vehicles. Aside from providing vehicle tracking information, the system also includes remotely operated distress alarms for vehicle operators.The vehicles are being deployed along the Dampier - Bunbury Pipeline as part of a major upgrade project.
Also in April, Fastwave commenced installation of its vehicle tracking and voice communication system in vehicles operated by AIMS Corporation, Australia's largest corrective services transport contractor. March 2007... Fastwave launches product for real time global personnel tracking via satellite
After extensive development and field testing, Fastwave launches " FasTracker" Global Personnel Tracking Device. The compact, autonomous Fastracker provides GPS tracking of people, vehicles, vessels, aircraft or other mobile equipment from any location in the world, on land, sea or in the air.
