Hybrid
Our Hybrid telematics device delivers continuous, reliable tracking across both mobile and satellite networks, making it ideal for mining operations, regional transport, remote fleets, agriculture and isolated assets. Designed to suit Australian conditions, it ensures uninterrupted visibility no matter how far your assets travel.
Reliable Tracking Across Cellular & Satellite Networks
The Hybrid device combines Telstra’s 4G network with Iridium satellite connectivity to deliver GPS telematics across Australia’s most remote regions. When mobile coverage is available, the device uses Telstra for faster reporting. When coverage drops, it automatically switches to satellite tracking for continuous visibility. This dual-network capability makes it perfect for fleets that require constant data accuracy, mission-critical safety oversights or real-time operational control in the most isolated contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Hybrid Device Suitable for Remote or Mining Fleets?
The Hybrid device is specifically designed for remote operations, automatically switching to satellite tracking when mobile coverage is unavailable. This makes it ideal for mining, agriculture, exploration and regional transport fleets.
How Does the Hybrid Device Switch Between Networks?
The device uses Telstra’s mobile network by default. When signal strength drops, it automatically transitions to the Iridium satellite network, ensuring uninterrupted tracking without user intervention.
Does Satellite Tracking Work While the Vehicle Is Moving?
Yes. The Hybrid device supports live and in-motion satellite tracking, providing location updates and movement data every 10 minutes – even when the vehicle is travelling through remote or low-coverage regions.
