These units use cell phone towers to track the vehicles position, I have used these for years and AT&T was charging
us $4.50 a month ea for service. They are solar powered and have a lithium battery that will power them for weeks without a recharge.
These are used on USPS contracts and on 6/12/24 I received an email with this info stating that these are still good to use on USPS contracts:
As
you are likely aware, the USPS has issued a requirement that all GPS
information from the HCR base must be integrated into Fourkites as soon
as possible. Please be aware
that your existing ORBCOMM devices are fully compliant and compatible
with Fourkites and will satisfy the USPS requirement. If you have
ORBCOMM devices, you do not need any additional devices for USPS
Fourkites GPS trailer tracking.
This one was never mounted up on a truck so it is for all purposes new and comes with all the orig stuff (mounting strips etc), open box.
I have retired from the truck business so I am selling this one. These cost $350 new, so you can save some $$ buying this one.
You can go to Orbcomm's site to see the details.
Price includes free shipping with Priority mail.
