Global connectivity leader, EMS Technologies, Inc. announced today that products and solutions offered through its Global Resource Management unit will soon be outfitted for compatibility with GLONASS, a constellation of 26 positioning and navigation satellites operated by the Russian government. The enhancements are designed to enable the delivery of reliable and secure asset-tracking and -monitoring solutions to a wide array of customers in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). The products will be introduced later this year through a distribution agreement between EMS Global Tracking and MVS Global Telecommunications Moscow. 

“GLONASS certification is a must-have feature for many of our customers in Russia and other countries in the region,” noted Dino Koutrouki, Vice President and General Manager, EMS Global Resource Management. “With the new capabilities in place, we anticipate being able to offer a complete end-to-end tracking solution for marine- and land-based vehicles in these growing markets. As an additional benefit, our products will be designed to support upcoming GPS constellations like Galileo in Europe and the Beidou navigation system in China without any modifications to the antenna.” Read More
