Blue Sky Network, a leading, global provider of GPS tracking and communication solutions for land, sea, and aviation assets, recently introduced the HawkEye 5300, the first widely-available dual-mode tracking device leveraging both GSM and Iridium satellite capabilities. The HawkEye 5300 offers two-way real time communication which automatically and seamlessly switches between Iridium and quad-band GSM networks. This provides land fleet operators with lower monthly tracking costs while delivering 100 percent global visibility and unmatched safety when most needed.

Land fleet operators no longer have to choose between safety, reliability, and affordability. Leveraging the reliable Iridium satellite network, the HawkEye 5300 provides uninterrupted tracking even in the most remote regions, thereby ensuring safety for long distance trucking, dangerous remote routes and high security operations, such as high value or hazardous cargo. It also offers instant notification of vehicle operation after-hours or in unsafe zones, and remote Internet-based fleet monitoring. Blue Sky Network's relationship with GSM service providers ensures cost effective fleet tracking and communications anywhere GSM services are available.

"GSM is very cost effective, but it is often unavailable in remote locations where the danger is highest and the need greatest," said Jon Gilbert, CEO and Founder of Blue Sky Network. "The HawkEye 5300 provides fleet operators with the best of both worlds by economically delivering uninterrupted tracking no matter how remote the area. Users can monitor and communicate with their fleets at all times to ensure complete safety and accountability."
