Pros & Cons

  • The ORBCOMM platform supports a wide variety of asset types (trucks, dry vans, reefers, containers, chassis, railcars) in one system.
  • Uses both cellular and satellite connectivity, reducing blind spots when cellular coverage is weak.
  • Its platform offers deep data insight, dashboards, and customizable reports.
  • Granular permissioning allows different users to access only the data relevant to them.
  • In partnership with Noregon, ORBCOMM provides remote diagnostics (engine faults, fuel consumption, etc.) to optimize maintenance.
  • Dual-mode (satellite + cellular) hardware and connectivity can be expensive, especially for large deployments.
  • The breadth of features (asset types, analytics, roles) can be overwhelming for new users / small teams.
  • Requires ORBCOMM-certified devices; mixing with non-compatible trackers may be limited.
  • Satellite mode may introduce latency for real-time tracking vs pure cellular solutions.
  • While diagnostics are strong, they depend on good OEM‐data integration; not all fleets may get full value.
