SkyBitz and QinetiQ have partnered to offer a global terrestrial asset tracking solution. “As QinetiQ has a strong track record in international defense and security markets, we are pleased to be able to leverage the leadership and expertise of its GPS-enabled telematics business to ensure our asset tracking solutions meet the stringent security and durability demands of our customers both in North America and worldwide,” says Homaira Akbari, president and CEO of SkyBitz. The first offering under the agreement is the SkyBitz Falcon Series GXT1000, which “offers better security measures for flatbed assets through its ability to be installed virtually anywhere, which allows for a concealed or covert placement. It also provides real-time visibility for optimal management of assets.” The arrangement allows SkyBitz to address customer markets and operations in both North America and internationally. The companies say they expect to penetrate security and defense sectors with their partnership.
