GOST helps guard vessels from theft with smart satellite solutions by ORBCOMM

Global Ocean Security Technologies (GOST), a Florida‑based leader in marine monitoring, tracking and surveillance, faced the industry challenge of preventing and recovering high‑value boat thefts while meeting insurer requirements for satellite tracking and security. To address the need for fast, reliable global tracking and remote asset protection, GOST integrated ORBCOMM’s satellite IoT technology—including the ST 9100 two‑way satellite device—into its Specter platform to deliver real‑time alerts, video surveillance and location reporting.

Using ORBCOMM’s rugged, discreet satellite terminals and connectivity, GOST’s solution provides two‑way data, geofencing, remote arm/disarm, cloaking fog and immediate location/heading/speed updates with 99.9% global messaging capability. The results: systems installed on thousands of vessels, hundreds of boats saved or recovered, court‑admissible video and tracking evidence, faster law‑enforcement response and a measurable reduction in theft risk thanks to ORBCOMM‑powered tracking and alerts.
