Overcoming Connectivity Blackouts: Iridium GPS Lock Solution Secures Belt and Road Logist

October 23, 2022

Custom satellite GPS elock IoT system solves core pain points of cargo theft and customs delays for cross-border transport.


We are proud to announce the successful deployment and mass shipment of our custom-designed Iridium Satellite GPS Tracker and Smart Iridium GPS PadLock solution for a major Belt and Road Initiative logistics fleet in Kazakhstan. This project directly addresses the critical challenge of network coverage in remote border areas, providing a stable and reliable end-to-end cargo monitoring and management system for cross-border transportation.

Addressing the Core Challenge: Cargo Visibility Where Networks Fail

In the vast border regions of Kazakhstan, traditional cellular networks are weak or non-existent, leaving cargo "invisible" during transit. This lack of visibility has long led to significant operational headaches, including cargo pilferage and delayed customs clearance due to insufficient data.

Our solution, developed in close collaboration with the client, leverages the global coverage of the Iridium satellite network. The system consists of two key components:

Overcoming Connectivity Blackouts: Iridium GPS Lock Solution Secures Belt and Road Logist

Iridium GPS Smart Lock:Attached directly to cargo containers, this lock transmits its status (open/closed) and precise location via satellite, effectively preventing theft and unauthorized tampering en route.

Iridium GPS Tracking Device:Installed on the truck cabin, this device works in tandem with the smart lock, providing comprehensive oversight of both the vehicle and its cargo.

From Concept to Mass Production: A Full-Scope Delivery


As a trusted technology partner, we led the project from inception to completion, overseeing **product design, tooling, mass production, and seamless integration** with the client's local management platform. This end-to-end service ensured a flawless rollout, allowing the client to monitor the real-time location and security status of every truck and its load from their central command center.

Delivering Tangible Value: Enhanced Security and Efficiency


The implementation of this system has yielded immediate and significant benefits:

Drastically Reduced Cargo Theft: The dual-device system creates a digital geofence, triggering instant alerts for any unauthorized door openings or route deviations.

Streamlined Customs Clearance: Provides immutable data on transport routes and cargo status, offering transparency to authorities and significantly speeding up border processes.

Seamless Tracking, Anywhere: The Iridium network guarantees the transmission of critical data regardless of location, eliminating monitoring blackouts entirely.


Looking Ahead

The success in Kazakhstan validates our capability to deliver robust, custom IoT solutions for the complex logistics corridors along the Belt and Road. We are confident this model is directly applicable to other nations and regions facing similar challenges. We look forward to partnering with more logistics companies and stakeholders to empower global supply chains with technology, driving a safer and more efficient future for smart logistics.
