One of the advantages of providing an affordable global satellite network, is the ability to track and trace shipments across multiple transportation methods and through various over-the-air signals.
Freight forwarders and logistics companies can centrally monitor the location of equipment bound from all over the world to a specified destination.
Large construction sites can now schedule the deliveries more efficiently, causing fewer costly delays.
Real Life Example- an example of cost savings on a large construction site was a $1 M piece of equipment that went missing enroute to an oil drilling site in the Middle East. After several days, the oil company re-ordered the equipment and had it flown to the site because the cost of down time on site was more than the cost of replacing the equipment. Several days later, the equipment arrived by truck.
