Orbcomm RT8000

Orbcomm RT8000 — EN 12830-Compliant Cold Chain Monitoring Solution

The Orbcomm RT8000 is a comprehensive cold chain monitoring solution designed to maintain cargo integrity and regulatory compliance across refrigerated transport operations. Fully compliant with Europe's HACCP guidelines and EN 12830 regulations for temperature-controlled goods, the RT8000 provides complete end-to-end cold chain visibility — from loading through to delivery — giving operators the confidence that temperature-sensitive cargo is protected at every stage of the journey.

The RT8000 connects wirelessly with up to eight ORBCOMM TS 310 temperature sensors simultaneously, creating a complete EN 12830-compliant cold chain solution without cable complexity. CAT 1 4G LTE connectivity ensures future-proofed data transmission, free from 2G/3G shutdown risk, while a high-capacity battery and low-power mode keep assets visible even when unconnected. An extensive I/O set allows integration with a wide range of external equipment beyond temperature monitoring.

Key Features
