SC1000

Orbcomm SC1000 — World's First OGx-Native Solar-Powered Satellite Tracker

The Orbcomm SC1000 is the world's first OGx-native IoT device — a breakthrough in satellite asset tracking that makes reliable global connectivity commercially viable for high-volume deployments. Solar powered and built to operate autonomously in areas with no available power, the SC1000 delivers precise location reporting, utilisation monitoring and dwell monitoring for trailers, containers, equipment and other mobile or fixed assets anywhere on the globe.

By leveraging the next-generation OGx satellite service, the SC1000 achieves a uniquely low cost of ownership without compromising coverage or reliability. Its compact design with an integrated antenna and low power consumption further reduce deployment and operational costs, while a HERO-certified rugged enclosure ensures performance in the harshest field environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OGx and why does it matter?

OGx is ORBCOMM's next-generation satellite IoT network, offering lower latency, higher capacity and better cost performance than older satellite services. The SC1000 is the first device built natively for OGx, maximising all its technical and commercial advantages.

How long does the SC1000 battery last?

The solar battery is designed for long-term autonomous operation in typical outdoor conditions. Battery duration varies by usage and sunlight availability, but the SC1000 is engineered for extended deployments on assets that are rarely accessible.

Can the SC1000 track assets outside of cellular coverage?

Yes — the SC1000 uses satellite-only connectivity via OGx, providing true global tracking coverage regardless of cellular infrastructure. This makes it ideal for remote locations where no cellular network is available.

Is the SC1000 available in the UK?

Yes. Tracking Hardware UK is an authorised Orbcomm distributor and can supply the SC1000 with trade pricing and fast dispatch from our London warehouse. Contact us for pricing and availability.
