It’s been a truly transformative year for ORBCOMM, marked by significant milestones and dedicated efforts to meet the goals we set for ourselves. True to our spirit of innovation, we’ve remained committed to pushing boundaries to empower industries with cutting-edge IoT solutions across the sectors we serve. From groundbreaking product launches to meaningful industry collaborations, here are some of the high points that defined our journey in 2024.
A new chapter in leadership
The year began with ORBCOMM welcoming Sameer Agrawal as our new CEO. With nearly 30 years of experience driving innovation and profitable growth in industrial IoT, SaaS and big data solutions across diverse industries and global markets, Sameer is guiding the company toward sustainable long-term growth. Under his leadership, the company has embarked on an exciting transformation, marked by strategic initiatives and a growing list of accomplishments.
Continuous innovation
This year was packed with exciting innovations—here are some highlights. One of the year’s standout achievements was the launch of our OGx satellite IoT service, paired with the SC 1000 solar-powered tracker. This innovative service empowers IoT solution providers to build transformative applications and explore new markets.
In July, we introduced an upgraded version of our reefer container management solution—featuring the CT 3600 device. This upgrade simplifies the installation and deployment of reefer container telematics for shipping lines and container leasing companies. We also launched the latest generation of our dry container monitoring solution in October. Powered by the new CT 1010 device, the solution offers new features like unauthorized container access detection, fire alerts and container damage monitoring.
Engaging the global community
This year, our team connected with industry leaders at 23 trade shows spanning 11 countries and four continents. From transportation to cold chain to maritime, we showcased how our IoT technology can drive smarter, data-driven decisions across industries.
We also ramped up our virtual presence by hosting and participating in several online events and webinars. Some notable ones include Satellite IoT: Driving Growth for Industrial Solution Providers in collaboration with Mobile World Congress, where we discussed the advantages of using satellite technology to develop and market industrial solutions. We collaborated with World Cargo News to host Remote Asset Monitoring? It’s Now Within Reach, exploring the benefits of remote monitoring for improved cargo security and streamlined operations. Our webinar with Via Satellite, spotlighted trends in IoT connectivity for diverse markets.
Advancing sustainability
In October, ORBCOMM was proud to join the Move to Minus 15°C initiative as a technology provider. Launched at the 28th UN Climate Change Conference, more commonly known as COP28, this initiative aims to raise frozen food transport temperatures from -18°C to -15°C, reducing CO₂ emissions by 17.7 million metric tons annually. ORBCOMM supports this effort by delivering accurate reefer telematics data to promote lower emissions, energy conservation and supply chain efficiency.
Our technology also powered several projects by our solution provider partners that helped their customers enhance sustainability and improve operational efficiency. Kuchera utilized our satellite-cellular IoT technology to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions in African mining operations. Autonomy and Asset Management Group (AAMG) improved water pump management for mining sites in Australia using ORBCOMM’s solutions. And U.S.-based company Ranchbot leveraged ORBCOMM’s cutting-edge technology to help ranchers optimize water management, saving time and resources.
Looking ahead
As we wrap up 2024, we are proud of the strides we’ve made and excited for the opportunities ahead. ORBCOMM remains committed to driving innovation, sustainability and to empowering industries with cutting-edge IoT solutions. Thank you for being part of our journey in 2024—here’s to an even more impactful 2025!
