Globalstar Partner Spotter Achieves Milestone of Over 30,000 Satellite IoT Collars Deployed Across Central Asia

Mongolia-based Spotter has reached a milestone of over 30,000 Horse Tracker collars deployed, enabling the reliable monitoring of free-roaming horses across Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Describing sales uptick of nearly 160% since October 2022, Spotter Co-Founder Tsogbadrakh Surenjargal said, “The growth has been phenomenal.”

Each Spotter collar is fitted with Globalstar’s SmartOne C satellite IoT transmitter, so the solution helps herd owners keep tabs on their valued equines wherever they travel in this sparsely populated region, even when well beyond the reach of cellular signals. With SmartOne C’s small size, versatility, and low price, Spotter is seeing rapid uptake of its lightweight, rugged, and economical tracking collars.

There’s a growing understanding among the horse owning community of the value and reliability of the satellite IoT technology solution, according to Surenjargal. “People are becoming aware that terrestrial telecoms infrastructure like mobile networks are simply unable to provide the ubiquitous and always-on tracking capability of satellite.”
