Dear ztass:
You asked for contacts with companies that provide satellite asset
tracking
solutions using GPS and GIS data. I have found the following companies
that
fit your criteria, in order of relevance:
National Systems and Research Co. [ http://www.nsr.com]
Vistar Datacom [ http://www.vista.ca ]
Locarta Technologies, Inc [ http://www.locarta.com ]
Included below is a brief description of each company and their
relevant
products, with contact information:
-- National Systems and Research Co. --
This company appears to be foremost solutions provider from the field.
Here
is their company description:
"National Systems & Research Co. (NSR) supports Department of Defense
(DoD)
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite technology and offers
GPS-based
asset tracking hardware, software, and telecommunications services."

In particular, NSR produces the SkyBase suite of mobile tracking

-- Vistar Datacom --
"Vistar Datacom is a subsidiary of Ottawa, Canada-based Vistar
Telecommunications, a world leader in the design, development and
manufacturing of wide area wireless data products and services, and a
pioneer in the development of asset tracking and management products.
Vistar has developed a global network of Regional Operators who
provide the
GlobalWave service around the world. Vistar Datacom is the Regional

http://www.vistar.ca/vistar/datacom/about.html
You can find more information about their relevant product
"GlobalWave" at
the website linked here: [
http://www.vistar.ca/vistar/datacom/solutions.html ]. Note that
although
the description on those pages do not give mention integrated GIS
data, I
was able to find the following quote from a press release:
"Robert G. Davis, President and CEO of SpudIT, said the company has
now
deployed over 1,100 GlobalWave terminals in the field, with another
900 to
be deployed over the next few months. With our expanded geographic
information system (GIS) integration, customers can gather and
retrieve
real-time remote asset data and view it immediately on detailed,
high-definition maps. Customers also have the option to integrate this
asset data seamlessly with their existing databases and software
systems.
The combination of GPS and GIS technologies gives our customers
extremely
powerful tools for asset tracking, mapping, and analysis that they can
use
to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and enhance services."

So it appears that GlobalWave does integrate GIS data into their
mobile
tracking products, although this is not mentioned in the product
descriptions.
