The End of Blackspots for Fleet Operators in Australia & New Zealand

Sensium has redefined remote fleet connectivity with TRACKbox 4—the world’s first fleet telematics device to integrate Starlink Direct-to-Cell satellite technology.

Sensium Achieves a World-First with TRACKbox 4 – The First Fleet Telematics Device with Starlink Direct-to-Cell Satellite Connectivity

For the first time, fleet operators in Australia and New Zealand’s most remote regions can stay connected without the need for external satellite hardware or complicated installations. TRACKbox 4 seamlessly switches between terrestrial mobile networks and Starlink Direct-to-Cell satellite service, ensuring continuous fleet tracking, safety monitoring, and remote access – no matter how far off the beaten track a vehicle goes.

A New Era for Fleet Connectivity

Remote connectivity has long been a challenge for industries operating in the outback, on remote mine sites, across sprawling agricultural properties, or deep in New Zealand’s rugged landscapes. TRACKbox 4 removes this barrier, offering unprecedented tracking and communication capabilities, even in areas where mobile coverage is limited or unavailable.

What Makes TRACKbox 4 a Game-Changer?

World-First Direct-to-Cell Integration – TRACKbox 4 is the first telematics device globally to integrate satellite connectivity at this level. It provides seamless fleet tracking across mobile and satellite networks, ensuring connectivity beyond traditional coverage areas.

No External Satellite Hardware Required – Unlike traditional satellite-based solutions that require bulky antennas and expensive satellite add-ons, TRACKbox 4 uses built-in Direct-to-Cell satellite technology, making advanced connectivity cost-effective, compact, and simple to deploy.

Long-Range LoRa for Driver Safety – TRACKbox 4 additionally supports long-range Duress Pendants, allowing drivers working in extreme remote areas to call for help even when outside their vehicle.

Built Tough for Harsh Environments – Engineered for dust, heat, rain, and rugged conditions, TRACKbox 4 thrives in the extreme environments where fleet operators need it most.

A World-First Innovation, Delivered in Partnership with the Industry

The launch of SpaceX Direct-to-Cell is one of the most anticipated advancements in global connectivity, with Apple and other major players already exploring its potential. Sensium, in collaboration with Australasian telecommunication providers and SpaceX, is proud to be the first company worldwide to integrate this revolutionary technology into a commercial fleet telematics device.

"This is a breakthrough moment for fleet management," said Jeremy McLean, Sensium CEO. "By combining the power of mobile networks with SpaceX Direct-to-Cell, we’re ensuring that fleet operators in Australia and New Zealand always have a connection—whether they’re in the middle of a city or 500km from the nearest town. It’s seamless, reliable, and ready for action."

Why This Matters for Australian & NZ Fleets

Industries operating in remote Australia and New Zealand—including mining, agriculture, logistics, utilities, and emergency response—have long struggled with connectivity gaps. TRACKbox 4 finally bridges the divide, delivering uninterrupted fleet management, vehicle tracking, and driver safety, no matter where operations take place.

A Landmark Year for Sensium

TRACKbox 4 is the latest in a series of major milestones for Sensium, including:

  • The rollout of Sensium Connect+, introducing Driver ID, Pool Vehicle Booking, and Grey Fleet Privacy Mode.

  • The development of proprietary RFID Card Readers and secure remote vehicle access (keyless entry).

  • A new partnership with Geotab, expanding Sensium’s footprint in fleet telematics.

  • Selection by ORIX New Zealand as their preferred fleet telematics provider.

  • Direct collaboration with SpaceX to bring Direct-to-Cell satellite data technology to fleet management.

Future-Proof Your Fleet with TRACKbox 4

📍 If your fleet operates in rural or remote Australia or NZ, this is the connectivity breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
