gplink Evolves to Serve the Entire Market

Second generation of Caterpillar’s gpLink will do more and serve a wider market. It is no secret that Remote Tracking, Monitoring, and Notification Systems for just about anything that floats, is here. In on the ground floor of all of that, more than 18 months ago, was the organization that provides premier power solutions in the medium- and high-speed segments with outputs from 93 to 16,000 kW in main propulsion and 10 to 7,680 kWe in marine generator sets. gplink, the satellite/cellular based tracking, monitoring, and notification system was specifically designed just for Cat engines. That’s about to change, however. Beyond the all-important monitoring of diagnostics and operating parameters – with ten basic features coming standard – the system does so much more.

CAT Introduce New Engine Monitoring, Boat Tracking System

Caterpillar introduce a remote tracking, monitoring, & notification system, 'gplink' for Cat® powered yachts & other vessels. gplink protects vessels by monitoring engine operating parameters and engine diagnostic codes as well as on-board critical systems such as bilge levels, fire alarms, low batteries and power interruption. The system can provide immediate notification via e-mail, SMS, and/or phone of any critical alarm or event. Through the utilization of dual band cellular technology with GSM communications, as well as the Iridium satellite system, gplink is able to provide vessel coverage on a global basis. gplink’s Geo-Fence feature allows the vessel operator to set up a precise boundary within which the boat should be operating or docked.
