ECTrack integrates transceiver, antenna, power supply, and a 12 channel GPS receiver in one single unit. This provides a significant cost reduction compared to traditional Inmarsat-C systems, and simplifies installation as well. eCTrack is the fourth generation Inmarsat-C system from Thrane & Thrane.
