GPS Tracking Devices

Air Canada Cargo has approved several GPS tracking devices for use on our aircraft. With real-time capabilities at all points in the supply-chain, GPS tracking devices provide stakeholders with critical data that enables them to intervene to reduce or eliminate loss related to the integrity of the cargo.

Each device has a different product offering, with some devices offering multiple sensors such as temperature, humidity, pressure, shock, location and vibration. Devices use multiple modes of sensing and proprietary logic to automatically turn off wireless transmitting radios in flight to ensure safe and regulatory compliant operation.
