Rogers Communications has introduced a satellite-connected Internet of Things service designed to extend asset and fleet tracking capabilities to remote regions across Canada. The service, developed in partnership with Geotab, leverages satellite technology to provide real-time location data for trailers, containers, and other mobile assets in areas where conventional cellular networks do not operate effectively.
The offering, called GO Anywhere Plus, addresses a significant coverage limitation in Canadian logistics and transportation operations. By enabling connectivity across 82% of the country's geographic area—including regions previously unreachable by traditional mobile networks—the service represents a competitive advancement for Rogers in the enterprise IoT sector. Rogers claims to be the first Canadian wireless provider to commercially deploy satellite-to-mobile IoT connectivity for this market segment.
The service targets fleet operators and asset managers seeking continuous tracking capabilities without geographic constraints. Integration with Geotab's fleet management platform enables customers to consolidate location data alongside vehicle diagnostics and operational metrics on a single dashboard, streamlining visibility across distributed assets.
