About ORBCOMM Inc.

ORBCOMM Inc. (ticker: ORBC) is a U.S.-listed technology company trading on the NYSE/NASDAQ in the United States, with historical roots in New Jersey and current operating presence in Sterling, Virginia. The company positions itself as a global leader in industrial IoT and asset intelligence, meaning it helps customers collect, manage, and act on data from physical assets at scale. Its core model combines connectivity, telematics, container visibility, and analytics for supply chain, transportation, maritime, and other mission-critical environments. ([orbcomm.com](https://www.orbcomm.com/about-us?utm_source=openai)) Founded in the early 2000s, ORBCOMM built its platform over decades of experience in IoT and satellite communications. The company was incorporated in Delaware in 2003, and over time it broadened its offering through acquisitions and the integration of hardware, software, and network capabilities. That history reflects a transition from a connectivity provider toward a more comprehensive industrial visibility and data monetization platform.

The company emphasizes smart container offerings for refrigerated and dry containers, with alerts for temperature excursions, door openings, shock events, and location reporting. It also develops IoT modules for mission-critical applications in areas where terrestrial coverage is limited or unreliable.
