Having ORBCOMM products and services available on the GSA schedule marks a significant milestone for our company and expands our reach into the government market, said Marc Eisenberg, Chief Executive Officer of ORBCOMM. We are pleased to build on Corp Tens long-standing relationship with GSA and provide cost-effective, advanced M2M solutions through a universal vehicle to help government customers increase operational efficiency and visibility of their global assets.
