AssetLink Awarded Multi-Year Rail Car
In-Transit Visibility Contract by US
Army Transportation Command,
Accelerating IoT Leadership in the Rail
Sector
Geoforce, has been
awarded the U.S. Army Transportation
Command (ARTRANS) Rail Car In-Transit
Visibility (ITV) contract via its wholly
owned AssetLink Global subsidiary. The
competitive multi-year contract, which
began deployment in December 2025,
provides tracking and remote monitoring
for Department of War-owned rail cars
using advanced capabilities including
load and impact detection sensors.
Geoforce's and
AssetLink's rail car monitoring
technologies have also recently been
deployed by one of North America's
largest railcar manufacturing, leasing,
and management companies and by a major
global industrial minerals company,
using a variety of trackers, impact
monitors, temperature, door entry, and
other sensors. The Department of War
rail car contract — awarded through the
Military Surface Deployment and
Distribution Command (SDDC), now the
U.S. Army Transportation Command
(ARTRANS) — adds to growing momentum in
the rail sector. Together, these
deployments position Geoforce to serve a
larger share of the rail market through
its unique combination of secure
hardened communications, intelligent
sensor integration, and defense-grade
reliability.
The award follows
Geoforce's acquisition of AssetLink
Global, a pioneer in secure satellite-
and cellular-enabled asset tracking and
sensor integration. The combined entity
brings together Geoforce's cloud-based
software platform and industrial-grade
hardware with AssetLink's deep expertise
in sensor applications and satellite
communications — creating one of the
most comprehensive IoT solutions
available for field-centric industries
including rail, defense, maritime, cold
chain, and oil and gas.
"Being awarded the
ARTRANS Rail Car In-Transit Visibility
contract is a strong validation of our
increasing focus on the rail sector,"
said James MacLean III, Chief Executive
Officer of Geoforce. "As we integrate
AssetLink's secure communications and
sensor expertise with Geoforce's
industrial platform, we are delivering
solutions that meet the highest
standards of security and reliability —
exactly what defense and rail customers
require."
"AssetLink Global
has supported military and defense
operations for years, and this contract
reflects the trust our customers place
in our team and our technology," said
David J. Goldstein, Senior Vice
President and General Manager of
Geoforce AssetLink. "Our unification
with Geoforce is still relatively new,
but it is already delivering results —
combining AssetLink's hardware and
sensor capabilities with Geoforce's
expertise in rugged industrial markets
to provide greater value across all of
the industries we serve."
