Tracplus USA and DAC International Sign Worldwide Distribution Agreement

TracPlus USA Inc. and DAC International, Inc. have announced a worldwide distribution agreement that will see DAC International distribute TracPlus’s next generation tracking, messaging and data service.

DAC International, which is an operating subsidiary of The Fairchild Corporation, has been operating since 1981. It is an avionics sales and distribution company that specialises in the sale and distribution of sophisticated avionics products, systems and test equipment to the world’s airlines, corporate aircraft, modification centres, aircraft manufacturers, special mission and military markets. It has established hundreds of dealerships around the world to sell and support the products it distributes.

TracPlus USA is an Atlanta-based subsidiary of Dunedin, New Zealand-based TracPlus Global Ltd. TracPlus offers a premium tracking service to deliver mission-critical tracking infrastructure and data telemetry services to aviation, maritime and terrestrial customers in over 18 countries around the world.

The TracPlus product and service occupies a unique position in the global telemetry market because it is the only tracking service designed to work with any OEM tracking terminal, across any satellite or cellular network, and deliver data to a wide variety of client applications including third party command and control systems.

TracPlus says that it also sets a new standard in operator and agency interoperability by allowing users to share data with each other easily and securely, enabling emergency response and rescue coordination agencies to visualise time-critical tracking data—in the systems of their choice, regardless of the source of that data.

“Our customers are demanding reliable, worldwide tracking and data connectivity, and it was immediately clear that TracPlus delivers a seamless combination of innovative product and reliable service that our customers have come to expect,” said Terry Armstrong, the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of DAC International. “TracPlus is the perfect complement to our GEN-X EFB,” he added.

Chris Hinch, the CEO of TracPlus Global Ltd., said, “This agreement represents a significant milestone in our continued growth and expansion, and TracPlus USA’s partnership with DAC offers unprecedented new opportunities for our aviation customers.”

TracPlus Global won the International Technium Challenge in 2008 and was chosen as the Gen-I Startup Exporter of the Year in August. In September, TracPlus Global won the TUANZ Initiative of the Year and was chosen as the Overall Winner in the TUANZ Innovation of the Year.
