This paper is to describe a system for mobile position reporting of mobiles and remote monitoring (short data messaging). It is based on the use of small satellites (mass < 150 kg). The definition of this system is currently being achieved by ONES. The main features of the system are the low development and user costs as well as the worldwide and high capacity capabilities (more than 500 000 mobile terminals per geographical zone). Such a system is economically attractive for companies managing large mobile fleets. It is well suited for a ponctuai utilization when real time is not needed.
