What's the realistic battery life in typical logistics operations?

With battery power, the tracker can last up to 5 years depending on tracking frequency and environmental conditions. For more active tracking scenarios (updates every few minutes), you can expect several years of operation before battery replacement.

How accurate is the GPS positioning, especially in challenging environments like containers or urban areas?

The tracker features a high-sensitivity GPS antenna (1575.42/1602MHz) with 28±2dB signal gain, providing accurate positioning even in partially obstructed environments. While GPS performance can be limited inside metal containers, the tracker automatically switches to cellular triangulation when GPS signal is weak. Urban canyon effects are minimized through the hybrid positioning system that combines GPS with cellular network data.

Can the tracker detect tampering, unauthorized movement, or theft?

Yes! The built-in 3-axis accelerometer detects movement and can trigger alerts for unauthorized transportation. The light sensor can detect if a container or package has been opened. You can set up geofencing to receive alerts when assets leave designated areas, plus shock detection identifies potential damage or handling issues. These features combined provide comprehensive security monitoring for high-value cargo.

How does the tracker handle different shipping methods (sea, air, land, rail)?

The tracker is designed to work seamlessly across all transportation modes. Its IP65 rating protects against harsh marine environments, while the lightweight design (143.5g) doesn't add significant weight for air freight. The accelerometer adapts to different movement patterns whether on trucks, trains, ships, or planes. The global SIM coverage ensures connectivity regardless of how your goods travel.

What mounting options are available, and how secure is the installation?

The tracker comes with M10 mounting threads and a 505mm cable for flexible installation options. You can mount it directly to assets, vehicles, or containers. Additional mounting brackets are available for specific applications like returnable packaging or specialized equipment. The compact size (78mm x 45mm x 26mm) allows discrete placement while the rugged construction ensures it stays secure during transport.

Can the tracker integrate with our existing transportation management system (TMS)?

Absolutely! The GPS Tracker communicates through standard APIs that can integrate with most TMS platforms. Location data can be automatically fed into your existing systems, eliminating manual tracking processes. Custom integration options are available to match specific workflow requirements, and our team can assist with implementation to ensure seamless data flow into your existing operations.

How does weather resistance work, and can it handle extreme temperatures?

The IP65-rated housing provides complete protection against dust and water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use in all weather conditions. The device operates reliably in high temperatures typical of global shipping environments. Whether exposed to heat, cold, or humidity, the tracker maintains functionality and data integrity.

What security measures protect the location data from unauthorized access?

All data transmission uses enterprise-grade encryption protocols including secure boot with flash encryption. Location data is transmitted over secure cellular networks with additional application-layer security. Access to tracking data is controlled through role-based permissions, ensuring only authorized personnel can view sensitive shipment information. Optional geofencing and access logs provide additional security oversight for high-value cargo.
