Global Connectivity Icon

LTE-M/NB-IoT Network Roaming

Supports automatic roaming between LTE-M and NB-IoT networks with minimal delay and marginal impact on battery life or performance (roaming SIM required).

Rugged & Weatherproof

Our container tracking IoT devices feature IP68-rated housing, which offers superior protection for all shipping container tracking devices and ensures they reliably operate in the most rugged conditions.

Periodic or Movement-Based

Receive location updates regularly throughout the day or only when movement occurs with smart adaptive tracking technology with shipping container GPS trackers.

Sleep Mode

Stationary devices enter sleep mode, switching the update rate to only once per day until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimize data usage.

Impact Detection

Configure impact-detection alerts when g-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold.

Theft Recovery

Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate live-tracking at 30 second intervals for container retrieval.

Sensor Monitoring

Interface with a range of sensors such as temperature, humidity, moisture, depth and more.

Advanced Geofencing

Create custom geofences and alerts if a container enters or leaves specific locations. Geofences can also be downloaded directly to the device for enhanced location-based behaviors.

Easy Install

Multiple installation options for covertly securing devices to containers with screws, bolts, cable ties, rivets, and more.
