    GPS & asset tracker development

    Custom trackers that keep reporting for years on a battery: LTE-M, NB-IoT or LoRaWAN, engineered from antenna to cloud dashboard and certified for the field.

    A tracker lives or dies by three numbers: position accuracy, battery life and connectivity cost. Off-the-shelf units force you to accept someone else's trade-offs; a custom design lets you pick the right radio, the right fix strategy and the right power architecture for your exact asset and duty cycle.

    We design battery-first: choosing between LTE-M, NB-IoT and LoRaWAN per use case, combining GNSS with BLE or Wi-Fi positioning where satellites fail, and hardening the RF design so field performance matches the datasheet. The same team builds the device management backend, so one prototype scales to a fleet of thousands without re-architecting.

    What we build

    Cellular IoT connectivity

    LTE-M and NB-IoT designs with global SIM strategies and tuned modem power states — firmware that survives weak coverage instead of draining the battery in it.

    Positioning engineering

    GNSS receiver integration, assisted and scheduled fixes, and hybrid positioning with BLE or Wi-Fi for indoor and dense urban environments.

    Battery-first power design

    Duty-cycle modelling before the first schematic: primary cells, rechargeable packs or solar assist, sized for years of unattended reporting.

    Fleet backend & dashboards

    Azure-based device management, OTA firmware updates and live dashboards — the operational side of tracking that spreadsheet pilots never survive.

    How a tracker project runs

    1

    Use case & network selection

    Asset type, movement pattern, geography and report frequency decide the radio. We model battery life per option before any hardware exists.

    2

    Prototype & power validation

    First hardware with measured — not estimated — sleep and transmit currents, validated against the duty-cycle model.

    3

    Field trials

    Trackers on real assets in real coverage: antenna performance, fix times and delivery rates measured where the product will actually live.

    4

    Certification

    CE under the Radio Equipment Directive, FCC where needed, and carrier requirements for cellular designs — planned into the PCB from revision one.

    5

    Production & rollout

    From pilot batch to volume with functional test fixtures, provisioning flows and yield tracking through Insyght Console.

    Frequently asked questions

    LTE-M, NB-IoT or LoRaWAN — which is right for my tracker?

    It depends on movement pattern, geography and report frequency. LTE-M suits moving assets and roaming, NB-IoT suits stationary or slow assets needing deep coverage, and LoRaWAN wins where you control the site and want years on a small battery. We model battery life and cost per option before committing hardware.

    How long can a custom tracker run on a battery?

    From months to multiple years depending on report frequency and radio choice. That range is exactly why we start with duty-cycle modelling: the same hardware reporting every five minutes versus every six hours differs by an order of magnitude in battery life.

    Why not use an off-the-shelf tracker?

    Off-the-shelf works for generic fleet use. Custom pays off when your constraint is specific: an unusual form factor, multi-year battery life, a harsh environment, indoor positioning, or unit economics at volume — you stop paying for someone else's compromises.

    Do you handle certification for cellular devices?

    Yes. CE under the Radio Equipment Directive, FCC where needed, and module-level carrier requirements are planned into the design from the first PCB revision and executed with our accredited lab partner.

    Can you also build the fleet management side?

    Yes. We build the device management backend, OTA update pipeline and dashboards on Azure, so provisioning and monitoring scale from your pilot batch to thousands of units.
