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.
