Product Overview
The IoT Pro – Location Tracker Module is a multi-purpose industrial asset tracking device designed to provide precise location visibility and operational status of mobile and remote assets across diverse environments.
A key characteristic of the module is its flexible power architecture, allowing deployment on both unpowered and externally powered assets:
-
For unpowered assets, the device supports high-capacity internal batteries up to 17Ah, enabling multi-year autonomous operation with optimised GNSS and transmission duty cycles.
-
For powered assets, the module can operate from an external DC supply (10–30V) while maintaining an internal rechargeable battery backup, for security purposes.
The module combines multi-constellation GNSS positioning, low-power embedded architecture, and integrated I/O interfaces, enabling it to function as a reliable edge tracking node for asset monitoring systems.
It is engineered for retrofit deployment on existing assets such as containers, vehicles, machinery, and infrastructure equipment without requiring integration into existing control systems.
From a system architecture perspective, the device operates as an independent telemetry node, capturing location, movement behaviour, and auxiliary signals (e.g. ignition, access, sensor states), and transmitting structured data suitable for integration into fleet management, asset tracking, and infrastructure monitoring platforms.
The module is a long-term industrial tracking device designed for predictable behaviour, low maintenance, and stable integration over extended deployment lifecycles.
Typical Installation Points
The IoT Pro Location Tracker Module is typically deployed on mobile, semi-mobile, or remote assets where location visibility and operational awareness are required. These installations often involve harsh environmental exposure, limited accessibility, and long service intervals, requiring robust hardware and multi-year autonomous operation.

Movement & Tracking Behaviour
The module supports configurable tracking logic, enabling:
-
Periodic location updates (time-based)
-
Movement-triggered reporting (tilt / motion-based)
-
Event-based transmission (e.g. ignition, access events)
This allows deployments to balance tracking granularity with power consumption, depending on application requirements.
Channel Architecture
The IoT Pro Location Tracker Module maintains the same scalable I/O architecture as other IoT Pro modules, enabling hybrid tracking + sensing deployments.
