IoTrack
Positioning without GPS
Positioning without GPS is now a reality. Let us introduce our newest feature IoTrack, an option to GPS, soon available in all our IoT devices. The first test for IoTrack was done in Northern Finland with the IoT device Aistin Motion. The route length from Kajaani to Haukipudas was ~200km and a positioning interval of 5 minutes was used. IoTrack is based on Nordic Semiconductor nRF9160 SIP with 4G NB IoT/CatM1 functionality.
- IoTrack works also indoors where there is no satellite coverage.
- Significantly lower power consumption enables drastically longer operating times for battery-operated devices.
- Enables totally new positioning related use cases.
New test runs expected soon, stay tuned.
