GPS Trackers Featuring Advanced Detection Sensors

GPS trackers have recently taken major strides forward, not only can you covertly track the location of your high value asset, but you can also monitor the in-transit condition. This changes everything for shippers of high value goods, who can now cost effectively and reliably monitor their shipments and improve their loss prevention programs.

Earlier generation GPS trackers offered one major feature, location tracking. Current third generation trackers feature detection for light and vibration, as well as monitoring of pressure, temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions. These advanced sensors can be utilized to extend the effective tracker battery life, which helps ensure the reliability of the tracking “mission”.

Here are some examples of how these sensors add flexibility to covert tracking:

1. Use light detection to determine if a package was opened prior to reaching its destination.
2. Use motion detection to determine if a stationary asset is moved.
3. Use temperature monitoring to determine if a package was exposed to dangerous environmental conditions.
4. Use pressure detection to ensure a tracker is not operating while in flight.

GPS trackers equipped with advanced sensors must have supporting software to enable the desired “mission profile”. GPSit’s TrackFusion fully supports these capabilities and will be further enhanced to allow sophisticated tracking capabilities.

How the GPS trackers communicate is also critical.  Support for broad coverage cellular and WIFI networks ensures reliable tracking.  GPSit partners with top tier network carriers to ensure seamless coverage.  

Extended missions require long battery life.  Battery life is extended via clever use of sensors, but can also be brute force enhanced by adding supplemental external batteries.  GPSit works closely with our customers to ensure that the final tracker configuration will meet or exceed the mission requirements.

GPSit also provides additional environmental protection options, such as our “Slap-n-Stick” cases, enabling the GPS trackers to be quickly and covertly deployed in very harsh conditions.
