Mechanical Features
|
Low-profile IP67 rugged housing |
The IP67 rated housing is made of sturdy ABS/Polycarbonate plastic to survive bumps and knocks and is UV stabilised to survive many years in the sun and weather. Its low-profile makes it easier to mount in the corrugation on containers or to conceal on the underside of a trailer. |
| Operating temperature |
-20°C to +60°C The device will operate in temperatures outside this range but battery life will be reduced |
| Dimensions (mm) | L 115 x W 65 x H 20 |
| Weight | 250 grams including batteries |

| 3D Accelerometer | The 3 axis accelerometer allows the Oyster to “sleep” in an ultra-low power state yet still wake up when movement occurs |
| Adaptive Tracking | Adaptive-Tracking technology enables the accelerometer and GPS data to be used intelligently to work out if it is moving and to send frequent live updates, as well as to scale the update rate down to once per day if the asset is stationary in order to preserve battery life |
| AssistNow Offline |
Predicts satellite locations Reduces the time to first fix Improves performance in “urban canyons” |
| Performance Monitoring | Track how the Oyster is using its power with intelligent performance counters. Monitor wakeups, GPS fixes, uploads and more to understand exactly what the device is doing. |
