- Up to 2 years detailed tracking
- IP67 water and dust proof
- Rugged, robust and low profile
- No install required, simply “place ‘n trace”
- Off-the-shelf, user replaceable AA batteries
- Switch from “locate” to “track” over-the-air
- Battery status and low battery alert
- Integrated accelerometer
- Unauthorised movement alert
APPLICATIONS
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 |

GPS Tracking
|
GPS Module |
High sensitivity assisted GPS receiver, 72 channel |
| GPS/GLONASS | Concurrent GPS/GLONASS |
| Antenna with LNA | Boosted by low-noise amplifier (LNA) allows operation in "urban canyons" and container stacks |
Specifications
|
Sleep Current |
5µA (micro-amps) |
| Batteries |
3 x AA Size 1.5V batteries – alkaline or lithium. Alkaline – industrial type recommended. 1.5V Lithium – longer life and wider temperature range |
| Recovery Mode | Switch from Daily Locate to Live Tracking over- the-air |
| 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 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 |
| Autonomous Aiding Data |
Predicts satellite locations Reduces the time to first fix Improves performance in "urban canyons" |

Sigfox is new radio technology that allows devices to transmit small messages over long range using low power. Sigfox is rolling out a global network and provides a more competitively priced option for devices to connect to the Internet of Things (IoT). Digital matter is developing a range of IoT devices that will operate on the Sigfox network. |
