| GNSS Assistance | GNSS almanac data for greater sensitivity and position accuracy |
| Low Noise Amplifier | GPS signals are filtered and boosted by a SAW filter and low-noise amplifier (LNA) allowing operation where other units fail |
| Cell Tower Location | Cell tower fallback for positioning when there is no GNSS or Wi-Fi signal |
| Wi-Fi Positioning | Indoor asset location using Wi-Fi access point scanning (device does not connect to Wi-Fi) |
POWER
| Input Voltage | 3-5.5V DC |
| Sleep Current | <10uA* *Average current in lowest power configuration |
MECHANICS / DESIGN
| Dimensions | 108 x 86 x 30 mm (4.25 x 3.39 x 1.18″) |
| Weight | 157 g (5.5 oz) |
| Housing | Non-branded housing for optional white-labeling |
| IP/IK Rating | Ultra-rugged and waterproof IP68 and IK07-rated housing ensures the Oyster Edge can withstand impact, fine dust, and brief submersion |
| Installation | Compact and concealable. Multiple installation options for covertly and easily securing the device to assets with screws, bolts, cable ties, rivets, and more. Stainless steel screws supplied. |
| Operating Temperature | -30°C to +60°C For operation in extreme temperatures use Lithium Batteries |
| Cellular Antenna | Internal |
| GPS Antenna | Internal |
| Wi-Fi Antenna | Internal |
| 3-Axis Accelerometer | 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement, high G-force events, and more |
| Diagnostic LED | Diagnostic LED indicates operation status |
| Flash Memory | Stores records if device is out of cellular coverage. Storage capacity for over 10 days of 2-minute logging. |
| Speed and Heading | Scanning technology used on the Oyster Edge does not return speed and heading |
| On-Board Temperature | The device reports internal temperature which provides an indication of ambient temperature but may not always be precise |
SMARTS
| Auto-APN | Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware |
| Battery Life Monitoring | “Battery Low” and “Battery Critical” alert levels |
| Geofence Alerts | The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations |
| Impact Detection | Configure impact-detection alerts when G-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold |
| Intelligent Power Management | Early registration abort and location scan throttling options |
| Periodic or Movement-Based Tracking | Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate, providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary. |
| Preventative Maintenance | Set reminders based on distance traveled and run hours to reduce maintenance and repair costs |
| Run Hour Monitoring | Capture run hours based on movement to understand and optimize asset utilization |
| Sleep Mode | Stationary devices enter sleep mode until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimize data usage |
| Theft Recovery | Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval |
| Tip Detection & Rotation Counting | Axis angle reporting, tip detection and rotation counting |
DEVICE MANAGEMENT
| Flexible Configuration | Configure device parameters such as position update rate, movement and accelerometer settings, and more to fit any tracking application |
