No engine.
No power. No problem.
Trailers, containers, generators and equipment. Mount it once and it reports for years on batteries you can buy at any hardware store.
Years, not months. You choose which.
Reporting frequency decides everything. Once-daily updates run past ten years. Movement-based reporting runs six. Hourly runs three and a half.
- Once-daily updates: 10+ years
- Movement-based updates: 6 years
- Hourly updates: 3.5 years
It lives where the asset lives.
An IP68 waterproof, UV-stable housing rated from -20°C to +60°C, on low-power networks designed for exactly this.
- LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT, built for asset tracking
- 3-axis accelerometer wakes it on movement
- High-G events and after-hours activity detected onboard
Put it on the trailer and leave it there.
What the numbers below mean for something parked outside with no power to it.
Mount it once and it keeps reporting
Ten years on three AA lithium cells, if it checks in once a day. Six years on movement, three and a half on hourly.
It still works where there is no signal
It holds over 48,000 records onboard and sends them once it picks up coverage again.
It stays outside all winter
IP68 waterproof and UV-stable, rated from −20°C to +60°C.
You hear about it the night it moves
A 3-axis accelerometer wakes the tracker on movement and flags after-hours activity, so a machine leaving the yard at 2 a.m. is an alert instead of a Monday discovery.
Recovery starts with a location, not a guess
When something does walk off, the police get a position and a timestamp rather than a description and a serial number.
You can prove which assets earn their keep
Movement history turns into utilization: what's working, what's sitting, and what you're renting a second one of for no good reason.
IQ-BATT-3 or IQ-BATT-5?
Both mount without wiring and both run for years on hardware-store lithium cells. They part ways on where the asset actually sits.
This one, when the asset lives outside
Three cells instead of two, and over 48,000 records held onboard, so a container in a dead zone for weeks still hands over the whole history. It's the workhorse for yards, lots and open ground.
IQ-BATT-5, when it goes indoors, gets washed, or gets cold
Wi-Fi positioning covers the indoor gap, IP69K survives a pressure washer, and the −40°C rating covers winters this model isn't rated for. It's slimmer too.
