Solar GPS smart lock

A padlock
that calls you.

It secures the container, tracks where the container is, and tells you the second someone opens it or cuts the cable. One device instead of a lock and a tracker that don't know about each other.

The door event and the map pin agree.

Bolt a tracker to a container and you learn where it went. You don't learn that the doors were open for eleven minutes at a truck stop outside Barstow.

IQ-LOCK is the lock, so the open, the close, the cut and the position all come off one device with one timestamp. That's a story you can hand to a claims adjuster.

  • Locking, unlocking and cable-cut alarms
  • GNSS position with GPS and GLONASS, or GPS and BeiDou
  • Under 2.5 m accuracy, autonomous
  • Motion detection onboard
Access control

Nobody carries a key to everything.

A physical padlock has one answer to "who can open this": whoever is holding the key. That's fine until the key is on a ring in a truck you no longer control.

  • RFID card at the door for the driver on the run
  • Bluetooth from a phone standing next to it
  • Remote unlock from the office when the truck arrives
  • SMS command when there's no data, only signal
  • MD5 and AES256 encryption on the link

In practice

Where a smart lock earns it.

What the spec lines mean for a container sitting in a yard, or a load crossing three states.

It powers itself in a yard

A solar panel keeps a 14400 mAh cell topped up, which is what makes it realistic on a container nobody touches for a month. USB-C charging covers the stretch it spends buried in a stack.

A cut cable is an alert, not a discovery

Cutting raises an alarm the moment it happens, so the response starts while the truck is still findable rather than at the receiving dock.

Geofences work without a round trip

Up to 64 regions live on the device, so it knows it has left an approved yard without waiting to ask a server.

Access changes without a locksmith

Add or revoke an RFID card, or unlock remotely for one delivery. Changing who can open a load doesn't mean recalling keys.

It holds itself while you thread it

A built-in magnet keeps the body against the door, which matters when you're feeding a 400 mm cable through a latch one-handed in the rain.

It reports where everything else reports

Locks, trailers and trucks all land on one map, in one account.

Common questions

Asked about IQ-LOCK.

How is this different from putting a tracker on the container?
A tracker tells you where the container went. IQ-LOCK is the lock, so it also decides who gets it open and tells you the moment someone tries. You get the door event and the position from the same device, which is the difference between knowing a load was opened and finding out later that something is missing.
How does a driver open it?
Whichever way suits the run. An RFID card at the door, Bluetooth from a phone standing next to it, or a remote unlock sent from the office when the truck arrives. Nobody has to carry a key that opens every load in the fleet.
What happens if someone cuts the cable?
That's an alarm, not a silence. Cutting the cable raises an alert, as do locking and unlocking, so a forced entry reaches you while it's happening rather than at the delivery.
Does the solar panel mean I never charge it?
It means daylight keeps topping it up, which is what makes it practical on a container that sits in a yard for months. It also charges over USB-C, taking about 30 hours from a 5V 1A adapter, for the stretch after it has been in a stack with no sun on it.
Can I set it to warn me when a load leaves an area?
Yes. It holds up to 64 geofence regions on the device itself, so the alert doesn't depend on a round trip to the network to work out that something has moved.
Is there a contract?
No. Every AirIQ subscription is month-to-month, with no auto-renewal and no early-termination fee. Cancel by calling 1-888-606-6444.

Lock the load, and know the moment it opens.

We'll show you the door events and the map on the same screen as your trucks, then you decide. No contract either way.
