  • Environment
  • Outdoor 

  • Constellations
  • Concurrent GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou

  • Low Noise Amplifier
  • GPS signals are filtered and boosted by a SAW filter and low-noise amplifier (LNA) allowing operation where other units fail. 

  • Location Accuracy*
  •  ~1m CEP 

     

     * Positioning accuracy specifications are provided by the module supplier and reflect ideal conditions. Device configuration, installation, environmental conditions, augmentation services, and many other factors may lead to variations in positioning accuracy. 

  • User-Replaceable Batteries
  • 3 x AA. Batteries not included.
    Widely available at most hardware or retail locations. 

  • Supported Battery Types
  • Lithium or Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LTC)
    Battery selection is very important. Follow this link to learn more. Please dispose of Lithium batteries in a safe and responsible manner. 

  • Battery Life Estimates*
  • Once Daily location updates – 10 years
    Movement-Based location updates** – 2.5 years
    Hourly location updates – 2 years 

  • Sleep Current
  • <10uA
    Average current in lowest power state. 

     

    * Battery life estimates are influenced by several factors including temperature, installation and orientation of the device, battery selection, the frequency of location updates, network coverage, sensor integrations, peripherals, accelerometer settings, and more. Battery life calculators are available at support.digitalmatter.com.

    ** Movement-based estimates are based on 2 hours of movement, occurring 5 days a week, with default trip tracking parameters (location updates every 3 minutes and uploads every 30 minutes). Devices can be configured to provide more frequent location updates when the asset is in motion which will impact battery life. 

  • Dimensions
  • 108 x 86 x 30 mm (4.25 x 3.39 x 1.18 in) 

  • Housing
  • Non-branded nylon glass housing is suitable for white labeling. 

  • IP/IK Rating
  • Ultra-rugged and waterproof IP68 and IK07-rated housing ensures the device 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 provided.

  • Temperature Range
  • Operating: -30°C to +60°C
