Introduction
CloudTrack is a unique end-to-end asset tracking service that provides the ultimate in ultra-low-power meter-level location and global connectivity for IoT asset tracking devices.
CloudTrack combines reliable positioning with data communication, cloud intelligence, and best-in-class energy savings into an all-in-one service. CloudTrack offers simple contractless per-location-request plans available anywhere in the world.
The service includes a comprehensive asset tracking application and works exclusively with u-blox cellular + positioning combination modules to deliver an ultra-low-power asset tracking solution that is unmatched in the industry.
Benefits
The most significant advantage of CloudTrack is its exceptional 6X energy savings, compared to the power-intensive nature of obtaining a standalone GNSS fix and transmitting data securely over the internet (using a SARA-R422M10 to compare CloudTrack with conventional methods).
CloudTrack offers simple, no-contract, per-location-request plans accessible worldwide, offering businesses a predictable pay-as-you-go pricing model without hidden costs or worries about data usage.
Secure, low-power IoT data connectivity between device and cloud provides seamless roaming in 190 countries.
IoT data connectivity between device and cloud, with seamless roaming in 190 countries
Locate your assets in all scenarios by using the best-available combination of GNSS signals and cellular or Wi-Fi attributes
Easy to transform data in the cloud and integrate with tracking dashboard applications, major cloud platforms, and enterprise backend systems
The CloudTrack application handles all the complex interfaces on-device interfaces
Works exclusively with u-blox combo modules as an optimized solution for IoT asset tracking
Basic principles
CloudTrack works exclusively with u-blox CEL + GNSS combo modules to optimize IoT asset tracking. The CloudTrack application handles all the complex interfaces between the cellular modem, the GNSS receiver, and the Wi-Fi module (if available). Our Thingstream SIM card provides ultra-low-power, secure, global connectivity.
CloudTrack delivers the location based on the priorities that you set and the data available:
• Location in cloud: When a few updates per day are required. Calculates position in cloud for ultra-low power.
• Location in cloud (no/poor GNSS): Calculates approximate position using cellular and Wi-Fi network attributes.
• Location on device: When frequent updates are required. Utilizes assisted GNSS for faster TTFF and low power.
