GPS tracking device with IOT Technology

Nowadays, IoT play a important roles in M2M manufacture. We can see more and more IoT device manufacturers in the market. These manufacturers connect their devices with the IoT technology,which Promote their devices to have more advantages and application scenarios.

What's more, when GPS device connect with IoT technology, the manufacturers will have more possibilities to change outdated positioning method.

Do you think that what you get when you integrate the Internet of Things with the GPS device?

It is no doubt that you will get a powerful, enhanced tracking service that can be used in a variety of applications to enable fleet management, car tracking, personnel tracking, geriatric care and pet recovery.

Before we understand the advantages of device integration IoT technology, we need to know two professional terms: LTE CAT M1 and NB-IoT

What is the LTE CAT M1 


LTE CAT M1 is a technology for Internet of Things(IoT) devices to connect directly to a 4G network, without a gateway and on batteries. The device with LTE Cat M1 network usually has a longer battery life, and the modules less expensive than regular 4G LTE modules, and better network coverage in building and underground.

What is the NB-IoT


Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT),is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) radio technology standard developed to enable a wide range of devices and services to be connected using cellular telecommunications bands.The device with NB-IoT can  provides very low power consumption,excellent extended range in buildings, underground areas.

Because of the advantages of these two technologies, many device manufacturers are integrating them into hardware devices.

How LTE / NB-iot technology is applied in the field of GPS tracking ?

By connecting LTE / NB-iot technology to GPS tracking devices, which can not only enhance performance of device such as standby time, but also improve the work efficiency of managers and save more time.

What is benefits of LTE / NB-iot GPS device

1.LTE / NB-iot GPS device will consume less power

2. The price is cheaper and the production cost is lower than the true 4G GPS devices
3. Future market potential of LTE / NB network
