|
Battery Life with Adaptive-Tracking
|
The Sting can be set to use Adaptive-Tracking technology where the accelerometer and GPS data are used to intelligently work out if it is moving and to send frequent updates, and to scale the update rate down to once per day if the asset is stationary - to preserve battery life.
18 months @ one position per day (at 25°C)

Housing
|
Sting housing may need modifications for responsive measurements.
|
|
|
Light Sensor
|
|
Location
|
On PCB with a light pipe through the housing.
|
|
Range
|
0.045 – 188’000 Lux.
|
|
Anti-Tamper
|
Configurable anti-tamper can report on light change.
|
|
|
High sensitivity GPS
|
UBLOX MAX-M8Q GPS module
Supports concurrent GPS and GLONASS
72 channel high sensitivity receiver
-167dBm industry leading tracking performance
Optimal hot-start performance
AssistNow Offline aiding data for fast time-to-first-fix and performance in urban canyon environments
|
|
GLONASS
|
The Sting uses both the GPS and GLONASS positioning systems simultaneously.
This allows the device to use twice the number of satellites to get a position fix – making it faster and more accurate.
|
|
Low noise GPS amplifier
|
GPS signals are boosted by a special low-noise amplifier (LNA)
This allows the Sting to operate where normal units will fail to receive GPS signal – like in a container stack!
|
|
SIM Card
|
The Sting uses a micro-SIM card holder (3FF form factor)
|
|
Cellular Communications
|
The Sting can be manufactured for specific markets around the world depending on their modem requirements:
|
2G Modem
|
Quad Band GSM/GPRS Class 10
850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz
|
|
3G Modem – EU
|
850 / 900 / 2100
EMEA / APAC / Latin America
|
LTE-CAT1, CATM and NB-IOT currently in development
Enquire for other bands and LTE / 4G options
|
|
Certifications
|
In progress
|
|
Internal Antennas
|
Internal GPS and Cellular RF antennas tuned by the RF laboratories to ensure optimal performance
|
|
3 axis accelerometer
|
The 3-axis accelerometer allows the Sting to ‘sleep’ in an ultra-low power state yet still wakeup when movement occurs.
Future firmware versions will allow for harsh G-force detection (like assets being dropped or involved in accidents)
|
|
Flash memory
|
The Sting has enough flash to store over 25,000 data records, and will record information even when out of cellular coverage.
The flash memory is also used to store firmware updates, GPS aiding data, parameters and other important information.
A future firmware version will allow for geo-fences to be loaded into the flash memory of the device and used for geo-fence alerting on the device.
