Introduction

GeoTag provides advanced GPS-enabled asset tracking for professional equipment, enabling near real-time location updates, improving asset security, and reducing operational losses. 

​

GeoTag provides reliable coverage even in remote locations, with zero reliance on bluetooth-enabled smartphone proximity as is the case with consumer trackers. ​

​

System Overview

The standard GeoTag tracker comprises a self-contained tracker module, reliably capturing and serving location data. The tracker includes:

​

• GSM, GPRS & LTE modules for data transmission

• Global SIM for automatic network acquisition in 170+ countries

• GPS & AGPS module for precise location and time capture

 

When in areas with no GSM coverage GeoTag continues to capture location data, transmitting data points when coverage next resumes.

Customisations Available

​

Customised GeoTag trackers can be scoped on request to suit a wide variety of use cases, not limited to:

• Higher capacity battery, extending runtime to e.g. 30, 60, 120 days

• Alternative connector types

• External antennae, allowing placement within metal housing

 

Please contact hello@tazaar.io to discuss your custom requirements.

​

Location Frequency

​

Default interval for updates is 10 minutes. Interval can be configured between 10 seconds and 120 minutes, with impact on battery consumption. 

​

GeoTag trackers are motion-sensitive, and will automatically sleep when stationary to conserve battery.

​

Integration Requirements

 

Circuitry Integration: The GeoTag tracker is designed to be integrated into a host product’s circuitry with minimal interference with existing systems. Separate step-down conversion is required for safe integration into products operating at higher voltages, e.g. 12V.

​

Positioning: The GPS antenna is located in the flat side of the tracker adjacent to the indicator LEDs and SIM access. For optimal readings this side should face toward the sky and ideally separated from metal surfaces. 

​

Configuration: All GeoTag trackers are fully pre-configured prior to delivery and are expected to work immediately on first charge without further configuration.

 

LED Indicators

​

The GeoTag tracker comes with colour LEDs for indicating its status. 

​

Red LED = Power Signal: Fast Flash (Low Battery), Slow Flash (Normal), Continuous (Charging)

Orange LED = GSM Signal: Fast Flash (Searching), Slow Flash (Normal), Continuous (No Signal)

Blue LED = GPS Signal: Fast Flash (Searching), Slow Flash (Normal)

Battery percentage can also be seen on the GeoTag web platform. 

 

Power On/Off

​

After first power-on, GeoTag remains on until the battery reaches zero or manually powered off. Even after the battery reaches zero, GeoTag will power on automatically if the battery is partially recharged. This means it is not necessary to use the power button at all, if so desired. ​​

 

Global Coverage

​

GeoTag utilises a global SIM card which automatically selects a local operator in over 170 countries and regions including Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa and Oceania. Please contact hello@tazaar.io to ensure coverage is available in your operational regions. 

​

Please note that the availability of network technologies (e.g., 2G, 3G, 4G) varies by country and is subject to change over time. While we strive to provide accurate coverage information, changes to network infrastructure may impact service in some regions beyond our control. 

​​

Compliance

​

The GeoTag tracker conforms with RoHS and CE requirements. 

​

Support and Maintenance

​

Technical support is available Monday - Friday, 0830-1730 UK Time, excluding bank holidays. Please contact support@tazaar.io

 

GeoTag utilises mature and stable technologies; firmware updates are not anticipated during the lifetime of the tracker.
