Category: Technology Enhancements

Product: AssetView Mini Tracking System 

Manufacturer: DPL Telematics

Key Innovation: Industry’s smallest, real time tracking unit, can hide on just about anything. The AssetView Mini tracking system is the industry’s smallest, longest lasting, battery powered tracking unit and uses standard AAA batteries which may be replaced and purchased almost anywhere. Unlike other battery powered tracking systems which report their location at set times each day, the Mini uses our proprietary TruTrace Adaptive Tracking to report in more frequently when moving and automatically reduce the update rate when sitting still to maximize battery life while delivering real time locating capabilities.

Manufacturer’s Description: The portable AssetView Mini is the industry's smallest, battery-powered GPS tracking solution for wireless monitoring of any powered or unpowered asset to improve logistics, manage inventory and curb theft. 

The innovative, self-contained GPS tracking solution installs in seconds, requires no external power and can last up to 2.5 years on "off the shelf" AAA batteries. Its proprietary Adaptive Tracking delivers long battery life while actively alerting on curfew violation, movement or geofence breach as well as allowing the user to switch to “Recovery Mode” over the air. The AssetView Mini is waterproof and has no long-term contract so customers can deactivate and reactivate without penalty. 

The unit is the first telematics product of its kind to feature:

  • No external wiring or antenna. Quick, unwired attachment to any asset in a true “hide and track” type installation
  • Internal battery powered. Powered by 3 x AAA 1.5V standard Lithium batteries, customer replaceable
  • Long battery life. Self-powered for 2.5 years on daily updates, up to 6 months on more detailed Adaptive tracking
  • Wireless, two-way communication. Switch to recovery mode or set movement alerts over the air from the software or mobile app
  • Little to no sky view required.  May be hidden inside or under most assets
  • IP 67 rated and UV stabilized design. Waterproof for deployment in harsh environments
  • Compact and completely portable. Measuring only 3.34”x 2.5”x 0.94”, may be rotated between company assets and hidden easily
  • Dual GPS and GLONASS positioning. Faster, more accurate locations by utilizing twice as many satellites as traditional GPS devices
  • Global cellular coverage. Track assets across borders
  • No contract.  Deactivate and reactivate anytime without penalty.
