Pretrace's TC86 is an advanced asset-tracking device available in Satellite, LTE, Cat M, NB-IoT, LoRaWAN and Sigfox variants. It has a large battery for long life-time operation, an integrated accelerometer for precise motion detection, and optional temperature, humidity, pressure and illuminance sensors for comprehensive environmental monitoring.
An RF module can be added to support additional sensors without wiring — a comprehensive solution for asset monitoring and management across various industries.

TC86-N4 trackers installed on industrial gas tanks deliver scheduled position reports every 12 hours with minimal power consumption. Operators maintain daily, at-a-glance visibility and management of their tank fleet, supported by ATEX certification for hazardous-area deployment.

Non-rechargeable battery for 10 years life-time tracking — set and forget.

External power connection with digital and analog inputs for real-time tracking applications.

Large battery with wireless charging for portable and frequent tracking.
