Custom GPS Asset Tracker, from Circuit Board to Dashboard
We designed a GPS asset-tracker from the circuit board up, so defense, logistics and industrial users can track their assets on their own dashboard at a fraction of the cost, without routing position data through a third-party cloud.

The problem
Commercial asset trackers are costly and route position data through third-party clouds, so you pay more and give up control of where your assets are.
Solution & architecture
An embedded GPS tracker (built from scratch at the hardware level on a hand-soldered perfboard with an embedded microcontroller and GPS receiver) streams position to a private dashboard at a fraction of the cost, with telemetry landing on the client's own infrastructure and geo-fencing built in.
Why it is built this way
Private data path
Telemetry lands on the client's own infra
Built from the board up
Hardware-level control, not a resold tracker
Fraction of the cost
Versus commercial alternatives
