The asset trackers are designed to be fitted and forget about, they will just sit there doing there thing, reporting in every 12 hours by default.

We currently supply 2 different types of asset tracker

The GPSBob Asset which lasts between 1-2 years, but can be recharged once flat

And the GPSBob Long Life Asset Tracker which will last 5 years and beyond, the battery must be replaced once flat

These devices get such great battery life as they only report in 2 times a day, once in the morning and once in the evening as default. This can be updated via the platform to up to every hour, and they can be enabled to track when detecting motion.

With these devices you have the option to put them into either Transit Mode where you can set it to report up to every hour and also every 5 minutes whilst moving, or Static Mode where you can set it to report up to every hour regardless of motion state. All done from a simple interface within the software platform.

All the devices we supply do have batteries. The portable devices have larger batteries giving longer life, whereas the vehicle devices have a small internal battery, as they are connected to power of the vehicle it is rarely used. If they do become disconnected the battery will last a couple of hours and they will also give an unplugged alert.

Unlike many of our competitors, GPSBob don’t charge monthly subscription fees or tie you into contracts. With low upfront costs from as little as only £159, GPSBob is the affordable solution for your needs.
