Accurate asset tracking delivers a major competitive edge in today’s complex, global logistics landscape with real-time data analysis and fully digital supply chains.
Asset tracking goes well beyond location. It includes continuous environmental monitoring, indications of how long a shipment has remained in a truck or warehouse, and whether it has been tampered with or mishandled. This information can be used to resolve disputes, support insurance claims, or drive supply chain improvements that save money and improve efficiency.
Asset trackers require highly optimized hardware providing low-power connectivity and location transceivers to enable long battery life, in a small package at an affordable cost.
Altair cellular IoT chips are ideal for asset trackers, designed from the ground up for ultra-low power consumption, featuring a hardware-based security engine, integrated SIM (iSIM), and GNSS functionality — all in a miniature-sized SiP.
Supply chains often span multiple geographies, requiring asset tracking devices to support worldwide coverage. Deployed in hundreds of designs, Altair’s solutions are certified by leading operators worldwide to ensure seamless connectivity for asset tracking devices across a range of geographical regions.
The small form factor of Altair chips enables compact, portable devices that are easy to place on any asset.
The ALT1250 modem is highly integrated in a small footprint. It embeds all required components for cellular IoT connectivity, including LTE-M/NB-IoT modem, MCU, integrated SIM, and GNSS, enabling miniature module sizes as small as 100mm².
The integrated SIM leads to greater cost efficiency through fewer materials, easier provisioning, and simplified logistics. A single SKU combining multiple components minimizes disposable materials and logistics overhead, ensuring greater sustainability and faster time to market.
With the ALT1250 CAT-M and NB-IoT modem, you gain the first and only security architecture approved by tier-1 operators, with built-in security designed from the bottom up. OTA upgrades keep the tracker relevant and secure years after installation.
At Altair, we are committed to our customers’ success. Backed by years of cellular experience and a commitment to the highest quality, we offer the optimal cellular IoT chips for a comprehensive asset tracking solution.
