Tracker One RF Transceiver Module

A field-ready and open referenced product, Particle Industries’ Tracker One is fully certified, immediately deployable, and requires no additional development. iTracker One’s hardware and firmware are open sourced and can be customized to suit unique needs or act as a reference design for a fully custom product designed by either the customer’s engineering team or by Particle's in-house development team.

Tracker SoM is a powerful, configurable, and extensible IoT system on module (SoM) that builds on Particle's Tracking Services foundation and provides a powerful MCU, GNSS, and advanced peripherals in a compact form factor. Tracker SoM serves as an accelerated starting point to organizations that require a tailored tracking solution for sophisticated asset tracking plus applications as well as a fully-certified foundation for original equipment manufacturers developing commercial IoT products.

Technical Specifications

• Includes the asset tracker SoM mounted on carrier board and installed in an IP67-rated enclosure
• Cellular: highly reliable LTE CAT M1 (NA) (Quectel BG96), LTE CAT 1 with 3G, 2G fallback (EMEAA) (Quectel EG91-EX)
• IP67-rated M8 connector includes CAN Bus, UART, GPIO, and power for simple expansion
• GNSS provided by u-blox NEO-M8U with onboard dead-reckoning for up to 1.8 m CEP50 GPS accuracy
• Wi-Fi® location via onboard ESP32 with SSID scanning for third-party Wi-Fi location services
• Powerful and efficient MCU: Nordic Semiconductor nRF52840 SoC Arm® Cortex®-M4F 32-bit processor at 64 MHz with 1 MB Flash, 256 KB RAM, and Bluetooth®
• Flexible power supply accepts 4.5 V to 30 V power supply (105 V may be used if connecting power direct to the carrier board without using the M8 connector). Also accepts 5 V supply via USB-C. Switched LiPo battery connector, charge LED, backup battery for GPS and RTC
• PMIC and fuel gauge: integrated power management, LiPo charger, and battery connector
• High-precision thermistor: with accuracy to 1%
• USB-C®: for flashing, debugging, and power with higher charging rates than micro-USB
• RGB LED: for use as both a user-configurable device as well as Particle status information
• Backup battery: for RTC and GNSS
• Open asset tracker library: complete, ready-to-use asset-tracking application enables rapid implementation and time to market
• Extensible: modular implementation with user hooks means that it is easy to add your sensors to the application and report that data along with location data
• Configurable: publish is configurable by Particle console
• Location service: the Particle console offers snapshot and historical location viewing. This includes location, battery, IMU, and temperature data. Locations can be filtered by group or devices characteristics
• Data storage: location data is stored in the Particle cloud for analysis, reporting, and retention
• Publish configuration: publish rates and triggers can be configured from the Particle console by product or device
• Configuration on wakeup: the asset tracker can go to sleep and be configured from settings created in the console on wakeup
• Sleep configuration: deep sleep can be enabled or disabled. Sleep on low battery
• Configurable crash detection: wake on IMU, crash, and threshold publishing may be configured
• Secure database storage: all data is stored encrypted to ensure GDPR compliance
