KCS BV, based in Dordrecht (NL) has extended its successful TraceME product line with a low-budget track-and trace module based on LoRa™ technology.

The TM-900/N1C1 combines different technologies for traceability (e.g. GPS, LoRa™, Bluetooth LE, ANT/ANT+ and proprietary RF). Traditional national telecom costs are eliminated because of the absence of GPRS/SMS.
 

The combined LoRa™ and 2.4 GHz. RF technologies offer tracing over a wide area up to 10 km. The rough tracing from 10 km down to 300 m is done by LoRa™, while the short-range tracing is done by the proprietary RF-technique, which offers excellent indoor and outdoor tracing with an accuracy up to 1.5 m. 

Unique features: minimum size (49.6x15x7.5 mm), weight (3.4 grams) and a standby battery lifespan of more than 10 years. Temperature-, humidity- and acceleration sensors as well as solar powering enable the integration of TraceME into a variety of custom specific (M2M) applications.
