Bloodhound Tracking Device (BTD) today announced the launch of Tracker 1™, a covert, next-generation security and tracking platform engineered specifically for global intermodal containers. Unlike adapted consumer-grade devices, Tracker 1 is purpose-built to eliminate the connectivity gaps and short battery life common in legacy systems.
“Tracker 1 was architected for the container, not just adapted for it,” said BTD Chief Technology Officer, Jason Soloff. “We’ve engineered a platform that prioritizes redundancy and survivability to ensure total cargo visibility in the most demanding environments.”
Advanced Engineering & Global Connectivity
The Tracker 1 platform integrates high-performance hardware with a multi-layered communications stack:
- Discreet, Rugged Design: A patented, colour-matched enclosure, efficient installation without drilling, wiring, or external antennas, and long, useable battery life, all self-contained.
- Global Coverage: Combines LTE (w fallback), Iridium® satellite communications and a Proprietary IoT Mesh network to ensure continuous reporting.
- Integrated Intelligence Enabled: Features such as high-resolution accelerometers for impact detection, user level programmable geofencing, and a physical tamper switch.
The BTD Tracker 1™ is available immediately for ocean carriers, leasing companies, and logistics providers worldwide, with flexible leasing or purchase options.
Tracker 1 addresses persistent industry challenges such as connectivity loss at sea, short battery life, and limited survivability. The platform combines LTE (with fallback), satellite communications, and a proprietary IoT mesh network to provide continuous visibility across ocean, rail, and inland transport. Installation requires no drilling, wiring, or external antennas.
