SolarLive: the solar-powered GPS tracker for shipping containers
SolarLive tracks containers and other unpowered assets for months at a time, charging itself from the sun. It is rugged, waterproof to IP67 and mounts in minutes with magnets or screws.
Shown to scale
Compact and rugged: 31 mm deep and 370 g, with a built-in solar panel.
Made for life outdoors
SolarLive works from -25 °C to +70 °C, from frozen ports to containers standing in the sun, and its IP67 casing keeps out dust and water.
Why SolarLive
Charges itself from the sun
A built-in solar panel tops up the 9,600 mAh battery, so it keeps tracking on long journeys.
Four satellite systems
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou for fast, accurate positions, typically within 2 m.
Modern IoT networks
LTE-M and NB-IoT for low-power coverage, with 2G as a fallback.
Alerts that matter
Motion, light, temperature, low battery and removal alarms, plus up to 64 geofences.
Expandable with sensors
Bluetooth 5.0 support for optional accessory sensors.
Fits in minutes
Mounts with magnets or screws and is built for harsh conditions.
