Solar Powered
Choose a mounting position with good exposure to daylight. Plan the reporting schedule around how the trailer or container is used and where it is parked.
The solar powered Piccolo ATX2S wireless GPS tracker is packaged in an ultra rugged IP67 waterproof enclosure with a rechargeable battery capacity of sending up to 10,000 GPS positions on a single charge. The large solar panel charges the integrated rechargeable lithium battery with power equivalent to the transmission of up to 20 GPS positions a day,
The Piccolo ATX2S IoT acts as an IoT Gateway communicating with our family of IoT Tags and uploading the IoT data to the server—for all-around connected operations.
Explore shipping-container tracking or compare our full GPS and IoT asset-tracking range.
Use the Piccolo ATX2S IoT Telematics Platform for countless applications.
Integrated solar panel recharges the unit at an equivalent rate of up to 20 GPS positions/day, removing maintenance needs.
Houses up to two large 7800Mamp rechargeable lithium batteries. Each battery can transmit up to 5,000 GPS positions when fully charged. When packaged with two 7800Mamp batteries, the ATX2S can transmit a total of up to 10,000 GPS positions.
ruggedized, purpose built to withstand harsh environments.
Plan which assets and IoT tags should be associated with each ATX2S gateway so the team can review their data together.

Choose a mounting position with good exposure to daylight. Plan the reporting schedule around how the trailer or container is used and where it is parked.
Set separate GPS reporting intervals for stationary and moving assets. When vibration is detected, the unit wakes automatically, sends an alarm and switches to its configured motion reporting interval.
When the Piccolo ATX2S is wired to an external power source such as trailer connected to the cabin, the ATX2S internal batteries will be charged and the ATX2S will operate in real-time sending GPS say every minute. When the cabin disconnects from the trailer the external power is disconnected and the ATX2S will automatically switch to be powered by the internal battery and will switch to asset tracking mode (described above).
Include solar-panel exposure in installation checks, especially when assets are stored under cover or parked beside other equipment.
Select the battery configuration around the expected time between charging opportunities. The battery capacities and reporting figures are listed in the battery overview above.
Support for various sensors including temperature, pressure, load, light and more.
The Piccolo ATX2S can change the frequency of transmitting GPS when entering a pre-configured geo-fence.
Reconfigure the Piccolo ATX2S Over the Air (OTA) or by sending SMS commands.
Designed for harsh environments, the ATX2S is housed in a robust IP67 waterproof enclosure.
ATX2S can be mounted in place with: heavy duty magnets, mounting bracket or with 3M Heavy Duty Tape.
When an event is detected, the Piccolo ATX2S is programmable to send an SMS alarm to mobile phones together with the current GPS coordinates.
When equipped with the optional wire-harness, the ATX2S supports 2 Digital inputs, 1 Digital Output and 1 Analog Input, for event logs such as door open/close, alarm link and various types of sensors
The unit can change the frequency of transmitting GPS when entering a pre-configured geofence to be detected at first ATX-2S wake up.
Sends to the server the battery level it currently operates on and current temperature inside the unit.
For automatic security theft alarm and motion detection
The unit detects when the vehicle is moving. Extremely low power consumption achieved by innovative battery management to preserve battery life.
The unit can store up to 5,000 events when out of cellular coverage then sends them automatically when back in cellular coverage
