With a unique functionality of operating as a real-time GPS tracker when tethered to power (to the truck) and as an asset tracker with a battery life of up to 5 years once trailers are detached and parked for long periods of time, Wireless Links’ one-of-a-kind Piccolo Hybrid+, a dual mode GPS tracker for trailer, helps businesses:
How it works:
When externally powered (tethered to the power of the trailer), the Piccolo Hybrid operates in real-time vehicle tracking mode sending GPS in high frequency, for example every minute.
Once power is disconnected, the Piccolo Hybrid automatically switches to Asset Tracking (AT) mode providing complete visibility onto the whereabouts of your assets, sending a GPS check in 1/ day when parked (user-definable).
In AT Mode, once movement/vibration is detected, the unit will automatically wake up, send an alert and will report more frequently for as long as the vibration continues. For example, every 30 minutes (user configurable).
