Features a large 7800 mAH rechargeable lithium battery capacity and packaged in a compact IP67 waterproof enclosure, sending up to 5,000 GPS positions on a single charge with integrated GPS and cellular antennas, available on 4G CATM1/NB1 networks worldwide with fallback to 2G. With over the air configuration, SMS alarms on unauthorized vibrations and auto alerts when external power is disconnected/connected, the Piccolo Hybrid is the industry leading trailer tracking device purpose built to track all types of trailers.
The Piccolo Hybrid+ solves trailer tracking challenges by combining tethered 7-pin electrical harness power with a long-life internal rechargeable battery.
When hooked to a tractor, it charges its internal battery and provides frequent trip tracking. When unhooked in a yard, it conserves power while maintaining location pings.
Supported sensor and input options can add door, cargo, temperature, and other trailer-condition data alongside location and movement history.
Uses external power when tethered and internal power when the trailer is disconnected.
Bridge BLE tags for tool tracking, cold storage, and ELD tablets.
See how Piccolo Hybrid combines externally powered, battery-backed GPS tracking with BLE IoT sensors for trailer, cargo, and temperature visibility.

The Piccolo Hybrid also serves as a small-size autonomous container or asset tracker with a battery life of up to 5 years or up to 5000 GPS on a single charge when powered by the internal 7800 mAH rechargeable lithium battery, making it also suitable for construction equipment tracking.
In addition to its GPS trailer tracking functionality, The Piccolo Hybrid acts as an IoT Gateway communicating with our family of IoT Tags and uploading the IoT data to the server - for an all around connected fleet.
Use the Piccolo Hybrid IoT telematics platform for trailer and asset tracking
When powered by the large 7800Mamp battery can report up to 5,000 GPS positions off a single charge. Once external power is restored, the internal battery will recharge. Ideal battery life for a trailer GPS Tracker
2 digital inputs, 1 digital output and 1 analog input allow for various types of sensors such as pressure, temperature, engine on/off, vibration alarm, door open/close and more.
Supports up to 6 wired digital temperature sensors, allowing you to monitor up to 6 different cold zones simultaneously.
Auto alarm with GPS location when the unit moves in and out of a predetermined zone
Various IoT BLE tags have been integrated with the Piccolo Hybrid IoT. This functionality enables device to act as an IoT Gateway which is used to process and forward the IoT data to the server- for an all around connected fleet.
Auto alert when and where the external power is connected / disconnected.
Easily reconfigure the Piccolo Hybrid+ OTA or by sending SMS commands.
When an event is detected, the Piccolo Hybrid is programmable to send an SMS alarm to mobile phones together with the current GPS coordinates.
Highly compressed OTA, UDP communication packaged with MidLink Middleware and “Plug & Play" API or DLL for quick integration into any third party software
The unit can change the frequency of transmitting GPS when entering a pre-configured geofence to be detected at first Hybrid+ wake up.
With every GPS message, the Hybrid+ sends to the server the battery level it currently operates on and current temperature inside the unit.
The unit detects when the vehicle is moving. Extremely low power consumption achieved by innovative battery management to preserve battery life.
for automatic security theft alarm and motion detection
The unit can store up to 5,000 events when out of cellular coverage then sends them automatically when back in cellular coverage.
Dual Mode operation for Trailer Tracking When the Piccolo Hybrid is wired to an external power source such as trailer connected to the cabin, the internal battery will be charged and the Hybrid will operate in real-time sending GPS say every minute.
When the cabin disconnects from the trailer the external power is disconnected and the Hybrid will automatically switch to be powered by the internal battery and will switch to asset tracking mode
Can be preprogramed to send the GPS location every XX hours (usually once a day) when the asset is in stop position. When vibration is detected the unit wakes up automatically and sends an alarm and switches to motion mode sending GPS every XX minutes for as long as the asset is in motion mode (usually every 60 minutes).
The Piccolo Hybrid IoT can be supplied with a DC plug in place of the wire harness. With this configuration, the Piccolo Hybrid IoT serves as a standalone, autonomous container or asset tracker with a 5-year battery life or up to 5000 GPS on a single charge when powered by the internal 7800 mAH rechargeable lithium battery.
