  • MORE
  • Global asset tracking is plagued by persistent ‘black spots’ where cellular coverage fails. For solution providers and systems integrators delivering enterprise-scale deployments across remote industries like logistics, agriculture and mining, this leaves critical assets invisible in remote or hard to reach regions.Engineering a solution that survives these extreme environments typically demands a trade-off: high hardware costs, built in power source, or frequent battery maintenance - creating barriers to adoption. The design challenge was to develop an affordable, rugged and low-complexity tracking solution capable of delivering continuous, hybrid connectivity and reliable performance without requiring specialised installation or ongoing field intervention.

  • AssetHawk overcomes the "visibility gap" by mastering the power-intensive transition between cellular and satellite networks. Our breakthrough hybrid firmware ensures zero-gap tracking without sacrificing a 5-10 year battery life. The device’s design matured through four customer-driven iterations: - Perfecting satellite tracking for moving assets- Integrating replaceable batteries, rapid magnetic mounting and motion-sensing - Adding anti-tamper security and BLE sensing capabilities for additional environmental data- Launching terrestrial capabilities With the addition of a RESTful API layer for seamless interoperability with existing visualisation platforms, we’ve delivered a sophisticated systems engineering solution that ensures continuous visibility for global fleets, shipping, and machinery anywhere on Earth.

  • AssetHawk empowers key industries by delivering critical location and environmental data. Commercially: Democratises enterprise-grade tracking, allowing remote industries to optimise fleet utilisation and protect margins through an affordable, scalable edge solution. Environmentally: AssetHawk actively combats electronic and industrial waste, preventing machinery loss and eliminating the need for unreliable, single-use monitoring tags, while simultaneously cutting food waste through cold chain monitoring.Societally: The device strengthens global resource security and worker safety - driving operational effectiveness. AssetHawk serves as an exemplar of engineering for impact - driving industrial progress, reducing environmental footprints, and ensuring that no critical asset is ever "off the grid" again.

  • Integrated Antenna & GNSS EngineeringAssetHawk features internally mounted, high-gain terrestrial and satellite antennas paired with high-precision GNSS. This integrated approach maintains a low-profile, snag-free form factor while ensuring reliable signal acquisition in challenging industrial environments. Power Management & IntelligenceThe device is engineered for ultra-low power consumption, achieving up to a decade of autonomous field life from just two standard AA lithium batteries. An onboard accelerometer drives an Adaptive Tracking System; this intelligent edge-processing autonomously scales reporting frequency based on movement, optimising data costs and battery health without user intervention. Industrial ResilienceThe IP68-rated, UV-resistant enclosure is purpose-built for longevity. It’s engineered to withstand submersion, heavy dust ingress, extreme thermal fluctuations, and high-impact vibration, ensuring the internal electronics remain protected on heavy machinery or shipping containers. Enterprise-Grade SecurityData integrity is maintained via the HyperPulse network, with 3GPP standards-based private, trusted data paths. This superior resilience against signal disruptions and cyber breaches meets the rigorous security requirements of global enterprise logistics. Rapid ScalabilityWith versatile magnetic, adhesive, or mechanical mounting options, AssetHawk eliminates the need for specialised technicians or vehicle modifications. This "out-of-the-box" readiness allows Solution Providers to scale fleet visibility from pilot to thousands of units in days.
