We are pleased to introduce the Asset5, the latest addition to our Series 5 product line. Asset5 is more than just an asset tracking device - it's a gateway to new applications and industries.
Expanding possibilities with Asset5
One notable use case is backup tracking, where Asset5 serves as a secondary tracker in vehicles. If the primary tracker fails or is tampered with, Asset5 seamlessly takes over, ensuring continuous location data transmission. This feature is invaluable for:
- Insurance industry applications
- High-value cargo transport
- Rental fleet management
How Asset5 sets a new standard in Ruptela's product line
1. Effortless installation
Asset5 is designed for simple and secure mounting using optional magnetic holders. These magnets are strong enough to ensure the device stays firmly in place, even in mobile or rugged environments, without requiring any drilling or permanent modifications.
2. Battery-powered autonomy
Unlike other devices that rely on external power sources, Asset5 operates entirely on internal, replaceable 2xAA lithium thionyl chloride batteries. This setup ensures:
- Up to 3 years of operation with original batteries when sending 2 location messages per day
- No need for external power connections, simplifying deployment in remote or mobile environments
3. Tamper detection
Asset5 features a tamper button that detects unauthorized housing openings. This provides additional security, triggering alerts in case of tampering and ensuring sensitive assets and inventory tracking is always under control.
Asset5 compared to other GPS asset trackers
1. Compact size
Measuring just 70 x 56 x 28 mm, Asset5 is one of the most compact 4G+2G GPS asset tracking hardware available, facilitating easy installation even in tight spaces.
2. Configurable action button
The built-in button can be customized to trigger specific alerts, switch the tracker from storage mode to operating mode, or trigger BLE advertisement and accessibility via the mDMP app.
3. User-friendly battery replacement
Replacing Asset5's batteries is straightforward:
- Open the device housing
- Remove the old batteries, noting their orientation
- Insert new batteries, matching the positive and negative ends appropriately
- Close the housing securely
4. Wireless configuration via BLE app
Asset5 can be configured without any cables using Ruptela's mDMP app, available for mobile devices. This feature streamlines setup and adjustments.
5. Advanced technology platform
Asset5 is built on a cutting-edge platform that provides:
- BLE 6.0 for efficient wireless communication
- Low power consumption, especially in deep sleep mode, extends battery life
- A brand-new GNSS module supporting GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and BeiDou
- Cell ID fallback ensuring location accuracy even in areas with poor GNSS signal
- A design that allows for future feature expansions
Conclusion
Asset5 introduces a strong new option in GPS asset and backup tracking solutions. Its combination of compact design, long battery life, and advanced features makes it an ideal solution for businesses seeking scalable and flexible asset tracking.
