Location-wise, there are two options. The GPS tracker estimates the location based on triangulation, using three masts in the area you receive a position that approximates the actual position. Want to know exactly where something is located? Then be sure to choose a GPS tracker that uses a GPS chip. Next, you look at which network the GPS tracker uses to transmit its data. There are several options here, such as 4G/NBIOT, 2G, Sigfox and LoRaWAN.

4G/NBIOT is the best possible solution in terms of coverage, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. In short, anywhere you have cellphone reception. This is also a network where you can be sure that data will be transmitted effectively. The same goes for 2G, keep in mind this network stops from 2025.

With Sigfox and LoRaWAN, you don't have that certainty. Coverage of these is limited, you may experience problems when crossing national borders and data may not be transmitted to the network. Are these then ill suited for that purpose? Not necessarily, it all depends on the application you want to use the GPS tracker for.

Finally, look at the device you wish to track with a GPS. Do you have the ability to provide the GPS tracker with a fixed power supply? Then opt for a wired version of Teltonika on 4G. Is there no fixed power supply available and are you looking for a solution that you can use flexibly between different machines? Then we recommend you choose a battery-powered version of Digital Matter.
