Global technology provider Myriota has launched AssetHawk, which is a rugged, long-life asset tracker engineered to deliver global visibility beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks.
Powered by Myriota’s HyperPulse connectivity, AssetHawk supports scalable tracking of trailers, containers, pallets, vehicles and unpowered assets across vast geographies. The technology allows operators to verify delivery milestones, reduce asset loss, improve utilisation, lower operating costs and improve margins as fleets and deployments scale.
CEO Ben Cade says most tracking projects fail at scale, when battery swaps, coverage gaps and complex integrations erode the business case.
“AssetHawk is designed to flip that equation,” Cade says.
“By delivering global coverage, predictable multi-year life and straightforward integration in a single device, we’re giving solution providers and system integrators a way to scale tracking profitably, even for assets that were previously too remote or low-value to justify a tracker.”
AssetHawk is a ready-to-use device that installs in minutes and integrates seamlessly with third-party visualisation and analytics platforms. An IP68-rated enclosure ensures reliable operation in harsh conditions, surviving submersion, dust, impact and extreme temperatures commonly encountered in mining, agriculture and heavy industry.
For long-term deployments, AssetHawk is engineered to minimise operational overheads. Low-power hardware delivers a battery life of up to 10 years on two AA batteries, while intelligent firmware automatically increases location update frequency when movement is detected.
The tracker will soon be available with optional bluetooth low energy capabilities, enabling the capture of valuable condition data from bluetooth sensors. This includes temperature, vibration and other environmental metrics.
AssetHawk is available in key global markets including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and the US.
Myritoa is an internet-of-things (IoT) connectivity provider that has built an expanding satellite constellation and secured a 170 patent portfolio. The company enables system integrators, solution providers, and original engineering manufacturers to develop and deploy connected products that sense, track, and monitor assets in remote environments.
