The GLOBAL-Y GPS provides all of the features of the popular GLOBAL-O2 and R2 in a tiny form-factor. The small size is perfect for mounting to small assets or in a concealed location. Available in 2G or 4G Cat-M1/Nb-IoT.

The 4G Modem allows for very-low power operation, and a compact size. Even with the small AAA batteries, up to 3 years' battery life is achievable!

Tiny Form Factor
The GLOBAL-Y measures just 85 x 63 x 24 mm! Enclosed in the housing is the GPS and Cellular antennas plus the 3 x AAA battery holder.

The tiny size means it can be attached to any number of assets such as:

• Pallets, beer kegs, bikes, animals, livestock and parcels.
• Conceal it in trailer lights, hide it in bags, the possibilities are endless!

4G Cat-M1/NB-IoT Modem
The GLOBAL-Ys 4G modem is compatible with both Cat-M1 and Nb-IoT networks - enabling great new benefits. Traditional cellular network specifications (like 4G LTE Cat 9/12) are designed to provide high speeds and bandwith - to enable smartphone users to stream videos and facilitate other data-intensive activities.

IoT devices don't need this type of bandwidth and are typically trying to solve other problems. These IoT devices require:

• Small data messages typically at low data rates
• Long Range
• Low power to allow for long battery life
• Low cost - to facilitate the deployment of many millions of them

The LTE Cat-M1 and NB1 specifications allow the cellular modem (uBlox SARA R4) to be simpler and smaller, and in turn the GLOBAL-Y. In our testing we have measured that our new Cat-M1 devices use anywhere from 1/2 to 1/3 of the power of our 3G devices to perform a data upload. This allows the GLOBAL-Y to still have excellent battery life (up to 3 years) on just 3 AAA batteries!

Encryption
The GLOBAL-Y uses bank-level AES-256 device authentication and data encryption to ensure that your data is kept private and secure.
