The full descriptionFor the readers

CT-A05 is a 4G GPS asset tracker with a built-in single-use battery, no wiring and nothing to charge. Screw it to a trailer, a boat, a shipping container, a generator or a piece of plant and leave it there.

It ships reporting its location once a day, and at one report a day the battery lasts up to 7 years. The reporting interval is set on the platform: it can report on a schedule, at set intervals or when the asset moves. It sleeps when parked, so the battery goes a long way.

The case is sealed to IP68, dust-tight and waterproof, and the tracker works from –20 °C to 60 °C. GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou work together for positions accurate to under 1.8 m, and a built-in motion sensor detects when the asset moves. It measures 156 × 70 × 25.2 mm and mounts flat with two screws (not included).

Choose CT-A05 for the longest life: its single-use battery holds nearly three times the energy of the rechargeable CT-A06. If you’d rather recharge it between jobs, choose CT-A06.

Every Crucial Tracking data plan ships with a SIM that works across both the Telstra and Optus mobile networks.
