A 10 mm GPS tracker with 12 km range

Challenge

Fit GPS, a radio, and an MCU on a 10 mm square — breaking the chip vendors' space and ground-plane rules — with real range and multi-day battery.

Approach

Heavy RF and power-gating R&D; a short wire antenna; aggressive microampere power optimization.

Result

~12 km ground-to-ground range; location transmitted 2-3 times a minute for ~30 hours on a 60 mAh cell.

Sector

Wildlife / asset tracking (capability)

Tech Stack
