Mobilogix MT4201 Powered Tracker

Theory of operation:

This is an asset tracker equipped with LTE CAT-M1/NB2, GNSS, Accelerometer, and BLE capabilities.

The device will remain in a sleep mode while in a stationary position. The device can wake up from either of the following scenarios.

In scenario 1 , the device will wake up and go into a “Stolen Mode”, meaning the device has been moved without authorized consent from the home server. In this mode the tracker will begin broadcasting location and sensor information to home server, so the correct actions can be taken to retrieve the stolen device.

In scenario 2 , the device obtains authorized consent to be moved and goes into a “Trip” mode. In this mode the device logs and broadcasts sensor and location information so the users trip can later be analyzed. After the user has deactivated the tracker Via the LTE CAT-M1/NB2 network or BLE, the device will go back into a sleep mode to conserve power.

The device will draw, majority of its power from the trackers host asset, this is a much larger supply. However, there will be a smaller onboard Li-Po battery attached to the tracker, just in case the host’s supply runs out. There is no physical on/off switch on this device. Once it is connected to a supply it will begin to run, unless, a BLE or cellular command gives the tracker a shutdown command.
