But how do you know which one is right for you? Below, we\u2019ll go over 4G LTE asset trackers and satellite asset trackers. We\u2019ll explain the specs of each and offer you some options for both of them, based on what you need from an asset tracker.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>4G LTE-Based Asset Trackers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>4G LTE-based asset trackers utilize 4G LTE networks to monitor the real-time location and status of an asset. 4G cellular networks offer broad coverage, fast data transmission, and reliability, making these asset trackers a great option for mobile assets.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1WQaHLAbfxrXhO1w_X-LnUWEwhdLzA7qqnCb4Lwgchus\/edit#2)%20%20Choosing%20Between%204GTTE%20Asset%20Trackers%20and%20Satellite%20Asset%20Trackers\">Battery asset tracker<\/a>: Battery asset trackers are perfect for mobile assets like pallets, bins, containers, and machinery. It\u2019s often reserved for assets that can\u2019t provide the asset tracker with a charge, therefore, a battery is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1WQaHLAbfxrXhO1w_X-LnUWEwhdLzA7qqnCb4Lwgchus\/edit#2)%20%20Choosing%20Between%204GTTE%20Asset%20Trackers%20and%20Satellite%20Asset%20Trackers\">The Battery-Powered 4G LTE GPS Asset Tracker<\/a> uses both GPS and 4G networks to provide high accuracy and fast data transmission.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Asset tracker for powered equipment:<\/u> If<\/strong> you need to track powered equipment and could benefit from recording fuel usage, engine hours and status, runtime, downtime, and location, then an asset tracker for powered equipment is a great option. These asset trackers can provide you with all kinds of data about the use and location of your equipment to help you optimize operational efficiency and reduce downtime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Satellite-Based Asset Trackers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Satellite-based asset trackers are your best option if you need to track assets across long distances and in remote areas that receive little to no cell coverage. They also offer a wide range of reporting capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Satellite-based asset trackers are common in maritime, aviation, logistics, and oil and gas industries. They provide global coverage, reliable connectivity, extended battery life, and are designed to be resilient.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/iridium+solar+asset+tracker.html\"><strong>Iridium Satellite Solar Powered Asset Tracker<\/strong><\/a><strong>: <\/strong>This asset tracker uses the Iridium satellite network and is a favorite tracking solution for monitoring assets around the world and in remote locations. This asset tracker requires no battery charge maintenance, with a battery life of 7-10 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/smartone+solar+asset+tracker.html\"><strong>SmartOne Solar Asset Tracker<\/strong><\/a><strong>: <\/strong>This asset tracker uses the Globalstar Satellite network to track fixed and mobile assets globally. The SmartOne Solar uses NiMH rechargeable batteries that have a battery life of up to 10 years, ensuring limited battery maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Takeaway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Whether you choose a 4G LTE or a satellite asset tracker depends on what you\u2019re tracking and where. If you\u2019re tracking assets located in cities or across the United States, a 4G LTE tracker may be enough. However, if you\u2019re tracking assets in the ocean or across the globe, a satellite asset tracker is preferable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asset trackers are a simple but effective solution that helps countless companies manage inventory, mobile assets, and equipment on a daily basis.
