FreightWatch Security Net (FSN) has said that it’ll introduce its next generation, portable, battery-powered assisted-GPS tracker at an upcoming trade event in San Diego.

The company said that it’ll be exhibiting Geo F3 Multi-Function Covert Tracker. Designed and manufactured by FSN, it’s a value-priced, commercial class, location tracking and sensor monitoring device.

The Geo F2 Pill Bottle assisted-GPS tracker, the preceding technology, is incorporated by Geo F3 using the Qualcomm (News - Alert) QSC6055 module technology. Plus, it comes with additional features of a built-in battery and antenna, on-board sensors to monitor temperature and light intensity plus an integrated vehicle power adapter.  

“The Geo F3 combines the best of our covert GPS tracking technology and functionality in a single package at an industry-leading price,” said Bill Games, president at FSN, adding that the F3 form factor is compact and fits in the smallest FSN tracking case which allows the F3 to operate in impaired environments where most GPS trackers do not.

Moreover, adding an optional FSN external battery allows the tracker to report for extended periods of time-up to a year in the field, Games said.

The Geo F3 is the newest product in the FreightWatch line of covert trackers featuring location accuracy and reliable reporting based on Qualcomm gpsOne assisted location-position technology.

FSN offers a family of portable devices that work in impaired settings, Games said. “Combined with our private labeled 'track and trace' platform with built-in API, the Geo F3 is the choice of resellers, system integrators and corporate customers needing a covert tracking solution that works where standard GPS solutions do not.”

The FSN Geo F3 is available for direct customer and reseller orders.

FSN combines wireless communications and machine-to-machine (M2M) engineering expertise in its "track and trace" devices that work where traditional GPS technology does not.

Earlier this year, the company announced two sensor peripheral products for its Geo F2 “Pill Bottle” Tracker.
