• Bloodhound Tracking Device (BTD) has launched Tracker 1, a rugged, next-gen tracking platform designed specifically for global intermodal containers.
• Purpose-built to overcome connectivity gaps and short battery life, it combines LTE, Iridium® satellite, and IoT Mesh for uninterrupted global coverage, tamper alerts, and real-time cargo visibility.

Bloodhound Tracking Device (BTD) announced the launch of Tracker 1, a covert, next-generation security and tracking platform engineered specifically for global intermodal containers. Unlike adapted consumer-grade devices, Tracker 1 is purpose-built to eliminate the connectivity gaps and short battery life common in legacy systems.

“Tracker 1 was architected for the container, not just adapted for it,” said Chief Technology Officer, Jason Soloff. “We’ve engineered a platform that prioritises redundancy and survivability to ensure total cargo visibility in the most demanding environments.”

Advanced Engineering & Global Connectivity

The Tracker 1 platform integrates high-performance hardware with a multi-layered communications stack:

• Discrete, Rugged Design: A patented, colour-matched enclosure, efficient installation without drilling, wiring, or external antennas, and long, usable battery life, all self-contained.

• Global Coverage: Combines LTE (with fallback), Iridium® satellite communications and a Proprietary IoT Mesh network to ensure continuous reporting.

• Integrated Intelligence Enabled: Features such as high-resolution accelerometers for impact detection, user level programmable geofencing, and a physical tamper switch.

The BTD Tracker 1 is available immediately for ocean carriers, leasing companies, and logistics providers worldwide, with flexible leasing or purchase options.
