Introducing Asset5: Ruptela’s next-generation GPS asset tracker

Ruptela is proud to present Asset5, a groundbreaking addition to our portfolio that marks our entry into the GPS asset tracking market. Designed for durability, autonomy, and versatility, Asset5 opens new horizons for our partners across various industries looking for reliable asset tracking solutions. 

Expanding possibilities with Asset5

Asset5 is more than just an asset tracking device, it’s a gateway to new applications and industries. One notable use case is backup tracking, where Asset5 serves as a secondary tracker in vehicles. If the primary tracker fails or is tampered with, Asset5 seamlessly takes over, ensuring continuous location data transmission. This feature is invaluable for: 

  • Insurance industry applications;
  • High-value cargo transport;
  • Rental fleet management.

How Asset5 sets a new standard in Ruptela’s product line 

Asset5 introduces several features that set it apart from our existing lineup:

1. Effortless installation 

Asset5 is designed for simple and secure mounting using optional magnetic holders. These magnets are strong enough to ensure the device stays firmly in place, even in mobile or rugged environments, without requiring any drilling or permanent modifications. 

This provides quick deployment and flexibility across different asset types – perfect for modern fleet and asset tracking needs. 

2. Battery-powered autonomy

Unlike our other devices that rely on external power sources, Asset5 operates entirely on internal, replaceable 2×AA lithium thionyl chloride batteries. This setup ensures: 

  • Up to 3 years of operation with original set of batteries when sending 2 location messages per day (actual performance may vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns).  
  • No need for external power connections, simplifying deployment in remote or mobile environments. 

With minimal maintenance needs and consistent performance, Asset5 offers a cost-effective and reliable GPS asset tracking device for long-term operations. 

3. Tamper detection 

Asset5 features a tamper button that detects unauthorized housing openings. This provides additional security, triggering alerts in case of tampering and ensuring sensitive assets and inventory tracking is always under control.

Asset5 compared to other GPS asset trackers

When compared to other asset trackers devices, Asset5 stands out with its compact design and advanced features: 

1. Compact size

Measuring just 70 × 56× 28 mm, Asset5 is one of the most compact 4G+2G GPS asset tracking hardware available, facilitating easy installation even in tight spaces. This makes it a top choice among small asset tracking devices.

2. Configurable action button 

The built-in button can be customized to trigger specific alerts, switch the tracker from storage mode to operating mode, or trigger BLE advertisement and accessibility via mDMP app, allowing for tailored responses to various scenarios. 

3. User-friendly battery replacement 

Replacing Asset5’s batteries is easy: 

  1. Open the device housing. 
  2. Remove the old batteries, noting their orientation. 
  3. Insert new batteries, matching the positive and negative ends appropriately. 
  4. Close the housing securely. 

This process is intuitive and convenient, reducing downtime during battery changes and minimizing ongoing maintenance requirements – ideal for smooth, uninterrupted inventory and asset tracking routines. 

4. Wireless configuration via BLE app

Asset5 can be configured without any cables using Ruptela’s upcoming mDMP app, available for mobile devices. This feature streamlines setup and adjustments, enabling a fast and smooth experience in managing asset tracking systems. 

5. Advanced technology platform 

Asset5 is built on a new cutting-edge platform that provides: 

  • BLE 6.0 for efficient wireless communication. 
  • Low power consumption, especially in deep sleep mode, extends battery life. 
  • A brand-new GNSS module supporting GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and BeiDou. 
  • Cell ID fallback ensuring location accuracy even in areas with poor GNSS signal 
  • A design that allows for future feature expansions, ensuring the device remains up to date with evolving asset tracking and management needs. 

Conclusion

Asset5 introduces a strong new option in GPS asset and back-up tracking solutions. Its combination of compact design, long battery life, and advanced features makes it an ideal solution for businesses looking for scalable and flexible asset tracking.
