Reliable asset tracking with Asset5

Asset5 is a compact Ruptela GPS tracker built for long-term, low-maintenance use. Powered by replaceable 2×AA LiSOCl₂ batteries, it operates autonomously for up to three years with 2 locations report per day. It combines GNSS and Cell-ID fallback and 4G + 2G connectivity for reliable positioning and data transfer. The IP68 housing is fully waterproof. Onboard BLE 6.0, a programmable action button, and tamper alerts enable wireless setup and security notifications. Ideal for backup tracking and autonomous location monitoring of rental and leased cars, containers, trailers, machinery, and other high-value assets.
