For advanced security, users can draw a geo-fence and be alerted if the tracker ever leaves a defined area. Additional web browser functionality provides tracking of items when a smartphone is unavailable.

Also previewed will be the Tracker Now Board, an open sourced advanced IoT framework, which features an Arduino compatible programmable BLE tag with a full support library. With the addition of open-source API functionality, the technology can become a comprehensive mobile monitoring solution with cloud-based data management.

Smart BLE tags can enable numerous monitoring functionalities such as temperature, wind, humidity, heart rate, and oxygen levels. Any smart BLE tag supported by Arduino, becomes an open-source electronic prototyping platform - supported by Tracker Now. Once tags are written, they are uploaded via cell signal or Wi-Fi to Tracker Now Cloud Services, where data can be stored, analyzed and managed. Automatic alerts based on data collected are also part of the new cloud feature rollout.
