Griffin Air Tracker — Airline-Certified GPS Asset Tracking Device
The Griffin Air is a long-life, ultra-rugged GPS asset tracker built for global logistics, supply chain management, and air cargo operations. Equipped with airline-certified automatic flight detection, the Griffin Air disables cellular transmissions while airborne, continues logging location and sensor data throughout the flight, and resumes normal tracking the moment it’s back on the ground.
With 4G Cat 1bis global connectivity, intelligent power management, and advanced indoor/outdoor location technology, this fleet tracking device delivers reliable asset visibility across road, rail, sea, and air — all from a single deploy-once solution with 2+ years of battery life.
Key Features
Certified for Air Cargo
Airline-certified smart sensing automatically detects flight conditions and disables cellular transmissions. Location and sensor data continue to log throughout the flight and upload once the asset is back on the ground.
Global 4G Connectivity
Connect virtually anywhere in the world via 4G Cat 1bis with 2G fallback. Designed for cross-border logistics and international freight tracking without SIM swaps or network gaps.
Deploy-Once Battery Life
2+ years on 3 x AA user-replaceable batteries. Built-in ‘battery low’ and ‘battery critical’ alerts ensure you’re never caught off guard. No wiring, no charging — deploy it and forget it.
Indoor & Outdoor Location
Multi-constellation GNSS for outdoor precision, plus Wi-Fi AP MAC address scanning and cell tower location for indoor asset tracking. Cloud-based location solving reduces power consumption without sacrificing accuracy.
Adaptive Tracking
The Griffin Air tracks assets when they move and enters sleep mode when stationary — conserving battery without losing visibility. Configurable update rates let you balance reporting frequency against battery life.
Bluetooth® 5.2 Gateway
Report on nearby Bluetooth tags and sensors to enable wireless condition monitoring, tagged asset management, temperature logging, and more.
Ultra-Rugged IP67 Housing
Waterproof, dustproof, and built to survive harsh operating environments. Mount with screws, bolts, cable ties, magnets, or industrial adhesive.
Impact, Tip & Rotation Detection
Onboard accelerometer detects impacts, tipping events, and rotational movement — critical for fragile or orientation-sensitive cargo.
Geofencing & Location Alerts
Set virtual boundaries and receive instant alerts when assets enter or leave defined zones. Ideal for yard management, route compliance, and theft prevention.
Run Hour Monitoring & Asset Utilisation
Track how long assets are in use versus idle. Optimise fleet utilisation, schedule maintenance based on actual usage, and reduce unnecessary capital expenditure.
