Fleet and Asset Tracking Devices
Asset trackers ship to fleets with no guarantee of controlled installation conditions. GNSS TTFF, battery duty-cycle life, and eSIM provisioning must all be validated on the production line. Waterproofing under field drop conditions is a mechanical design question that assembly has to implement consistently.
Buyer pains we hear most
- GNSS TTFF validation requires a golden-unit reference methodology and outdoor or RF-isolated test setup
- Battery life duty-cycle claims must be validated under realistic firmware behavior, not just bench current draw
- eSIM provisioning on the production line requires integration with the operator activation platform
- Waterproofing failures under field drop conditions trace to inconsistent enclosure sealing in assembly
Typical product traits
- Multi-constellation GNSS with A-GNSS support for fast first fix
- LTE-M, NB-IoT, or 2G fallback modem with eSIM
- 3-axis accelerometer for motion wakeup and shock detection
- Sealed enclosure with magnetic or mechanical mounting options
Regulatory environment
EU Radio Equipment Directive
2014/53/EU (RED)
GNSS receiver standard
ETSI EN 303 413
LTE radio performance
ETSI EN 301 908 series
Cyber Resilience Act
Regulation (EU) 2024/2847 (CRA)
Test plan considerations
- Per-unit GNSS acquisition and position fix test against golden-unit threshold
- Cellular registration and data session test per unit before sealing
- eSIM profile download and activation verification on the line
- Enclosure drop and IP sealing sample test per batch
Frequently asked questions
How do you handle embedded software and secure provisioning?
We support X.509 certificate enrollment, secure-element key injection (ATECC608, NXP EdgeLock), eFuse and OTP programming, and provisioning to AWS IoT Core, Azure DPS, and custom PKI. Private keys can be HSM-generated and never exposed to host systems.
How do you support Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) readiness for connected devices?
Production-side CRA support includes signed firmware enforcement, per-unit serialization for SBOM tracking, secure provisioning workflows, and documented test records. Product-side CRA obligations (vulnerability handling, security updates) remain with the OEM.
What lead times can we expect?
New product introduction takes about 4 to 8 weeks depending on component availability and test fixture readiness. Repeat batches typically run on a 3 to 5 week cadence once tooling and test plan are in place.
