Pretrace's Asset Tracker TC88 is the ultimate solution for seamless tracking and monitoring of your valuable assets. Available in Satellite / 4G / Cat M / NB-IoT / LoRaWAN variants, this versatile tracker comes in three power versions to cater to all your tracking needs.
The non-rechargeable version TC88-N ensures long-lasting performance. For frequent tracking updates, the wireless-recharged TC88-Q is perfect. Need real-time tracking with additional functionality? The external-power version TC88-S provides three inputs/outputs for maximum flexibility.

Optional distance and level sensors track fill levels and positions of tanks, containers and silos, even in harsh outdoor yards.

With PT100 temperature sensing and IP68 waterproofing, the TC88 tracks refrigerated transport, gas tanks and medical cold-chain assets.

Long-life TC88-N versions track industrial equipment, cable drums and high-value assets for years without maintenance.
3.6V 17000 mAh battery, up to 15 years lifetime at 1 report/day — ideal for long-life asset tracking.
Recharged by a 5V 500mA QI wireless charger, 3.7V 6000 mAh — for frequent tracking updates.
Powered by 11.5-36V / 1A DC with digital input, analog input and RS485 interfaces.
