When it comes to asset tracking in the UK, businesses face unique challenges—from unpredictable weather to dense urban environments and vast rural areas. Whether you're safeguarding high-value tools, monitoring cold chain deliveries, or managing fleets across industrial sites, having a reliable, flexible, and affordable IoT tracking solution is critical. That’s where Trackpac stands out.
Why Asset Tracking in the UK Needs a Different Approach
The UK's diverse landscape—ranging from remote countryside to city centres—creates a complex environment for traditional GPS and cellular-based tracking systems. LTE connectivity can be patchy in rural areas and expensive when scaling. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth solutions often fall short when assets are on the move or between zones. What's needed is a tracking platform built to handle these challenges without compromise.
The Problems with Traditional Tracking Solutions
Many UK businesses struggle with existing tracking technologies:
- GPS-only trackers: Drain batteries quickly and fail indoors
- LTE/4G solutions: Expensive monthly fees per device and poor rural coverage
- Bluetooth trackers: Limited range and require constant proximity
- Wi-Fi dependent systems: Useless outside network coverage areas
These limitations cost UK businesses thousands in lost assets, delayed shipments, and operational inefficiencies.
Why Outdoor Asset Tracking Matters in the UK
From Scotland's remote highlands to London's bustling construction sites, outdoor asset tracking is critical for UK industries. Whether you're monitoring vehicles, equipment, or shipments across the country, you need a reliable tracking solution that works in diverse environments—from urban centres to remote rural areas.
The UK's unpredictable weather, varied terrain, and mix of urban and rural environments make it one of the most challenging regions for consistent asset tracking. Traditional solutions often fail when you need them most.

1. LoRaWAN Coverage Strategy for the UK
Trackpac leverages LoRaWAN technology on the Helium network, which is rapidly expanding across the UK. While LoRaWAN coverage is still developing in some areas, it offers significant advantages in locations where it's available, particularly for long-range, low-power tracking applications.
Important: We recommend checking coverage in your specific area before deployment. For comprehensive coverage, our trackers also include GPS and cellular fallback options to ensure reliable tracking regardless of local LoRaWAN availability.
- ✅ Better than GPS-only trackers – LoRaWAN reduces energy consumption while maintaining accurate tracking where available
- ✅ No SIM cards required – Avoid expensive monthly subscription fees in LoRaWAN coverage areas
- ✅ Multi-technology approach – GPS, cellular, and LoRaWAN work together for optimal coverage
2. Ultra-Long Battery Life
One of the biggest challenges in asset tracking is battery life. LTE and GPS-based trackers often last only weeks, requiring frequent recharging or expensive battery replacements that can cost more than the tracker itself.
🚀 Trackpac's LoRaWAN trackers last months—even years—on a single charge.
- ✅ Minimal maintenance – Less downtime, lower operational costs
- ✅ Ideal for remote assets – No need for frequent site visits
- ✅ Perfect for cold-chain monitoring, logistics, and agriculture
3. Built for British Weather & Conditions
UK environments are unpredictable—from Scottish winters to Welsh rain to London heat. Trackpac sensors are designed to withstand harsh British conditions.
- ✅ IP67-rated waterproof design – Built for heavy rain and outdoor use
- ✅ Shock-resistant construction – Perfect for building sites and industrial applications
- ✅ Temperature & humidity monitoring – Protect sensitive assets from environmental damage
