Samsung has launched Connect Tag that uses
narrowband network technology (NB-IoT, Cat.M1) to track pets, children, and
personal items.
The Connect Tag is designed cellular communication
standard for small data utilization, low power consumption and the ability to
securely connect to the internet for optimal location services. It offers smart
location notifications based on a NB-IoT or Cat.M1 network. The Samsung Connect
Tag will work with GPS, Wi-Fi-based positioning (WPS) and Cell ID, so it can
receive accurate location information both indoors and outdoors for location
tracking.
The geo-fence feature on the Samsung Connect Tag
will notify the user’s chosen smart devices when they are nearby. It also
offers features to minimize anxiety and increase usability. An on-demand
function will allow requesting any Connect Tag’s location when desired, simply
by pressing a button on the smartphone.
The device is compact and comes with IP68 water and
dustproof. Battery life is claimed at up to seven days on a single charge.
Connect Tag comes with an exclusive ring that easily attaches to bags, collars
or key rings. It will be available
for purchase starting in Korea before expanding to select countries in the
coming months.
