Digital Matter has announced the launch of the Manta Fusion, an advancement to their battery-powered solutions.
The Manta Fusion is engineered to deliver reliable and accurate location updates with a remarkable battery life of over 10 years through movement-based tracking.
The Manta Fusion features both a true GNSS module and a Wi-Fi scanning module, ensuring precise outdoor tracking and accurate positioning indoors. Additionally, the device features cell tower location fallback, allowing for continuous tracking even when other positioning methods are unavailable. With an integrated Bluetooth Gateway, the Manta Fusion serves as a hub for numerous BLE tags and sensors, enhancing its functionality for diverse applications.
“We’re excited to deliver a solution that offers superior outdoor location accuracy while maintaining the same exceptional indoor performance as our highly regarded Edge device range,” said Ken Everett, the CEO of Digital Matter.
Designed with a low-profile form factor, the Manta Fusion allows for discreet installation, while its rugged IP68 housing, constructed from durable nylon glass material, ensures exceptional protection against environmental challenges. The battery holder is now integrated into the housing, providing improved heat resistance and a lower cost, while the new design allows for easy activation and tamper detection using a magnet.
Key features of the Manta Fusion enabling the next development in the tracking solutions include:
- Multi-mechanism location determination: The device utilises a combination of true GNSS, Wi-Fi scanning, and cell tower positioning to achieve excellent outdoor and indoor accuracy.
- Ultra efficient low-power technology: Featuring a low-power Sony GNSS chip similar to that used in smartwatches, the Manta Fusion optimises battery life without compromising performance.
- Flexible Monitoring Capabilities: Users can prioritise location technology based on their specific use cases, ensuring the most effective tracking method is utilised.
Additionally, the upcoming Cat 1bis version of the Manta Fusion will offer global roaming capabilities with low power consumption and satellite fallback options. A further innovation, Energy Saving Protocol (ESP) will provide significant battery life improvements with on-demand location and recovery mode features, further enhancing the device’s utility.
The Manta Fusion represents a development in tracking technology available on the market, ideal for businesses that prioritise location accuracy, without having to compromise on performance or longevity.
