GeoTag
Introduction
GeoTag provides advanced GPS-enabled asset tracking for professional equipment, enabling near real-time location updates, improving asset security, and reducing operational losses.
GeoTag provides reliable coverage even in remote locations, with zero reliance on bluetooth-enabled smartphone proximity as is the case with consumer solutions such as Apple AirTag.
System Overview
The standard GeoTag tracker comprises a self-contained, reduced form-factor tracker module, reliably capturing and serving location data. The tracker includes:
- GSM & GPRS modules for data transmission
- Global SIM for automatic network acquisition in over 170 countries
- GPS & AGPS module for precise location and time capture
- Location fallbacks:
- WiFi-proximity location capture
- LBS Cell Tower triangulation location capture
When in areas with no GSM coverage GeoTag continues to capture location data, transmitting data points when coverage next resumes.

Customised GeoTag trackers can be scoped on request to suit a wide variety of use cases, not limited to:
- Higher capacity battery, extending runtime to e.g. 30, 60, 120 days - Alternative connector types
- External antennae, allowing placement within metal housing
Please contact TAZAAR to discuss your custom requirements.Integration Requirements
Circuitry Integration: The GeoTag tracker is designed to be integrated into a host product’s circuitry with minimal interference with existing systems. Separate step-down conversion is required for safe integration into products operating at higher voltages, e.g. 12V.
Positioning: The GPS antenna is located in the flat side of the tracker adjacent to the indicator LEDs and SIM access. For optimal readings this side should face toward the sky and ideally separated from metal surfaces.
Configuration: All GeoTag trackers are fully pre-configured prior to delivery and will work immediately on first charge.
By the time your GeoTag arrives, you should receive sign in details for the GeoTag web platform to access location readings and other useful tools.LED Indicators
The GeoTag tracker comes with 3x colour LEDs for indicating its status:
