Asset tracking

Track and Manage Assets Anywhere with OV Connectivity.

Global coverage, low power consumption, and complete visibility for asset tracking solutions with geofencing, IMEI Lock, and extended battery life support.

Assets move across borders and environments. Visibility can be lost in remote regions. OV’s IoT SIM and eSIM solutions give you global reach, reliable coverage, and lifecycle control through OV ONE. With support for NB-IoT and LTE-M technologies, our connectivity is optimised for battery-powered trackers requiring 10+ year deployments.

The problem

Asset Tracking Shouldn’t End at the Border.

You need consistent connectivity for devices that travel. Traditional roaming agreements create blind spots and billing surprises. OV delivers a single, predictable global network that scales with your deployment.

Battery depletion is the leading cause of premature failure for asset trackers designed to last 5-10 years. Traditional cellular connectivity drains batteries quickly, requiring frequent maintenance or replacement. Additionally, assets moving across regions face network coverage gaps, creating blind spots where valuable cargo or equipment disappears from tracking systems.

The OV solution

Optimised for Long-Life Tracking

OV’s IoT SIM and eSIM technology are built for low-power, high-efficiency devices. Our global coverage and redundant routing keep sensors and assets connected continuously, even in remote or challenging locations.

Security

Prevent Theft and Unauthorised Access.

Asset trackers protect high-value goods, equipment, and cargo. OV ONE provides security features specifically designed to prevent tracker theft, tampering, and unauthorised access to asset location data.

Anti-Theft Capabilities:

Immediate geofence breach notifications via email, SMS, or webhook
Historical location data (31 days) for theft investigation and recovery
Remote tracker interrogation to determine current status and location
Automatic alerts if tracker SIM is removed from device (IMEI mismatch detection

Security Features for Asset Tracking:

Geofencing: Create virtual boundaries with instant alerts when assets move outside defined areas
IMEI Lock: Bind SIM to specific tracker hardware, preventing stolen trackers from being activated elsewhere
IoT SAFE: GSMA-standard Root of Trust ensuring secure asset-to-cloud communication
Private APN: Isolated network traffic preventing unauthorised access to asset location data
Data Traffic Filtering: Lock trackers to approved asset management platform endpoints only
SMS Filtering: Control which systems can send location requests to trackers
Instant Deactivation: Remotely disable stolen tracker SIMs via OV ONE portal or API
Real-Time Alerts: Custom notifications for suspicious tracker behaviour or movement patterns

Configurable transmission schedules via API (hourly, daily, on-demand)
Smart data optimisation reducing payload sizes

Network Resilience:

Multi-IMSI with automatic network switching
Reliable global roaming across 600+ networks
Non-steered SIM technology without restrictive PLMN lists
Redundant network routing for uninterrupted connectivity
Support for 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, NB-IoT, and LTE-M across different regions

Platform Control:

Full control through OV ONE API for automated fleet management
Real-time device diagnostics showing connection status and data consumption
Bulk tracker provisioning (up to 1,000 devices at once)
Custom alerting for battery level, location changes, and connectivity issues
31 days of historical data for usage analysis and forecasting

Asset Tracking Integrations:

AWS IoT for cloud-native asset management platforms
HTTP webhooks for real-time geofence and movement alerts
RabbitMQ message queues for high-volume tracker data
Integration with major asset management systems via RESTful API
