Xsense RTL 2G Datalogger for Real-Time Monitoring

Product Information

Introduction
The Xsense® 2G & Cat-M1(4G/5G) datalogger is a compact device for real-time monitoring built for today’s world. It was designed from the ground up to use a non-lithium battery, and it supports easy battery replacement by the user, as per EU standards, for extended use or reuse. Temperature, relative humidity, light, shock/acceleration, and barometric pressure sensors are currently offered, with many additional sensors and extensions planned for the future.

Some novel features are

• Ability to manually force test cellular connectivity
• Optional BLE access for reconfiguring device or offloading readings
• Optional USB-C power port for powering unit for extended use or as an emergency power source

It is simple to use. Register your device in Xsense®. Turn it on. And place it wherever you want (within range of a cellular signal) to get live measures of environmental and location information.
It comes with a cellular SIM card pre-installed.
The datalogger comes with access to Xsense® Cloud which includes such features as:

• Route tracing and trip segmentation
• Smart data access security
• Automatic alerts
• Quality metrics
• Automatic notifications at destination and waypoints
• In-app messaging and alerts (Android and iOS)
• Arrival time estimations Post-analysis reports

Stay informed anywhere, anytime.

Applications

• One-way shipments
• Round-Trip shipments
• Last mile
• Fixed location monitoring
• Asset tracking
