Sequans Communications and Polymer Logistics announced that the Polymer Logistics Smart IoT Tracker is now approved for use on the LTE-M network of Verizon Wireless and is pending approval by other operators.

The device, which will be on display at CES 2019, is tailored specifically to fit onto Polymer Logistics’ CleanPal pallets, but it can be used as a standalone tracking device for other IoT applications.

In addition to the LTE-M connectivity provided by Sequans’ Monarch platform, the device includes a temperature sensor, an accelerometer and network-based geolocation.

The Smart IoT Tracker fits between the standard slats of a pallet without any overhang so that forklifts can’t damage it, according to a press release. It uses standard AA batteries and comes in an IP66 enclosure that makes it safe from extreme weather conditions, powerful seas or jets of water. And it doesn’t have to be removed from pallets prior to washing.
