A Game-Changer: Traxmate's Onomondo IoT SIM Tracking
Traxmate provides an innovative, platform-independent tracking solution that delivers accurate, real-time location services using only cellular SIM data. There is no need for additional firmware or a mobile app; insert the SIM card, enable the service, and start tracking.
The Traxmate solution enables Onomondo to offer advanced positioning services as a seamless extension of their existing IoT connectivity offerings.
How It Works
Traxmate’s SIM-based tracking technology utilizes Cell ID data obtained directly from mobile networks. When a SIM-enabled device connects to a cell tower, the network identifies the specific tower with which it is communicating. Traxmate can then calculate the device’s location in real time through integration with the Combain Cell ID service.
The location data is transmitted from the mobile network or IoT platform to Traxmate’s cloud service, where it is visualized and processed. Since no GPS module is necessary, this approach results in lower costs, extended battery life, and superb compatibility with various devices.
The Onomondo IoT SIM tracking platform supports both live and historical tracking, enabling users to monitor device movements, generate reports, and set up geofences to receive alerts when devices enter or exit designated areas. The tracking interval can be selected: one position per day (default) or one position per hour. All features are accessible through a web-based dashboard and mobile app.
Why Cell ID Positioning?
While GPS is accurate, it’s also energy-intensive, expensive to integrate, and unreliable indoors or in dense urban environments. Cell ID positioning offers a compelling alternative in many use cases:
~90% lower power consumption than GPS
Better indoor reach, thanks to cell signal penetration
No firmware updates or hardware modifications required
Immediate global scalability using existing SIM networks
This makes Onomondo IoT SIM tracking ideal for scalable, secure, and cost-effective tracking across thousands of assets or devices.
