TM-901 / N1C2

BLE LoRa Compact
TM-901 / N1C2 device

Designed for personal tracking, tracing applications, and for tracking and tracing a variety of non-powered movable objects with an extreme battery lifespan of up to 15 years.

With the TM-901 you will not only know where the person carrying the device is, but you will have information about their exact actual and historical status as well. You will be alerted if something strange happens.

The TM-901 combines different technologies for traceability (e.g. GPS, LoRa, Bluetooth LE and proprietary RF). Traditional national telecom costs are avoided because of the absence of GPRS/SMS. The range of the LoRa technology is up to 60 km at just 25mW.

The device is also available as a ‘basic version’ device without GPS, resulting in a very low-cost, long-range RF-tracker (LoRa/BLE/RF). It has a battery lifespan of up to 15 years.

Multiple on-board sensors (temperature, acceleration and optional: humidity, baro-/altimeter, compass/3D magnetometer and distance sensor) as well as buzzer, LEDs, I/O-functionality, push button and solar-power option enable the integration of TraceME into a variety of custom specific (M2M) applications, IoT and smart wearable electronics.

Compared to the N1C1, this device has been upgraded with optional baro-/altimeter, compass/magnetometer and distance sensor. These features enable a sophisticated tracking and tracing solution and offers multiple OEM integration possibilities.

Also, the device is equipped with an internal antenna for LoRa transmission, while still offers an extreme long communication range. Successful field tests of more than 60 km line of sight with just 25 mW have been achieved.

Can the TM-901 / N1C2 operate in industrial or extreme temperature environments?
Yes, the device provides highly robust temperature tolerance. It is fully rated to support a wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C, ensuring high stability in critical outdoor conditions.
What power input voltage does the TM-901 / N1C2 require?
The unit is designed with an autonomous and highly flexible power circuit. It comfortably operates on a power input ranging approximately 5VDC. Additionally, it combines ultra-low active power peaks with deep-sleep states for prolonged lifespan.
What is the total weight of the device?
Thanks to the strict miniaturization of internal componentry, the TM-901 / N1C2 retains a highly competitive 'weight: 3 g'. It makes it ideal for lightweight tracking and tracing solutions like aerial tags or smart wearables.
What are the major tracking systems and connectivity embedded in this TraceME device?
The TM-901 / N1C2 is highly versatile, bringing cutting-edge tracking technology onto a single PCB. Leading systems natively provided include LoRa®, BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), and 53x15x7.5 mm; Weight: 3 grams. Ensure you review the 'Optional Add-ons' tab for further sensor extensions.
Is it possible to customize the TM-901 / N1C2 firmware for our OEM needs?
Absolutely. All KCS TraceME hardware can be customized on a granular level. From custom outer casing designs and I/O pin event programming, to tailor-made intelligent firmware behavior.
How does the TM-901 / N1C2 handle active data privacy and security?
TraceME hardware interfaces directly with secure infrastructure without third-party bottlenecks. It natively supports advanced device-side encryption protocols enabling highly private, fully sealed data routing.
Are firmware updates supported over-the-air (FOTA)?
Yes, practically all modern TraceME units are designed with two-way communication supporting crucial FOTA (Firmware Over The Air). This means device behavior and security protocols can be seamlessly updated in the field without retrieval.
