Product Description

With the TM-901 you will not only know where the person carrying the module 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 module is also available as a basic version module 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 module 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 module 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the TM-901 / N1C2 operate in industrial or extreme temperature environments?

Yes, the device provides robust temperature tolerance. It is fully rated to support a wide operating temperature range of -30 to +85 Celsius, ensuring high stability in critical outdoor conditions.

What is the total weight of the device?

The TM-901 / N1C2 weighs 3 grams without battery. This makes the module ideal for tracking and tracing small assets.

What is the usecase of this device?

The TM-901 / N1C2 is a versatile tracking device designed for a broad spectrum of use cases. It excels in long-term object protection, offering over 15 years of standby time on a single lithium AA-battery. Furthermore, the module is perfectly suited for logistics, M2M communication, animal tracking, and general asset monitoring. It also provides robust solutions for security, anti-theft, remote diagnostics, smart city infrastructure, and agricultural or environmental monitoring.

What are the connectivity options embedded in this TraceME device?

The TM-901 / N1C2 has LoRa® and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).

Is it possible to customize the TM-901 / N1C2 firmware for our OEM needs?

All KCS TraceME hardware can be customized. From custom casing designs and I/O pin event programming, to tailor-made intelligent firmware behavior and extra sensors.

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 private, fully sealed data routing.

Are firmware updates supported over-the-air (FOTA)?

Yes, TraceME units are designed with two-way communication supporting FOTA (Firmware Over The Air). This means device behavior and security protocols can be updated in the field.
