WisNode Tag | GNSS positioning, Bluetooth setup, and motion sensing with LoRaWAN® connectivity in a slim rechargeable tracker.

What is the WisNode Tag? The WisNode Tag is a compact GPS tracker for LoRaWAN designed for personal safety, asset tracking, outdoor activities, and industrial monitoring. It combines GNSS positioning, motion detection, Bluetooth configuration, and long-range LoRaWAN connectivity in a slim rechargeable device that can be carried, worn, or attached to equipment. Using the TrackIt™ mobile iOS and Android application, users can configure it over Bluetooth and deploy it as a tracking device. It can be used in location tracking, geofencing, and event monitoring. The device supports both the TrackIt ecosystem and third-party platforms such as ChirpStack and The Things Stack. It is compatible with a WisGate gateway for LoRaWAN and can be deployed as part of a complete tracking solution for personnel monitoring, asset tracking, geofencing, and SOS alert applications. Who is the WisNode Tag Designed For? The WisNode Tag is designed for those who need location visibility for personnel, equipment, and mobile assets across large operational areas. It is particularly useful when deploying private or public networks on LoRaWAN for tracking, safety monitoring, and asset management. User Type Typical Deployment Utility Companies Lone worker safety monitoring Construction Teams Equipment and personnel tracking Security Providers Patrol and guard monitoring Forestry Operations Remote field worker tracking Logistics Teams Mobile asset visibility Campus Operators Staff and equipment monitoring Municipalities Public infrastructure tracking Why You Need the WisNode Tag Monitor personnel, equipment, and field assets across large sites without manual check-ins. The WisNode Tag helps improve visibility for remote worker tracking, asset monitoring, and safety-focused operations. Why it’s useful: Location Visibility: Know where people and assets are across wide coverage areas Faster Response: Receive alerts when assistance may be required Simple Setup: Configure and update devices from a smartphone Activity Monitoring: Detect movement without manual inspections Platform Flexibility: Deploy with TrackIt or compatible LoRaWAN networks How a Tracking Deployment for LoRaWAN Works The WisNode Tag operates as part of a complete tracking solution for LoRaWAN. Location, motion, and event data are collected by the tracker and delivered through LoRaWAN infrastructure to the selected monitoring platform. Component Function WisNode Tag Collects location and motion information Gateway for LoRaWAN Receives tracker messages Network Server Processes traffic on LoRaWAN Application Platform Displays locations, alerts, and events User Monitors personnel and assets Key Features of the WisNode Tag Compact and lightweight design (92x59x7.55 mm / 50g) GPS tracker for LoRaWAN with TrackIt firmware Bluetooth configuration using the TrackIt mobile application Nordic nRF52840 ultra-low-power MCU Semtech SX1262 LoRa transceiver Integrated GNSS positioning module Built-in accelerometer for motion detection SOS alert functionality Internal LoRa, BLE, and GNSS antennas Rechargeable 1000 mAh lithium battery Magnetic USB charging interface Compatible with WisGate gateways and third-party LoRaWAN networks IP66 LoRa Device Enclosure Configure and Manage WisNode Tag with the TrackIt App Set up WisNode Tag, adjust tracking settings, monitor device status, and manage alerts directly from the TrackIt app. Available on iOS and Android: Use TrackIt on both Android and iOS devices for easy setup, tracking, and device management. Quick Tracker Setup: Discover, bind, and configure your Tracker via Bluetooth in just a few steps. Flexible LoRaWAN Connectivity: Connect to third-party Network Servers or deploy locally with RAK Gateway and BuildNS. Smart Tracking Modes: Choose from Static, Monitor, and Movement modes to balance tracking frequency, responsiveness, and battery life. Real-Time Location & Status: View the Tracker’s latest location, reporting time, battery level, and operating status in the app. SOS Emergency Alert: Trigger SOS alerts with location information, manage emergency contacts, and receive alert notifications. Device Sharing & On-Site Management: Share Trackers with other users and quickly identify devices on-site using sound and LED indicators. Geofencing and Event Monitoring The WisNode Tag can function as a geofencing tracker for LoRaWAN by generating events when tracked personnel or assets enter or leave predefined areas. Geofencing can be used to improve worker safety, monitor equipment utilization, verify site access, and detect unexpected asset movement. Common geofencing applications include: Lone worker safety monitoring Construction equipment tracking Facility access control Asset movement auditing Campus and site boundary monitoring LoRaWAN Tracking vs Alternative Tracking Solutions Organizations evaluating tracking technologies often compare LoRaWAN and cellular-based GPS trackers. The best option depends on infrastructure ownership, deployment size, and operational requirements.

Use Case #1: Lone Worker GPS Tracker A utility contractor experienced delayed worker check-ins during remote inspections. After deploying the WisNode Tag with SOS alerts and GNSS tracking, response verification improved from 78% to 97% across 50 field shifts. Results were validated through scheduled location reporting. Production deployment achieved consistent performance across 40 units. The customer reported that worker visibility became much easier to manage. Use Case #2: Construction Equipment Tracking Meanwhile, a construction company struggled to locate shared equipment between work zones. Using an equipment tracking device and motion monitoring, search times dropped from 18 minutes to 4 minutes on average. Testing covered 30 days and 25 tracked assets. Deployment records showed repeatable results across all devices. The customer stated that equipment utilization improved because locations were always available.
