Samsung releases new SmartThings Tracker with LTE support

Samsung has released a new SmartThings Tracker, a GPS tracker which uses LTE-M technology.

“LTE-M network technology provides a greater range of signal coverage over Bluetooth, allowing for better tracking accuracy when a SmartThings Tracker is indoors or below street level,” said Samsung.

It uses LTE + GPS so range should not be problem as long as it has cell reception.

Battery only lasts a werk so may not be a great solution for pets.

Could be handy with small kids when going out...

House cats -- they just go out for a few hours or so, but I would like to see how they travel.

I had a small Go Pro like camera on Bubbles once, it was hilarious what the cat gets up too. Still, want to do it with Meow Meow, but need a small camera (it wasn't mine').

Unless this is really much cheaper you could achieve the same tracking for a lot less with devices currently available on the market.

Like? Most only do Bluetooth not LTE-M + GPS.

I've not seen any in SA, that is untethered.
I did slap a Mikrotik with GPS on Bubbles once, but its too big, the cat did not enjoy it.
