Conventional IoT runs on batteries, SIM cards, gateways and wires. Ambient IoT rewrites the rules — energy harvested when possible, communications opportunistic, costs low enough to deploy on every individual unit, not just every pallet.
Microcontrollers spend 99%+ of their life asleep, drawing single-digit microamps. Sensing is event-driven; transmission bursts last milliseconds; broadcast intervals are configurable from 100 ms to 12 hours.
StiknTrak SNT-UF101 targets sub-dollar disposable economics — a paper-thin tag with a zinc-coated battery. The SNS-S05T disposable temperature logger rides inside cold-chain shipments and stores 60,000 on-board readings. Cost-per-device is engineered to disappear into the unit price.
Where physics allow we harvest energy from the environment — RF, light, motion, thermal gradients. Where a battery is needed, we use the smallest, cheapest, longest-lived chemistry the application can tolerate.
Rather than building dedicated networks, devices broadcast on standard BLE 5. Workers' phones, fleet vehicles and forklifts already in the environment become free, ambient gateways that ferry data to SAVP.
Every StiknTrak device — across all three families — feeds the StiknTrak Asset Visualisation Platform (SAVP). SAVP is the cloud system of record for location, condition, and chain-of-custody data.
Asset positions on map, live as opportunistic relays update. Indoor, outdoor, in-transit.
Temperature, humidity, oxygen, motion. Email, SMS, LED notifications for any deviation.
Excel reports, 21 CFR Part 11, GxP and ISO chain-of-custody logs at the unit level.
Up to 350 m line-of-sight. Relayed by phones, gateways, sister devices. Standard radio in every StiknTrak and StiknSense product.
SNT-L3G beacon/gateway connects directly to the cloud via NB-IoT or LTE-M (Cat-M1) — for sites where no BLE relay infrastructure exists.
Optional positioning on SNT-L3G — outdoor accuracy ~30 m. Used where opportunistic BLE coverage is sparse.
Hybrid Kinéis satellite + BLE smart-label, co-developed with Linxens IoT Solutions. Near-real-time global coverage, GNSS positioning, solar-powered with 8–10 year autonomy — for containers, freight wagons and trailers beyond cellular reach.
±0.2 °C accuracy across cold-chain ranges. Logging at 1–60 minute intervals.
±0.5–2 % RH. Detects packaging breaches and moisture excursions.
BLE proximity, opportunistic relay, optional GNSS (GPS / GLONASS / BeiDou) and Kinéis satellite for global coverage.
3-axis accelerometer for activity, idle status, drop and shock-event detection.
