Ultra-thin card-sized tracker with GPS. This device is another pocket-sized mesh radio in a card form factor that is durable and ready for the outdoors with an IP65 rating. This one is a little smaller than the WisMesh Tag with a smaller pricetag as well. The smaller size means a smaller battery however, but you still get multiple days of general use with it.
