What makes the DIS-Echo stand out?
The DIS-Echo stands out with its advanced beaconing technology, specifically designed for challenging environments. Unlike traditional Bluetooth beacons, this technology is optimized for penetrating water-holding goods and steel racking systems. Through advanced interference optimization, it maintains a high beacon-to-base station ratio, allowing you to track all your assets with fewer base stations. This not only enhances tracking efficiency but also significantly reduces costs.
What’s more, beaconing improves positioning accuracy while ensuring low-power operation. This feature contributes to an impressive 10-year battery life on the beacon, extending the overall lifespan of the device and ensuring continuous updates over time. Whether you’re operating in a warehouse, factory, or logistics hub, the DIS-Echo offers an effortless, future-proof solution for asset tracking, making it a reliable choice for long-term operations.
Seamless Sigfox 0G connectivity
Once the DIS-Echo moves beyond your designated areas, it seamlessly switches to Sigfox 0G, a low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) technology owned by UnaBiz. “UnaBiz is committed to providing cost-efficient and scalable solutions that help logistics leaders improve operational efficiency,” said David Royet, VP Global Sales at UnaBiz. ‘’This is exactly what the DIS-Echo promises: a cost-efficient way to track all of your assets’’.
While the beaconing technology keeps your assets tracked within your range, Sigfox 0G only kicks in when needed—meaning you only pay for the Sigfox network if the beaconing signal falls outside your coverage area. This makes the DIS-Echo a cost-efficient tracking solution, ensuring reliable performance even in remote or large-scale environments. With Citymesh’s robust Sigfox 0G coverage in The Netherlands and Belgium, the device maintains consistent connectivity across borders, offering global coverage with ultra-low power consumption and reliable data transmission.
Key features of the DIS-Echo
The DIS-Echo is packed with features designed to enhance efficiency, reliability, and ease of use. Below are some of the key functionalities that make it a standout solution for asset tracking:
Cost-efficient beaconing: Designed for cost-effective tracking, this device transmits a beacon signal every 5 minutes, detectable from 100 to 1500 meters. This ensures reliable communication within your range, while minimizing operational costs—without the need for external network infrastructure. When outside of this range, it automatically falls back to Sigfox 0G for uninterrupted tracking.
Standalone Sigfox operation: For extended coverage beyond your locations, the device seamlessly switches to Sigfox Class 0 technology, transmitting location data over the Sigfox network. This ensures uninterrupted tracking and eliminates the need for additional infrastructure, offering long-range connectivity wherever you need it
Sigfox localization: Stay on top of asset movement with location updates twice a day. These updates are customizable based on your preferred interval, offering location data that depends on the Sigfox coverage in the device’s vicinity.
Configurable transmission intervals: Optimize power consumption with adjustable transmission intervals. You can fine-tune the settings to balance energy efficiency and tracking performance, allowing the device to adapt to the unique needs of your business.
Temperature monitoring: For businesses handling sensitive assets, our device’s built-in temperature sensor provides environmental monitoring. Ideal for managing perishable goods or temperature-sensitive equipment, it ensures your assets remain within safe temperature ranges.
Long-lasting battery life: Designed to reduce maintenance needs, the DIS-Echo boasts an impressive 10+ years of battery life under standard use. This longevity offers a hassle-free experience, keeping your operations running smoothly for the long haul.
Continent check: Our device offers a daily geographic update, enabling you to verify the location of your assets across different regions. This feature ensures that you can always confirm where your assets are, no matter where in the world they may be.
Durable for harsh environments: With an IP66 & IP67 rating, the DIS-Echo is dustproof and waterproof, ensuring reliable operation even in challenging conditions. Additionally, the device is built with an IK8 impact resistance rating, making it highly durable for industrial and logistics applications.
Compact and lightweight design: The DIS-Echo is designed with space efficiency in mind, measuring just 102mm x 35.5mm x 15mm.
By combining cost-efficient beaconing with a seamless fallback to Sigfox connectivity, the DIS-Echo offers a versatile, reliable, and scalable solution for asset management. Whether you're managing logistics, transportation, or sensitive equipment, the DIS-Echo ensures you stay connected and informed at all times.
Dutch IoT Solutions on the future of asset tracking
The DIS-Echo is designed for businesses that require a cost-effective, scalable, and reliable asset tracking solution in logistics, supply chain management, and industrial monitoring. It is particularly ideal for companies managing large warehouses, production facilities, cross-docking centers, or supply chains where assets frequently move between owned sites and external locations. Thanks to its cost-effectiveness, the DIS-Echo makes it possible for companies to track both high-value and low-value assets. This is especially important since traditionally, businesses might not track low-value assets due to the high costs of expensive tracking solutions. “With the DIS-Echo, we are introducing a new level of efficiency and scalability to asset tracking,” said Stefan Maas, Sales Manager at Dutch IoT Solutions. “By prioritizing beaconing on owned sites and seamlessly switching to conditional connectivity beyond those locations, businesses can track their assets with unparalleled precision. This is a game-changer for logistics, industrial monitoring, and supply chain optimization.”
