The 'ioTracker' is a device tracker that utilizes GPS technology in order to locate people, pets, things and much more with just a single keychain-sized piece of equipment. Requiring no charging and offering up to two years of battery life, the 'ioTracker' relies on the KPN LoRa IoT network in order to offer nationwide tracking both indoors and outdoors. This makes it possible for users quickly locate wherever the 'ioTracker' device is even if it's somewhere obscure or far away.

The 'ioTracker' device tracker is capable of being configured to utilize [geofencing technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/satellai-pet-tracker) in order to let you know when it has breached a set parameter or has returned to it. This makes the 'ioTracker' ideal for parents and [pet owners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life360-pet-gps) who want to keep better track of their family.
