How it Tracks
BLE Unit
Low-energy Bluetooth sensor network creates a digital filed that tracks cart movement throughout the store and parking lot.
Inside or Outside the Store
Cartnet determines the cart’s location via Bluetooth. if the asset is out of Bluetooth range, Cartnet switches to GPS to determine location.
Outside the Geo-Fence
Once the asset has moved beyond the digital geo-fence, it will appear as a red dot. Location is determined by GPS fix.
What if there is no GPS signal available?
The unit will send its location to Cartnet using Geospatial data from nearby cell towers and WiFi nodes – within an average radius of 70 meters. Any nearby cell phone, tablet or router can keep location data fresh and help Cartnet locate your cart!
