SimplePack 2.0 RC3

SimplePack 2.0 is a multi-purpose device for integrators to build many of their IoT solutions upon. It can be remotely configured for 7 different modes depending on the needs of a particular usage enabling tens of possible business cases. 

1. Press me - ordering, notifying or alerting worldwide (order/panic/remote control button)
2. Track - location tracking of any movement or impact (luggage, pallet, asset)
3. Trace - real-time journey tracing of a package and any impact
4. Guard - notification of any movement or bang (door, drawer, car, bike, house)
5. Put me back - monitor overturn, tilt or displacement of any object (garbage containers, road signs, electricity poles)
6. Monitor me - monitor run times and level of vibration of any engine or monitor office space usage when putting under a chair
7. Don't drop me - in case of a major impact during the transportation of goods

25 business use case scenarios are identified and described in detail in this datasheet.

Among the use cases, you can find:

• Window, door guard/ monitoring
• Office chair monitoring (you can find more about this use case here)
• Elderly care - either as an emergency panic button (we've written a blog post about this!) or to monitor the movement and the position
• Coffee machine and coffee bean consumption monitoring - reorder button, maintenance. Btw, we are currently monitoring 50 coffee machines worldwide among Sigfox Operators! Find it here.
• Guard your assets (bikes, cars, drawer, house, etc)
• Manhole cover monitoring, watch a video tutorial on how it works
• Horizontal barrier gates monitoring (checking status and position of the gate, major impact)
• Order button (repeated ordering of goods such as office supplies, food)
• And much more

SimplePack is, as the name would suggest, quite simple. It contains an assembly language programmable MCU, an accelerometer, an LED diode, a button, a Sigfox modem, an antenna, and a non-replaceable, non-rechargeable battery.SimplePack 2.0 can be used only for Sigfox Atlas tracking with the precision of 1km. If you are looking for precise localization - WiFi-based tracking - please see SimplePack 4.0 Plus WiFi tracker.

• Packaged in a nice, small and waterproof case
• Plenty of space for a branded sticker or maybe a UV print and of course the two-sided tape which holds the device where it's needed
• Endless possibilities of SimplePack utilization in combination with Sigfox Geolocation
• Waterproof through ultrasonic welding and no openings (no official IP rating - however, the manufacturing process is identical to the way the SimplePack 4.0 Plus Full is made - and this device has an official IP68 rating)
• Open and documented API (can be found right here)
• Battery type: Primary LiMnO2 (non-rechargeable, non-replaceable), 550 mAh
• Longevity in guard mode: 10 years
• Number of messages: 4000

*the number of messages and battery longevity in years was taken from some testing we've done with the SimplePack (both versions) - the devices were in the Guard me mode and were not sending more 140 messages/day (Sigfox daily limit). For more info read here.

The 2.0 version also has noticeable improvements over the first one, among them a brighter LED light, a button of higher quality so the clicking is proper, QR code containing the ID and the PAC engraved with laser and much more modes found in the API 5. 

Developed and mass-manufactured in the Czech Republic.
