Please excuse my poor sales banter - we are two communications technicians trying to fill a need.
We have done our best to do two things; These devices are the best technology in the world at the moment for these purposes, and we are offering them in the simplest possible format for retail sales. The idea is that if you are vaguely technical as most gun/offroader/motorcycle etc enthusiasts tend to be, you will be able to pick up one of these units from your mailbox and you're away.
There are other devices you might see about in NZ. These are generally 2G units units from the likes of AliExpress out of China. The issues with these units is they will generally need charging or battery changes every week or so, All of the connectivity management will be left to the customer, and the NZ 2G networks are getting phased out across the country. They also require a higher degree of technical management. These 2G units are not too bad for the $80 or so you can get them for off the internet, if you are willing to deal with the extra management but unfortunately you most often see them for sale in NZ marked up to more like $200+. For that money they are a rip off.
The devices we are selling from Digital Matter are currently the best in the world for low power IoT (internet of things) 4G/5G GPS devices. The data is stored and managed by a world renowned Australian company with all the best and current data security practices. We believe these devices are the first in the world that make this kind of end user retail sales viable for our applications.
We are taking care of all of the complications of managing connectivity etc, and we have priced it all on a very tight margin. The intention being that we want them to be a realistic option for people like ourselves just trying to look after their kit. Also to put it simply - we want to blow those cheap units out of the water, as they have no place posing as top quality devices.
