Rated by teams who run plant, fleet and tools
“Our investment in MapTrack paid off in a big way when a couple of pieces of test equipment, valued at over $142,000 AUD, was stolen during a break-in at an employee's home. Thanks to MapTrack, we were able to give police the exact location of the asset, even guiding them over the phone as they executed the search warrant. This led them directly to the equipment, which was recovered within 48 hours.”
Oyster BLE features and specifications
The Oyster BLE is engineered for tough conditions. It runs on off-the-shelf AA lithium cells, which keep working in sub-zero cold rooms and desert heat across its -30°C to +60°C operating range, where standard alkaline cells fade. The IP68/IK07 housing resists submersion, crushing, and vibration, while the built-in BLE gateway detects nearby Bluetooth beacons for asset association and proximity tracking. This is the tracker you deploy when reliability is non-negotiable.

Fleet cost estimator
What Oyster BLE trackers cost for your fleet
Choose how many vehicles and assets you would track. You'll see the upfront and monthly cost ex GST, with inc GST beside it, then book a demo and we'll walk through your numbers in MapTrack.
One tracker per vehicle, machine or trailer.
How long the Oyster BLE battery lasts
Battery life depends on how often the tracker reports its position. These are the rated figures for the Oyster BLE, each at the update rate it assumes. Temperature, signal and your tracking settings change them, so we size the reporting rate with you in the demo.
Up to 10 years
At one update a day
Up to 6 years
With movement-based tracking (2 hours of movement a day, 5 days a week)
Up to 3.5 years
At one update an hour
The batteries are user-replaceable, and you can see each tracker's battery level in MapTrack, so you replace them when they're low rather than on a guess.
Not sure the Oyster BLE is the right fit?
Tell us what you're tracking and we'll match a tracker and data plan to each asset in a 30-minute demo, then set up your MapTrack account and devices for you.
Ideal for
Best for
Mining haul trucks and drill rigs
Lithium cells rated -30°C to +60°C and an IP68/IK07 housing built for the harshest mine sites on earth.
Cold room and freezer assets
Keeps reporting in sub-zero cold rooms and freezers down to -30°C, where standard alkaline cells fade.
Shipping containers and intermodal freight
IP68 submersion-rated housing withstands washdown, salt spray, and the rigours of port-side handling and ocean transit.
Oil and gas wellhead and pipeline equipment
Lithium cells rated -30°C to +60°C handle desert heat and sub-zero mornings on remote well sites. IP68 housing withstands wash-down and dust across pipeline corridors.
Heavy construction equipment and cranes
LNA for reliable GPS fixes in difficult signal positions, such as between tall buildings or under overhead structures on construction sites.
Agricultural machinery on remote properties
Up to 10 years' battery at one update a day and a -30°C to +60°C operating range handle baking summer heat and frost across large pastoral stations.
“Bloody amazing! We used to spend 1-2 days a week tracking and managing our generators alone.”
