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 Edge features and specifications
The Oyster Edge combines hybrid indoor-outdoor positioning with a built-in Bluetooth 5.2 gateway, making it both a standalone tracker and a hub for nearby BLE beacons. Attach beacons to smaller assets like tools, safety equipment, or pallets, and the Oyster Edge automatically reports their proximity whenever it uploads its own location. This hub-and-spoke approach lets you track hundreds of items with a fraction of the cellular devices. Cloud-based location solving minimises power draw while GNSS, Wi-Fi, and cell tower positioning ensures coverage in any environment.

Fleet cost estimator
What Oyster Edge 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 Edge battery lasts
Battery life depends on how often the tracker reports its position. These are the rated figures for the Oyster Edge, 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 7 years
With movement-based tracking (2 hours of movement a day, 5 days a week)
Up to 4.5 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 Edge 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
Tool cribs and laydown yards
Mount one Oyster Edge per storage area. BLE 5.2 gateway auto-detects every beacon-tagged tool, harness, and accessory nearby.
Safety equipment and harnesses
Attach low-cost BLE beacons to harnesses, gas detectors, and fire extinguishers. The Oyster Edge reports their proximity and last-seen location.
Trailers carrying tagged cargo
Mount the Oyster Edge on the trailer. Beacons on individual cargo items report what is loaded and what was offloaded at each stop.
Aircraft parts and rotable components
Proven in aviation for tracking high-value rotable parts. BLE gateway detects tagged components stored in hangars and workshops.
Cold chain monitoring with BLE sensors
BLE 5.2 reads nearby temperature and humidity sensors alongside location beacons. One device provides both position and condition monitoring.
Warehouse zone tracking
Gateway detects beacon-tagged pallets, crates, and bins. One Oyster Edge per zone maps what stock is where across your facility.
Facilities management equipment rooms
Mount one Oyster Edge per plant room or equipment store. BLE 5.2 gateway auto-detects beacon-tagged HVAC units, fire equipment, AV gear, and cleaning machinery within range.
“Bloody amazing! We used to spend 1-2 days a week tracking and managing our generators alone.”
