Powerful Angel Box


Introducing the “Powerful Angel Box” – an advanced signal collection device. It detects Bluetooth and LoRa signals, adaptable for fixed or mobile use, even on smart lamps or drones. With Wi-Fi (4G/5G) and PoE connectivity, communication is seamless. Precise location tracking enabled by the built-in GPS module. Easy monitoring and control through the management backend system.

Smart Tags


Our smart tags, incorporating both LoRa and BLE technologies, are designed to be indispensable in search missions. With their versatility, they excel in tracking and fulfilling various operational requirements, making them an essential asset for diverse scenarios. The low energy consumption and simplified deployment further enhance their effectiveness, ensuring reliable and efficient long-range localization tailored to specific user habits.
