Cellular Network-Based Tracking for Smart People Monitoring
IPEOPLE TRACKING enables real-time people tracking through cellular networks—ideal for mobile, remote, and expansive environments.

Cellular Network-Based Tracking for Wide-Area Mobility
Cellular network-based tracking harnesses mobile communication infrastructure to accurately monitor the location of individuals across expansive and dynamic environments. By utilizing existing cellular towers and networks, it enables real-time transmission of geolocation data, ensuring reliable tracking over long distances—including city-wide, regional, or national coverage.
Unlike Wi-Fi or other short-range solutions, cellular tracking excels in outdoor and remote areas, making it ideal for mobile teams, field personnel, and dispersed workforces. This technology provides extensive coverage, uninterrupted mobility, and instant access to location data, supporting enhanced safety, operational visibility, and informed decision-making.
