The core problem of vehicle theft
Vehicle theft is a widespread and growing problem that affects both private individuals and businesses.
Every day, countless cars are stolen worldwide, causing not only financial losses but also considerable inconvenience and security risks.
Professional gangs of thieves are becoming increasingly sophisticated and use modern technologies to trick conventional tracking systems such as GPS.
These systems often reach their limits, as thieves are able to jam or block signals.
Stolen vehicles are often moved quickly, transported to other countries or dismantled and the individual parts sold, making them difficult to recover.
Given these challenges, the need for more robust, inconspicuous and fail-safe tracking technologies is becoming increasingly urgent.
From classic cars to construction machinery
Passenger cars are the most frequent targets for vehicle thieves, as certain makes and models are particularly popular. Sports cars and luxury vehicles are also very popular as they are particularly valuable. Trucks are often stolen, not only because of their high value, but also because of the often expensive cargo they carry. Motorcycles are another common theft target due to their ease of handling and transportation.
However, it is not only the classic means of transportation that are affected, but also construction machinery and construction site equipment such as excavators, wheel loaders and generators, as they are often poorly secured and have a high value.
Even agricultural vehicles such as tractors are often stolen, as they are located in rural areas and are often poorly secured. Motorhomes and caravans are also popular targets as they are valuable and are often not adequately secured.
Protection against vehicle theft and its limits
There are various classic means of preventing vehicle theft, each of which has its strengths and limitations.
Steering wheel locks and wheel clamps physically block the vehicle, but can be defeated.
Alarm systems deter theft by making loud noises, but are often ignored or deactivated.
Immobilizers prevent the engine from starting, but can be bypassed.
Engravings and markings make vehicle parts identifiable, but are only a limited deterrent.
Garages and guarded parking lots offer additional protection, but are not always available and are often expensive.
GPS trackers allow the vehicle to be tracked, but are susceptible to jamming and can be detected and removed.
This is where Sigfox 0G technology comes into play, which can overcome these weaknesses.
The combination of GPS trackers with Sigfox creates a robust and reliable solution that significantly improves the location of stolen vehicles.
Efficient anti-theft protection through vehicle tracking:
GPS tracker and Sigfox 0G technology in use
Transmission technology explained simply
GPS trackers use satellite signals to determine the location of vehicles.
These trackers send the collected data via a network to a central location, which displays the location on a map.
Sigfox technology makes this transmission even more efficient.
Sigfox is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) that can transmit small amounts of data over long distances with minimal energy consumption.
This ensures that the GPS tracker works reliably and cost-effectively.
Robustness and safety
A major advantage of Sigfox technology is its robustness against interference signals.
In contrast to conventional GPS trackers, which can easily be switched off by jammers, the Sigfox transmission remains stable and reliable.
The small amount of data and the special radio frequency range make it almost impossible for thieves to block the signal.
In addition, Sigfox technology consumes very little energy, which enables long-term use without frequent battery changes.
Positioning through triangulation and WiFi sniffing
In addition to robust transmission, the combination of GPS tracker and Sigfox technology offers further advantages when it comes to localization.
Triangulation, in which the position is determined by measuring the signal strength of several Sigfox base stations, can increase the accuracy of the location determination.
In addition, WiFi sniffing can be used to detect available WiFi networks and further specify the position.
These methods enable fast and accurate positioning, even in urban areas or places with a weak GPS signal.

Your benefit.
A GPS tracking solution with Sigfox offers reliable and energy-efficient tracking of vehicles, even in remote areas.
The robust Sigfox technology resists jammers, which increases tracking reliability in the event of theft.
Thanks to the low energy consumption, the battery life of the trackers is extended, which reduces maintenance.
Sigfox enables cost-efficient data transmission and seamless monitoring across national borders thanks to broad network coverage.
The compact trackers can be installed inconspicuously in the vehicle, making it difficult for thieves to detect and remove them.
These advantages make GPS tracking with Sigfox an effective solution for vehicle tracking and security.
Reliable localization
The combination of GPS and Sigfox enables vehicles to be located precisely even in remote areas. The Sigfox network covers large areas and enables reliable data transmission.
High interference immunity
Sigfox signals are robust against jammers that can block conventional GPS signals. This makes it more difficult for thieves to interrupt the signal.
Low energy consumption
Sigfox devices consume very little energy, which results in a longer battery life. This means that the trackers require less maintenance or recharging, which is particularly advantageous for concealed installations.
Cost efficiency
Sigfox offers a cost-effective way of transmitting data, as it is specially optimized for the transmission of small amounts of data. This reduces the running costs for data transmission compared to other mobile technologies.
Simple integration
GPS trackers with Sigfox technology are easy to integrate into existing systems. They can be seamlessly combined with other security technologies to create a comprehensive anti-theft system.
Inconspicuousness
Thanks to their low energy consumption and compact design, the trackers can be installed inconspicuously in the vehicle. This makes it difficult for thieves to discover and remove the devices.
