Everything the FC-101S Solar offers — IP67, 5–7 year field life, multi-GNSS, LTE-M — plus an external I/O harness for door open/close, temperature, hitched/unhitched detection, and cargo sensors. Built for refrigerated trailers, secure cargo, and regulated transport.
Tracking is only half the story for refrigerated, regulated, or high-value loads. The FC-101S-EX adds the I/O surface area to monitor what's inside the trailer, whether the doors are open, whether it's still hitched, and whether the reefer is doing its job.
Door open/close inputs, temperature probes, analog and digital sensor inputs. Wire it to whatever the cargo demands.
Tractor power-line input distinguishes "trailer in transit" from "trailer parked unattended." Theft, dwell-time, and driver-handoff alerts that actually work.
Temperature probes feed live and historical cargo-temperature data to iMatrix Cloud — pair with NIST-certified sensors for FSMA-ready reefer reports.
Integrated solar panel + rechargeable battery. 5–7 year zero-maintenance field life — same as the FC-101S.
Sealed against weather, dust, and pressure-washing. Operating range −40°F to 185°F.
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou — fast first-fix anywhere in the world.
Low-power cellular over 900+ networks in 195 countries. Zones 1 & 2 included on every plan.
No contracts. No loaner program. No early-exit fees. The hardware is yours forever — cancel the plan any time.
