iMatrix FC-119 · Compact AA Asset Tracker

Two AA cells. Swap them anywhere.

The tracker for assets where recharging is impractical and a proprietary battery pack is one more part to stock. The FC-119 runs on two ordinary AA lithium cells — when they run down, anyone with a screwdriver puts it back in service in a minute.

  • 2 x AA cells
  • Field-swappable
  • Wi-Fi indoor location
  • BLE 5.4
  • IP67

iMatrix FC-119 compact AA-powered GPS asset tracker in a slim sealed black case

Full-featured tracking on the battery every hardware store sells.

The FC-119 trades battery capacity for convenience. It carries the same Wi-Fi location, Bluetooth scanning, and tamper sensing as the larger FC-115, in a case 0.71 inches thick, on cells you can buy anywhere.

🔋

Two AA Cells

Runs on two AA lithium cells, sold separately. No charger, no proprietary pack, no waiting on a spare.

🔁

Swap in the Field

Replace the cells on site and the same tracker goes straight back to work.

📶

Wi-Fi Indoor Location

Scans Wi-Fi access points to place the asset when it is under a roof and satellites are out of view.

🔵

BLE 5.4 Sensor Scanning

Scans nearby Bluetooth sensors and reports what it hears alongside the position fix.

🔒

Tamper Detection

A light sensor detects the tracker being pulled off the asset.

🏃

6-Axis Motion Sensing

Detects movement and wakes the tracker when the asset starts to travel.

📏

0.71 in Thin

2.48 × 3.70 × 0.71 in and 3.5 oz with cells fitted — small enough for a tool case or a returnable tote.

🛡

IP67 Sealed Case

Dust-tight and rated for 30 minutes at one metre of immersion.

Choose it for the swap, not the runtime. Two AA cells hold far less energy than the sealed packs in the FC-113 and FC-115, so the FC-119 has the shortest battery life in the group — and frequent reporting shortens it quickly. It is the right unit when the asset comes back to people who can change the cells. Tell us the reporting interval and we will size it with you.

Where the FC-119 goes to work.

Deploying it and leaving it for years? Look at the FC-113 (19 Ah) or the FC-115 (17 Ah with Wi-Fi location) instead.

$129.00 hardware. Two plan tiers. No contract.

How the plan changes the battery math. Locate wakes the tracker once a day, which is the gentlest life two AA cells can have. Track reports on motion and scans Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so a busy asset needs fresh cells much sooner. Month to month on both tiers — cancel any time, and the hardware stays yours.
Connectivity. Every plan includes the iMatrix EdgeUplink eSIM. It is not tied to one carrier — it selects the best available cellular network per country. Zone 2 (North America) is included. The FC-119 is a North America release today; other regions are not offered. Data reports to iMatrix Cloud, where the FC-119 sits alongside your vehicles and gateways on one map, under one login.

FC-119 questions.

What batteries does the FC-119 use?

Two AA lithium cells. They are not included with the tracker; order two per unit (FC-119-BAT-AA, $3.95 each).

When should I choose the FC-119 over the FC-113 or FC-115?

Choose the FC-119 when the asset returns to people who can change the cells and you want off-the-shelf batteries. Two AA cells hold less energy than a sealed pack, so for multi-year unattended deployments the FC-113 or FC-115 is the better fit.

Does the FC-119 work indoors?

Yes. It scans Wi-Fi access points to place the asset when satellites are out of view.

How much does the FC-119 cost?

$129.00 for the hardware, plus a plan: Locate at $7.99 per month or Track at $11.99 per month. There is no contract.

Where can the FC-119 be used?

The FC-119 is a North America release. Every plan includes the iMatrix EdgeUplink eSIM with Zone 2 (North America) connectivity.

Is there a contract?

No. You own the hardware outright and plans run month to month. Cancel any time.
