Track, trace, and more: explore our devices for a smarter IoT
The Internet of Things continues to enable new and evolving use cases. G+D’s innovative telematics devices and sensors, with their own built-in power and connectivity, enable seamless track-and-trace monitoring of non-powered objects across geographies and networks. While these low-power, sustainable devices are currently most visible in the management of supply chains, their uses expand across healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and other areas as the Massive IoT era gathers momentum.
The IoT is transforming enterprise logistics
The number of connected devices worldwide is set to reach 34 billion by 2028. To consider transport in just one region, road freight within the European Union alone totaled 13.6 billion metric tons in 2022. The worldwide market for the transport and logistics segment of IoT was $31 billion in the same period. According to GlobalData, that number is set to grow to almost $67 billion in 2027.
Supply chains are becoming increasingly globalized, which in turn exposes them to impacts from natural events, geopolitics, fuel price and availability, and other challenges. Enterprises of every size need to know where their goods are and what condition they are in, from the beginning of the supply chain to its conclusion. Delivering that capability includes providing the smartest and most sustainable low-power devices; seamless connectivity across networks, communication protocols, and borders; and the best data analytics platform for transparency. In other words, end-to-end (E2E) solutions.
At G+D, we offer E2E IoT solutions for your enterprise.
Secure connectivity and visibility in the Massive IoT
Never lose sight of what matters, whether your goods are stuck at a border crossing, traveling through a conflict zone, or moving within a 2G network, LTE Cat-M1, or even satellite connectivity. Your business requires complete visibility over the entire process, so your logistics and operations can work more efficiently.
We provide intermodal solutions with global coverage for businesses operating in transport, shipping, telematics, logistics, aviation, and much more.
- Access our roaming agreements, with over 600 networks across 185 countries worldwide.
- Analyze the data flowing from all those devices on our in-house IoT logistics platform.
- And acquire the devices that bring a smarter, more secure IoT to your business, right here.

As use cases evolve, so do our solutions
Our IoT tracking devices are equipped with sensors that detect location, acceleration, vibrations, temperature, and more, providing real-time data. These network- and platform-agnostic devices are available with different connectivity technologies to suit your specific use case. Our E2E tracking system not only allows you to determine the current position of goods and containers worldwide, but also calculates storage time at stopovers and estimates time of arrival, while closely monitoring the quality of transported goods.
- On land: Among other assets, we offer solar-charged industrial trackers for outdoor use on road and rail, for constant power and continual tracking.
- By air: Track airport ground equipment such as unit load devices (ULDs), pallets, and dollies with our versatile solutions. Take that capability into the air with devices with a built-in flight mode, automatically sleeping on take-off, and powering back up on landing.
- By sea: Our container tracking system transparently determines the position and condition of goods around the world. Data from the automatic identification systems (AIS) –utilized by ships, offshore bases, and satellites worldwide – seamlessly integrates with information from base stations on shipping vessels and our own sensors to provide the in-depth insights you need.
