The Eco 1 is a compact, single-use shipment tracker designed for end-to-end visibility of high-value or sensitive goods during domestic and international transit. With global LTE and GSM connectivity, Wi-Fi–assisted positioning, and built-in environmental sensors, Eco 1 provides reliable real-time monitoring without requiring device recovery.
Preconfigured reporting behavior, real-time alerting, and an automatic flight-safe mode make Eco 1 ideal for one-way logistics, compliance-sensitive shipments, and long-haul global transport.
🔋 Key Features
Disposable, single-use shipment tracker
Global LTE and GSM connectivity with Wi-Fi–assisted positioning
Monitors temperature, humidity, shock, and ambient light
Automatic flight-safe mode during air transport
Compact, lightweight design for easy packaging integration
Global coverage across 210+ countries and 600+ networks
Quick note: Shock and ambient light data are collected by the device but are not yet visible in the GPX platform. These features are on our roadmap and planned for future platform updates.
📡 Reporting & Sensors
Eco 1 reports location and sensor data using cell tower triangulation combined with Wi-Fi–assisted positioning when nearby networks are available.
Default reporting interval: Every 4 hours
Reports are connection-dependent; if connectivity is unavailable, data is backfilled once a connection is restored
Automatic flight-safe mode disables transmissions when flight is detected to comply with air travel regulations, conserving battery. Normal operation resumes once the device confirms the shipment has landed.
Quick note: To change the reporting frequency from the default setting, please contact GPX Support at gpx.co. Reporting frequency changes are managed by the GPX team to ensure optimal battery performance.
If a location fix cannot be obtained, the device will still capture temperature and humidity readings, though these values may not appear visually on the map without a location reference.
🔋 Battery Life by Reporting Frequency
Battery life varies based on reporting configuration:
Reporting Interval | Upload Frequency | Estimated Battery Life |
Every 4 hours (default) | Every 4 hours | 2–2.5 months |
Every 30 minutes | Uploaded every hour | ~1 month |
Every 15 minutes | Uploaded every 30 minutes | 1.5–2.5 weeks |
⚡ Activating Your Eco 1 Tracker
To power on the Eco 1:
Press and hold the power button in the center of the tracker
Hold for at least 3 seconds until a green LED appears (to the left of the button)
Release the button — the device will begin reporting automatically
Quick Note:
It may take up to 30 minutes for the first position to appear on the map
The first report may not include battery, temperature, or humidity data
All subsequent reports will include full sensor information
Battery level typically starts around 85–88%, which is expected and factored into all battery life estimates.
📦 Placing Your Eco 1 Tracker
To install the tracker on your shipment:
Remove the protective film from the adhesive backing
Attach the device directly to the cargo or packaging, either inside or outside
Choose a location that minimizes crushing and avoids heavy metal obstruction
Quick Note: For best results, place the Eco 1 where it is protected but not shielded.
🗑️ Disposal of Tracker
After shipment completion:
Pry up the corner of the device to peel it off the cargo surface
Separate the electronic module from the plastic and cardboard components
Dispose of electronic components at designated recycling points
