Technical specifications for this feline-specific hardware indicate a multi-constellation GNSS receiver that processes signals from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. Material analysis confirms an IPX7 waterproof rating, with the internal PCB featuring an integrated trace antenna optimized for 1700/1900MHz cellular bands. The device operates as a standalone cellular node using a low-power LTE-M modem, bypassing the need for a proximity-based smartphone mesh.
Performance metrics demonstrate that the integrated 3-axis accelerometer provides data for wellness monitoring by categorizing movement heuristics locally before cloud synchronization. To mitigate the high power draw of the cellular and GPS radios, the system utilizes a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi handoff protocol to enter a deep-sleep state when the pet is within a known "Power Saving Zone." Aggregated data lists the update interval in "Live Mode" at 2 to 3 seconds.
Structural dimensions are optimized for feline ergonomics, though the 48-hour standard battery life necessitates frequent recharging via a proprietary magnetic cable. The Tractive Cat GPS is a specialized alternative for owners requiring real-time tracking in areas where Bluetooth mesh density is insufficient.
This device is a representative example of a cellular-enabled node within the pet and child monitoring hardware sector.
