Assets That Move Deserve Tracking That Moves With Them.
Sphere's NB-IoT Asset Tracking solution delivers nationwide asset visibility for equipment, vehicles, and shipments in transit — using cellular NB-IoT networks with no private gateway infrastructure. Ideal for assets that span multiple facilities, regions, or supply chain partners.
Trusted by Leading Enterprises
Why This Matters Now
Enterprises with assets in transit – rental equipment, leased vehicles, shipped goods, field tools – have no cost-effective way to track them once they leave a facility. GPS is too expensive at scale. LoRaWAN requires gateway infrastructure at every location. Bluetooth has no range. The result:
1. Transit Is a Tracking Black Hole
Once an asset leaves a facility, most companies lose real-time visibility entirely. Equipment gets lost, rental fleets aren't returned, and cold chain violations go undetected.
2. GPS Cellular Costs Are Prohibitive
Tracking 500 assets via GPS at $25/month per device costs $150K/year in connectivity alone — making ROI nearly impossible for low-to-medium value assets.
3. No Infrastructure = No Tracking
LoRaWAN and Bluetooth require local infrastructure at every location. For assets moving between dozens of sites, partners, and customers, that's simply not feasible.
What Sphere Delivers
NB-IoT or Narrowband IoT is a cellular standard designed specifically for IoT devices – offering nationwide coverage via existing LTE towers, sub-$1/month connectivity, and 10-year battery life on a single charge. Sphere's NB-IoT Asset Tracking platform combines pre-certified NB-IoT tags, AWS IoT Core, geofencing, and ERP/TMS integration into a turnkey solution.
Nationwide LTE-Based Coverage
Leverages existing LTE tower infrastructure from T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. Tracks assets anywhere with cell service — no private gateways, no facility infrastructure.
Multi-Sensor Condition Monitoring
Tags measure temperature, humidity, shock, and tilt in transit – with configurable alerts for excursions. Ideal for pharmaceuticals, food logistics, and sensitive equipment.
10-Year Battery Life
NB-IoT's ultra-low-power protocol enables tags that transmit location, temperature, and condition data for up to 10 years on a coin-cell battery.
ERP & TMS Integration
Bidirectional integration with SAP, Oracle, Manhattan Associates, and major TMS platforms – enriching existing supply chain data with real-time location and condition intelligence.
Supply Chain Visibility
End-to-end shipment and asset visibility across your entire supply chain – including third-party carriers, warehouses, and customer sites.
Predictive Delivery Intelligence
Use live location, route progress, and condition data to predict delivery delays before they cascade into customer or operational issues. Operations teams get early alerts on missed milestones, stalled shipments, route deviations, and in-transit risk.
Built On Industry-Leading Technology
Sphere's NB-IoT asset tracking platform runs on a proven stack built for large-scale, real-world deployment. The architecture combines carrier-backed connectivity, AWS-native device and event services, geofencing, alerting, and enterprise system connectors to move asset data from the field into operational workflows without custom infrastructure.

ROI & Business Impact
Payback in 60–90 Days
NB-IoT tracking typically delivers ROI within 60–90 days for companies with significant asset loss or transit blind spots.
$200K–$800K Annual Savings
Typical annual savings: $200K–$800K from reduced asset loss, faster rental returns, eliminated theft, and cold chain violation prevention.
95%+ Connectivity Cost Reduction
At sub-$1/month per device, a 500-asset deployment costs under $6K/year in connectivity — compared to $150K+ for GPS/cellular alternatives.
