Synopsis Track Drift – Long-Endurance Covert Container Vent-Mount Tracking Solution

The Synopsis Track Drift is a specialised long-endurance tracking system engineered for global freight, maritime logistics, and containerised cargo operations that demand covert placement, multi-year autonomy, and uncompromising reliability.

 

Designed in a container-vent form factor, the Drift blends seamlessly into standard cargo infrastructure, enabling invisible deployment without altering the integrity or appearance of the asset.

 

Powered by a 10800 mAh, non-rechargeable industrial lithium battery, the Drift supports up to eight years of standby with daily reporting, making it one of the highest-endurance passive container tracking solutions available. Its IP67-rated housing ensures resilience against water, dust, vibration, and environmental extremes common across sea freight, cross-border logistics, and field storage environments.

 

The device integrates GNSS, AGPS, and LBS positioning to maintain consistent tracking performance across ports, inland corridors, maritime routes, and remote regions. Coupled with light, vibration, collision, and removal sensors, the Drift provides real-time detection of tampering, exposure, or unauthorised movement.

 

Equipped with an embedded global SIM featuring coverage in 173+ countries and a 500 MB / 3-year data plan, the Sentinel Drift operates seamlessly across international borders without roaming configuration.

 

The device can transmit to any existing telematics or visibility platform, or it may be paired with the Sentinel Platform for enhanced event management, historical reporting, and operational oversight.

 

Purpose-built for global container logistics, long-haul freight, and covert asset protection, the Sentinel Drift delivers lasting reliability, silent performance, and multi-year operational autonomy.

OPTIONAL SENTINEL PLATFORM ACCESS 

The Sentinel Drift can be directed to any existing telematics, container-tracking, or logistics visibility system, enabling seamless compatibility with enterprise supply-chain platforms.

 

For enhanced operational intelligence, clients may activate the Sentinel Platform, offering:

• Real-time location visibility and map-based tracking

• Journey history, route replay, and event logs

• Geofence management and automated deviation alerts

• Centralised escalation workflows and audit-grade reporting

• Telemetry insights including tamper, vibration, exposure, and movement events
• Cost: R65 ex VAT per month per device

 

Platform subscription is optional. The Drift operates independently using the included global SIM package if no platform integration is required.
