Technology: TrackR (Tracking Technology)

TrackR is a commercial key finder which assists in the tracking of lost belongings and devices. Trackr is produced by the company Phone Halo. The founders of Phone Halo began working on TrackR in 2009 and founded Phone Halo in 2010, launching the product the same year.

What is TrackR?

TrackR is the simplest way to find lost or misplaced items.

How does TrackR work?

Basics

TrackR devices use Bluetooth to connect to the TrackR app running on your phone. The app can monitor the distance between the phone and device by analyzing the power level of the received signal. This link can be used to ring the TrackR device or have the TrackR device ring the phone.

Bluetooth Low Energy

The device uses a new kind of radio called Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). BLE is not the same as Bluetooth Classic and consumes 50 times less power. TrackR was one of the first companies to use BLE in 2011. Thanks to BLE technology, TrackR devices have up to 1 year battery life while maintaining their small size.
