Fargo, ND — Pedigree Technologies, a leading provider of fleet and asset intelligence solutions, today announced the availability of its new Tail Light Tracker, a DOT-approved GPS tracking device concealed inside a standard trailer tail light. Designed to deliver reliable, real-time visibility without complex installation, the Tail Light Tracker helps fleets reduce theft risk, improve asset recovery, and extend tracking beyond the trailer itself.
Trailer theft and lost equipment continue to be costly challenges for fleets operating across transportation, construction, and industrial markets. Traditional tracking devices are often exposed, easy to remove, or require time-consuming installs that limit scalability. Pedigree Technologies’ Tail Light Tracker addresses these issues by integrating GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular triangulation, and Bluetooth gateway technology directly into a rugged, DOT-approved tail light housing that looks and functions like a standard light, making it virtually undetectable to would-be thieves.
The concealed design makes installation as easy as replacing a tail light. With a rechargeable backup battery and ultra-low power operation, the device delivers consistent location updates and on-demand pings when needed.
Beyond trailer location, the Tail Light Tracker functions as a Bluetooth Low Energy gateway, enabling fleets to monitor nearby BLE-enabled sensors and tags such as cargo sensors, door sensors, and tire pressure monitors. This expanded visibility helps fleets understand not only where a trailer is, but also what is happening with the assets and cargo it carries.
Built for real-world conditions, the Tail Light Tracker features a rugged IP67-rated housing, operates in extreme temperatures, and supports over-the-air configuration updates. Designed and manufactured in the United States, it reflects Pedigree Technologies’ commitment to durable, fleet-ready solutions that simplify deployment while delivering actionable intelligence.
“The Tail Light Tracker is purpose-built for fleets that need discreet, dependable trailer tracking without added complexity,” said Josh DeCock, VP of Product Management. “By combining concealment, multi-network location technology, and Bluetooth gateway capabilities, we’re giving customers a smarter way to protect trailers and the assets connected to them.”
