Many American households with dogs live in rural areas. However, there are few cellular base stations in rural areas. The pet owners can’t use the tracking devices that require cellular networks.
Yet most of the pet trackers on the market require cellular signals. This results in pet owners in rural areas not being able to track their dog’s location.
Is there a pet tracker that can track your dog in real-time in rural areas? The answer is there is. We recently found a pet tracker on the market that uses radio technology to transmit data – the Aorkuler.
Aorkuler Pet Tracker
There are two types of GPS pet trackers on the market. One type consists of GPS and a cellular network. The other type consists of GPS and radio technology.
In rural areas, cellular signals are poor. The first type of pet tracker relies on the cellular network to transmit data. When the cellular signal is weak near the dog or the pet owner, the tracker cannot transmit data. The pet owner also can’t check the location of the dog in real-time on the mobile app.
Aorkuler pet tracker belongs to the second type. It utilizes radio technology to transmit information about the dog’s location. Pet owners can view the direction and distance of their dog on the controller’s screen.
It works independently of the strength of the cellular signal. So, pet owners living in rural areas don’t have to worry about the device not being able to track their dog in real time when using it.
Advantages of Aorkuler Pet Tracker
1. No Subscription Fee
Aorkuler GPS pet tracker does not use a phone service. So, pet owners don’t need to pay a monthly subscription fee to a cellular carrier after purchasing it. This reduces the financial burden on pet owners.
2. Use of Controller
Aorkuler product uses a tracker and controller. Pet owners don’t need to download a cell phone app to use it.
Its controller has two display modes. When the dog is in the vicinity of the pet owner, the controller’s screen displays “nearby”. When the dog is far away from the pet owner, the controller screen shows the specific direction of the dog.
Even if the pet owner is not familiar with the environment, you can quickly find the dog via E-compass mode.
3. Waterproof
Dogs are active by nature and like to play in places with water. If the dog wears a pet tracker that is not waterproof, when the dog falls into the water, the pet owner can’t get the dog’s location information.
Aorkuler pet tracker is IP67 waterproof, so it can work normally even if the dog falls into a puddle. Pet owners who wear this pet tracker for their dogs can reduce the worry about their dogs going out.
4. Sound and Night Flash
This product features sound and night flash. It can help pet owners to find their dogs.
When the controller shows that the dog is near the owner but does not appear, the user can turn on the sound function. Then find the location of the dog according to the sound from the tracker.
If it is in the case of poor vision, the pet owner can use the night flash function. Then find the location of the dog according to the light from the tracker.
5. Real-time Tracking
Aorkuler can update the dog’s location in an almost instant way, and it is quickly displayed on the controller through point-to-point radio transmission. There is no need for a cellular network coverage, and there is no need to endure slow updates caused by weak cellular signals.
Disadvantages of Aorkuler Pet Tracker
1.No Function to Monitor Dog’s Activity Data
Most of the pet trackers on the market that use cellular networks include the function of monitoring the dog’s activity data. Pet owners can check the change in their dog’s activity data on the mobile app. But Aorkuler doesn’t have this function.
2. No E-Fence Function
Some pet owners will set up an activity range for their dogs. When the dog runs out of the activity range, the pet owner will receive a prompt. But Aorkuler pet tracker doesn’t have this feature either.
Summary
Aorkuler pet tracker doesn’t use cellular networks, making it easy to use for users who live in rural areas. It can track your dog’s location in real-time, reducing the risk of losing your dog.
But it doesn’t have an e-fence, activity monitoring feature. Pet owners living in rural areas can choose whether to buy this pet tracker or not depending on their needs.
