Livestock GPS Tracker
Local GPS tracking for farms and ranches without per-animal cellular fees.
Livestock tracking becomes expensive when every animal needs a cellular subscription. A small monthly fee multiplied across a herd can become a major operating cost.
Loko uses GPS plus LoRa radio for local farm tracking. It is designed for situations where you want to find animals, equipment, or field assets across your own property without paying a carrier for every tracker.

Why Subscription Costs Matter on Farms
The economics of livestock tracking are different from tracking one pet. Ten, twenty, or fifty devices can turn a small monthly plan into a large recurring bill.
A no-subscription model gives farms more predictable cost, especially for seasonal or intermittent tracking needs.
How LoRa Fits Farm Land
LoRa radio performs best across open land with good antenna placement. That makes it a practical fit for many farms, ranches, vineyards, orchards, and rural properties.
Real-world range depends on hills, vegetation, buildings, antenna height, and local radio conditions. Field testing on your property is the best way to validate coverage.
Farm Assets Beyond Animals
The same local tracking model can help locate trailers, irrigation equipment, tractors, tools, gates, and temporary field assets.
A single receiver-based workflow can support many practical farm recovery and monitoring jobs without cellular bills.
