GPS Tracker for the UK — No Subscription, No SIM
Track anything across British countryside, farms, and remote areas without a monthly fee or mobile signal.
Most GPS trackers sold in the UK rely on mobile networks. They work fine in cities, but the moment you head into the Scottish Highlands, Welsh valleys, or remote farmland, the signal drops and so does your tracker.
Loko is different. It uses LoRa radio on the 868 MHz band — the same licence-free frequency used across the UK and EU — to transmit GPS positions directly to your handheld receiver. No SIM card, no monthly contract, no mobile coverage needed.

Unlike cellular trackers, Loko has no roaming charges, no UK network dependency, and works identically whether you are in Cornwall or the Shetland Islands.
