Farm GPS Tracker for the UK — No Subscription, No SIM
Track livestock, tractors, and equipment across British countryside without a monthly fee or mobile signal.
Most GPS trackers sold in the UK rely on mobile networks. They work fine in towns, but the moment you head into the Scottish Highlands, Welsh valleys, Lake District, 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.

Cattle & Sheep Tracking
Monitor livestock across large UK pastures and hill farms. One receiver covers an entire property with no infrastructure needed. Ideal for Scottish Highlands, Welsh mountains, and English moorland.

Track tractors, ATVs, harvesters, and trailers across large properties. Useful for both location management and theft deterrence on rural UK farms.
Farm Dogs & Working Animals
Track working dogs across farms, shoots, and training fields. No subscription per dog — track your entire pack for one upfront cost.
Large Estates & Grounds
Keep staff, vehicles, and animals visible on an offline map across multi-day operations on large UK estates with no phone coverage.
UK Regulations & Compatibility
Loko operates on the 868 MHz ISM band, which is licence-free in the UK under Ofcom regulations. No radio licence is required to own or operate the device.
The device complies with UKCA and CE marking requirements. It ships to the UK with no import restrictions.
Unlike cellular trackers, Loko has no roaming charges, no UK carrier dependency, and works identically whether you are in Cornwall, the Shetland Islands, Dartmoor, or the Cairngorms.

Questions UK Farmers Ask About Off-Grid GPS Tracking
Can you track livestock in the UK without internet or cell service?
Yes. Loko GPS Tracker uses LoRa radio to transmit location data directly from the animal to a handheld receiver — no internet, no SIM card, no cellular network required. It works in UK pastures, forests, hills, and remote fields where there is no coverage.
How far does a farm GPS tracker work in the UK countryside?
Loko works up to 20+ km in open UK farmland using LoRa radio on the 868 MHz band. On hilly or wooded terrain, the practical range is 2–5 km, which covers most farms and large pastures comfortably.
What is the best GPS tracker for UK livestock with no cell service?
Loko GPS Tracker is purpose-built for off-grid tracking in the UK. It weighs only 14 grams, lasts up to 1 year on battery, requires no SIM card, and uses LoRa radio to transmit GPS positions across large distances without any network infrastructure.
Does a UK farm GPS tracker require a monthly subscription?
No. Loko has no monthly fee, no SIM card cost, and no recurring subscription. You pay once for the hardware and track indefinitely. This makes it ideal for UK farmers managing multiple animals or pieces of equipment.
