RangerPost · Privacy-first presence
Know when your vehicles are here.Not where they go.
RangerPost detects when vehicles and assets check in at your company locations using simple local LoRa radio. No GPS. No SIM. No continuous tracking. Plug one small USB tag into each vehicle and place a gateway at each post you want to recognise.

Installation
Installation takes seconds.
The vehicle device is a small USB-powered LoRa tag. Plug it into any available USB socket. That is the entire installation.
Plug the device into any available USB port in the vehicle.
Install a gateway at the site you want to monitor.
Locations
- Main Depot12 on site

View real-time presence at each location. No tracking, just presence.
Privacy by design
No GPS. No personal data. No route history.
Secure & local
Data stays local. You control who sees what.
Fast & simple
Install in minutes. Scale in hours.
Built for fleets
From small businesses to large multi-site operations.
No technician. No wiring. No SIM activation. No vehicle modification.
Power only when needed
The tag sleeps when the vehicle does.
The tag draws power from the vehicle USB socket. When the ignition goes off, the tag switches off too — no battery drain, no permanent transmission, no separate charging.
RangerPost remembers the last confirmed post instead of instantly declaring the vehicle away. A van that shut down inside the Main Depot stays represented as parked there.

The simple question
Do you really need to know where the vehicle is?

Presence only
Sometimes “here, there or away” is all you need.
How it works
Three parts. One question answered.
Step 01
RangerPost USB Tag
Plugged into a USB socket in the vehicle, the tag broadcasts a secure local presence signal whenever the vehicle has power. No GPS. No mobile data. No SIM.
Step 02
RangerPost Gateway
Installed at a company location, the gateway listens for nearby tags and connects over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Only the gateway needs internet access — and each one becomes another RangerPost.
Step 03
RangerPost Platform
Which asset is present, at which post, when it arrived and when it left. Delivered as a dashboard, Telegram alerts, API and webhooks. Not a map.

Multiple posts
One fleet. Multiple posts.
Each gateway is a RangerPost — a trusted post your fleet can check in at. Add one wherever “here” matters to your business — the vehicle tag never changes.

Need another location? Add another gateway.
A new post needs only a RangerPost Gateway, power, and Wi-Fi or Ethernet. No GPS. No cellular network in the vehicle. Start with one location and expand whenever the business does.
What happens between bases?
We don't know.
And that's intentional.
RangerPost knows when a vehicle leaves one post and when it reaches another. It does not follow the journey in between.
Company visibility without journey surveillance.
?
No location data collected
Notice something missing?
There is no live vehicle map.
RangerPost isn't designed to follow employees through cities or reconstruct journeys. It only recognises assets when they check in at a trusted post.
That's not a missing feature. That's the feature.
Privacy
Privacy by architecture, not policy.
Traditional tracking systems collect detailed location information and then promise to protect it. RangerPost takes a different approach: it avoids collecting unnecessary location data in the first place.
No GPS
The vehicle does not continuously calculate or report its geographic location.
No SIM
Vehicle tags do not require cellular subscriptions.
No route history
RangerPost cannot reconstruct where a vehicle travelled.
No driver surveillance
The system only detects whether an asset is within the company's local presence zone.
The safest location data is the location data you never collected.
Presence zone
A presence zone, not a GPS geofence.
RangerPost uses local LoRa radio coverage to determine whether an asset is within the operational area. Buildings, antennas and terrain naturally affect radio coverage, so the system works with reliable presence rather than pretending to offer metre-perfect positioning.
Configurable detection rules and signal hysteresis prevent false arrival and departure events.
Gateway
Main depot
Business value
Useful information without unnecessary surveillance.
Fleet availability
42 of 57 vehicles currently on site.
Automatic arrival history
Know when vehicles return without manual check-in.
Departure detection
Automatically record when vehicles leave the premises.
Missing vehicle alerts
Know when an expected asset has not returned.
Night movement
Alert security when a vehicle leaves outside permitted hours.
Idle assets
Identify vehicles or equipment that have remained on site unusually long.
Not only vehicles
If it can carry a tag, RangerPost can know if it's there.
Use case · Service fleet
For companies that need fleet visibility — not employee visibility.
A maintenance company operates 60 vans. Management needs to know which vans are available, which have left, which have returned, and which haven't returned by the end of the day. RangerPost answers those questions without monitoring where technicians go between departure and return.

Use case · Construction
Know which equipment is on site.
Attach RangerPost tags to generators, trailers, excavators or mobile equipment. The dashboard becomes a live presence inventory.

Comparison
Where is it? versus is it here?
Hardware
One tiny tag. One simple gateway.
RangerPost Vehicle Tag
- USB powered
- LoRa
- Secure ID
- No GPS
- No SIM
Plug it into the vehicle. Done.
RangerPost Gateway
- LoRa receiver
- Wi-Fi / Ethernet
- Local processing
- Multiple vehicle support
Add a gateway wherever you need another RangerPost.
Architecture
One radio hop. One secure uplink.
Tags speak LoRa to the gateway. The gateway speaks to your server. Everything downstream — dashboard, alerts, API, webhooks — works from presence events, not coordinates.

Deployment
Start with one post. Add another whenever you need it.

Your company can know the van reached the warehouse.
It doesn't need to know where the driver stopped on the way.
Philosophy
Know enough.
Modern connected systems are often designed to collect the maximum amount of data available. RangerPost starts with a different question: what is the minimum amount of information required to solve the business problem? The name is the product — it reports when an asset checks in at a post. It does not follow the road in between.
If the question is “is the vehicle available at the depot?”, then thousands of GPS coordinates may be unnecessary.
Not less information than you need.
Not more information than you need.
Just enough.
Pilot programme
Could your company use RangerPost?
We are exploring pilot deployments with companies that manage vehicles, equipment or mobile assets. If you want to test whether privacy-first presence tracking can simplify your operations, we'd like to hear from you.
Know when your vehicles are here, there, or away. Never where they go.
