For dog owners who like to take their dogs outdoors or for dog owners who live in remote rural areas, having a reliable dog tracker is critical to keeping their dogs safe in these environments. As a popular tracking device, many dog owners choose to use AirTag to track their dogs, but in practice, AirTag’s tracking experience in remote rural areas has significant limitations, especially in places that lack a stable cellular signal.
1. Limitations of AirTag: Short Bluetooth Connection Distance, Large Dependence on Nearby iOS Devices
AirTag is a small tracker launched by Apple, which mainly relies on Bluetooth technology to connect with cell phones, and can also be located by nearby iOS devices when it is out of Bluetooth connection range. But the biggest problem with AirTag is that it can only connect to your phone and track in real time within a Bluetooth range of a few meters to a few dozen meters, beyond which it can’t provide real-time location information. While AirTag can indirectly track other iOS devices through their Find My Network, in this case it can only provide the location of the last iOS device to receive the AirTag signal, so this method relies heavily on having a large number of iOS devices nearby to act as repeaters.
In the city, due to the presence of a large number of iOS devices, even if the direct Bluetooth connection between the AirTag and the cell phone is disconnected, the AirTag can still transmit location information via nearby iOS devices, which makes tracking the dog via the AirTag more effective in an urban environment. However, in remote rural areas, due to sparsely populated areas, fewer nearby iOS devices, and due to the lack of stable cellular signals, the ability to track a dog using AirTag is greatly reduced when AirTag cannot rely on nearby iOS devices to transmit location information when the Bluetooth connection to the phone is disconnected. Typically in such environments, AirTag can only rely on short-range Bluetooth connections to provide dog owners with a few meters to a few dozen meters of tracking, which is a serious problem for dog owners who enjoy outdoor activities in these areas or who live in these areas. Therefore, according to Apple’s official statement, AirTag is not recommended for pet tracking, and its most suitable usage scenario is to find wallets, keys, and other items that can’t move on their own.
In contrast, the Aorkuler dog tracker is more suitable for dog owners who need to track their dogs in similar areas. So, let’s take a look at why the Aorkuler Dog Tracker is better suited than the AirTag for such scenarios.
- Aorkuler Can Track Dogs Over Long Distances in Areas Without Cellular Signals
Unlike Airtag, Aorkuler Dog Tracker does not rely on cellular signals or Bluetooth technology to transmit location information, instead it uses long range radio communication technology, in ideal outdoor environments. This allows the Aorkuler Dog Tracker to reliably track your dog even in places where cellular signals are spotty or completely absent, making it especially suitable for use in sparsely populated areas that lack stable cellular signals, such as mountains, forests, and remote rural areas.
In addition to this, the other designs of the Aorkuler Dog Tracker make it more suitable than the Airtag for dog tracking in remote rural areas.
- Real-time and accurate tracking
Unlike AirTag and other traditional dog trackers that rely on cellular signals to work, the Aorkuler Dog Tracker tracks your dog in real time through its own radio communication system, rather than a previously located position, which allows the owner to know the dog’s up-to-date location in real time. In outdoor areas, your dog is attracted to its surroundings and may often be out of sight of the dog owner, but the long-range real-time tracking technology of the Aorkuler Dog Tracker ensures that you can still get an up-to-date location of your dog at all times in such situations.
- E-compass technology
Unlike traditional dog trackers that rely on complex app maps to locate a dog, the Aorkuler Dog Tracker takes into account that cell phones may not be able to connect to the internet in remote rural areas and is equipped with innovative e-compass technology, which allows the device to work completely independently of cellular signals. Dog owners can quickly track their dog in real time by using the electronic compass on the handheld device, which displays direction and distance in real time. The experience is similar to that of Airtag when connected to a cell phone via Bluetooth, allowing you to find your dog’s real-time location without having to look at a complicated map interface, just by using simple navigation prompts. The location experience is much more intuitive and efficient.
- IP67 waterproof design
Unlike Airtag, which uses a button battery design, Aorkuler Dog Tracker uses an integrated lithium battery design that supports IP67 waterproofing. Whether it’s in the rain or the dog swims in a pond or a river, the Aorkuler can be effectively waterproofed to avoid damage to the device caused by the dog’s activities in a complex environment.
The Aorkuler dog tracker is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and dog owners living in remote rural areas, especially in areas such as mountainous or remote rural areas where cellular signals are unstable. Unlike Airtag, which relies on Bluetooth and iOS device overlays for location, the The Aorkuler Dog Tracker provides long range real-time radio tracking and innovative e-compass navigation to ensure your dog’s safety in a variety of environments, and on-demand tracking requires no subscription.
Choose Aorkuler Dog Tracker to say goodbye to signal-dead spots and keep track of your dog’s whereabouts, making every outdoor activity easier and more secure!
