Houston, TX — January 13, 2026 — Bloodhound Tracking Device (BTD) today announced the launch of BTD Tracker 1™, a next-generation, covert container tracking and security solution designed for the global container market, and priced to compete with the leaders in Cell/GPS tracking. Built from the ground up to overcome the real-world limitations of existing tracking systems, Tracker 1 delivers unmatched reliability, security, and lifecycle value across all intermodal operations.
Tracker 1 exceeds legacy and first-generation container tracking solutions from current providers, offering a fully self-contained, always-on device with exceptional battery life, engineered for the harshest global shipping environments.
Tracker 1 was designed for containers, not adapted for them. Tracker 1 eliminates the compromises shippers are forced to accept: unreliable connectivity, complex installs, short battery life, and disposable hardware. Tracker 1 is built to work everywhere, last for years, and protect cargo without interruptions.
