What Makes It Special

Unlike standard trackers, Trace XR relies entirely on LoRa mesh rather than cellular or Wi-Fi, eliminating recurring fees or SIM cards. The upgraded external antenna gives it extended reach, 3 to 5 miles under favorable conditions, doubling the typical range of the base Trace model. It updates every 30 seconds, providing near-real-time tracking for team coordination or K9 tracking. With IPX5 weather resistance and rugged housing, Trace XR is designed to withstand demanding tactical and outdoor conditions.

Who It’s For

The Spec5 Trace XR is made for users who need dependable, off-grid tracking when other systems can’t reach. Service dog handlers can mount it to collars for reliable location updates in remote areas. Search & rescue teams can monitor team members deep in the field without cell towers. Expedition crews, remote operations, and tactical teams will appreciate its extended-range coverage, durability, and subscription-free operation. Wherever visibility matters in isolation, Trace XR keeps your assets and personnel tracked reliably.
