Tack One, the company behind it, is also a homegrown Singaporean brand. Made of a hard-shell plastic enclosure, the TackGPS Plus is about the size of a car key fob. It is weather-proof, so a little rain wouldn’t hurt it, but there’s no information on IP rating, so I’d avoid dunking it in water. It’s also considered lightweight at only 30g, but still comparatively heavier and bulkier than an Apple AirTag (11g).
Compared to an Apple AirTag, which only relies on Bluetooth detection by nearby devices in Apple's closed Find My network, the TackGPS Plus has al built-in SIM with LTE-M1 and NB-IOT support, in addition to GPS and Wi-Fi location capabilities.
These low-power, wide-area network technologies offer exceptional coverage for the TackGPS Plus regardless of where it is. Out of the box, you get 30-days free connectivity, after which you'd need to subscribe to the Tack Connect service.
There are two subscription plans to choose from: Standard or Premium. Both offer global roaming in more than 120 countries with unlimited location updates.
The difference is faster update intervals and longer location history storage for the Premium plan.
According to the company, TackGPS Plus is accurate up to 3 5m for outdoor GPS, 10 30m for indoor Wi-Fi positioning, and 100 - 250m for cell tower triangulation.
