CalAmp Releases New iOn Xtreme Temperature Tag to Monitor Pharmaceutical and Biological Shipments. New iOn™ Xtreme Temperature Tag, the newest smart sensor tag addition to the iOn Tag product family. The smart sensor tag can pair with a thermocouple probe to monitor the environmental temperatures of assets in conditions as low as -270 and up to 400 degrees Celsius, making the device ideal for tracking and monitoring shipments of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, biological materials and liquid nitrogen.

When affixed to an asset or container, the tag captures proximity location and ambient temperature readings at a user-defined logging rate which is easily configurable from an intuitive user interface. It then transmits that data via proprietary Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signal to CalAmp SC iOn™ gateway devices—from the time the asset is in the warehouse, through transport by land, sea or air, until it reaches its final destination. https://investor.calamp.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2021/CalAmp-Releases-New-iOn-Xtreme-Temperature-Tag-to-Monitor-Pharmaceutical-and-Biological-Shipments/default.aspx
