Selected and tested on hundreds of events, our two technologies complement each other to cover every terrain.
Looking for a reliable, high-performance solution to keep your race safe and give your spectators a unique show? Owaka has specialised in tracking outdoor sports events since 2013. Thanks to our long-standing expertise and constant investment in research and development (R&D), we design live GPS tracking solutions unique on the market. Whether you run an intimate gathering of fewer than 50 participants or an international mass race, we give every organiser access to the best live tracking technology.
With Europe's largest fleet of rental GPS trackers, over 7,000 units available, Owaka is the partner of organisers who want to follow every participant from start to finish. We prepare, configure and ship the trackers for your event, and our team stays reachable throughout the race.
GSM GPS tracker - Worldwide multi-carrier mobile
The location, the type of outdoor sport and the number of participants directly shape the choice of the right tracker.
For rally-raids and adventure raids in remote areas (Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Saudi Arabia), keep your competitors safe with rental satellite GPS trackers. On regularity stages, live rankings and checkpoint validation rely on the GPRS tracker wherever the network allows.
For motorbike rides and enduro races in France or Europe with good network coverage, the GPRS GPS tracker is ideal: it provides regular tracking, alert handling, checkpoint validation and live rankings. Off the network, the satellite tracker takes over.
For cycling, gravel, mountain bike and road sportive events, the GPRS GPS tracker offers ultra-precise real-time tracking. Whether your race is non-stop (bikepacking, ultra-distance) or in stages, we adapt the position interval to last the whole race.
For orienteering treks in covered areas, the GSM / GPRS GPS tracker is ideal to instantly validate the checkpoints (CP) and field markers reached by participants. If your race goes through high mountains or the desert, the satellite tracker keeps tracking off the network.
For trails and ultra-trails, Owaka adapts to the profile of your race. Over distances under 100 km on flat ground with good network coverage, the GPRS GPS tracker offers ideal live tracking. For ultra-trails over 100 km crossing mountains without network, the satellite tracker provides continuous tracking and several days of battery life.
For adventure raids, triathlons and multisport events, the choice of tracker depends on the duration and geography of the race. In urban or suburban areas, GSM GPS tracking offers responsive and precise live tracking; in the wild or over several days, the satellite tracker provides worldwide coverage.
If the course stays within mobile coverage, the GPRS tracker is enough and offers very precise tracking. As soon as some sections go off the network (high valleys, remote ridges), the satellite tracker makes sure every position comes through, whatever the terrain.
The satellite tracker: it sends its positions by satellite, without relying on any mobile network. It is the reference tracker for rally-raids and desert races, from Morocco to Saudi Arabia.
The GPRS tracker lasts up to 36 hours with one position per minute, the satellite tracker up to 120 hours with one position every 5 minutes. Actual battery life depends on the chosen interval: we set it with you according to the length of your race.
Yes. The battery level of each tracker is reported to the private platform along with its positions, so your team can plan a tracker swap before it runs out.
Yes. The position interval is adjusted remotely according to the area crossed (geofencing), without collecting the trackers: more frequent on key sections, less frequent elsewhere to save battery.
Yes. In 30 minutes, our team reviews your course, your discipline and your number of participants, then recommends the right tracker and configuration. Just request a free demo.
