INTRODUCTION 

 

The Oyster2 is a compact, rugged GPS tracking device that has been designed for tracking containers, 
trailers, skip bins, and many other assets where super-long battery life is required without sacrificing the 

frequency of updates and performance. It’s a great choice where access to external power sources does 

not exist or is difficult to access, and the Oyster is very portable so it can be moved from asset to asset 
as required. This getting started guide is only for the Oyster 2 cellular version which comes in 2G or 4G 
Cat-M1/NB-IoT. 

See the product pag

 for more 

specifications. 

 

 

You will receive a compact box containing the Oyster2, 6 housing screws (in a small plastic bag inside the 
housing), and typically the SIM card will already be installed.
