We tested the IoT data tracking device Trusted T7 RHTP by sending it to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. The results reveal an impressive set of data from Africa’s highest mountain.
Track Data Anywhere with Data Logger Functionality
The expedition route was tracked by the device’s internal GPS sensor. Yellow markings on the map show its exact location.
On the Trusted Data Portal, yellow indicates data stored internally as a log. This feature means the device works even without network coverage. It stores all data safely and transmits it later when coverage returns.
As a result, you can track data anywhere—even on one of the tallest mountains in the world.
Analyzing the Data Provides Unique Insights
Each log contains more than GPS coordinates. It includes readings from all built-in sensors.
The T7 RHTP offers advanced features, including sensors for relative humidity, temperature, and air pressure. These conditions made Kilimanjaro an ideal test environment.
Temperature
Before the climb, temperatures reached 32.5°C during the day and dropped to 9.8°C at night. At the summit, early on September 20, the sensor recorded -8.6°C.
Relative humidity
The device measured humidity when exposed to the summit air. Levels dropped to just 24%, confirming the dry conditions.
Air pressure
Meanwhile, air pressure also had a clear trend downwards, hitting its lowest point at 50.116 hPA.
This is approximately half the air pressure of what is normal at sea level, so participants in the expedition would be excused if feeling a little out of breath because oxygen levels are much lower in these conditions.
How IoT data tracking features is used in business cases
Posing to the camera, you would think this lucky T7 RHTP device was simply enjoying its time in the sun.
But from the data above, we now know that IoT data tracking devices are always hard at work with monitoring the environment around them.
This is also the case for the thousands of devices around the globe that make up the data tracking solutions in use by businesses across industries.
- Position data is used by managers in logistics and construction to follow the position of non-powered trailers, containers, or transport frames around the world.
- Relative humidity data is also an important metric tracked by many in order to protect assets from condensation and ultimately corrosion or build-up of mold.
- Temperature and air pressure data along with impact and humidity data is essential to others as these readings secure compliance data to their sensitive freight, such as electronics, advanced engines, medicine, or food.
