Introducing the Solo Lite: The Tive Solo Lite is a real-time shipment tracking solution that reports location, temperature, light exposure, and motion while a shipment moves, across road, air, ocean, and rail. Use it once or reuse it. Built for cost-aware logistics and cold chain teams.
Cellular and WiFi geolocation provide accurate, real-time location data.
Condition Sensors Temperature Light
Temperature Accuracy ±0.5°C
Temperature sensors provide insight into your shipment’s environment.
Operating Temperature
-20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)
Light sensors indicate whether the shipment has been exposed to light (indicative of potential theft).

Committed to Sustainability
In cases where tracker return is possible, Tive’s Green Program encourages and rewards the return of single-use trackers to Tive for refurbishment and repurposing.
No Return Logistics to Manage
The Solo Lite can be used as a single-use tracker, so teams skip the collection and return step entirely. That suits last-mile deliveries and one-way lanes where recovering a tracker is difficult.
Passive temperature loggers are a useful low-cost option for meeting regulatory requirements, but they lack real-time connectivity and don’t track location.
Sensors that rely on a local hub or gateway to transmit data require the installation of a hub/gateway device on the vehicle, which is not an option for most shippers.
The Tive Solo Lite reports location and condition data in real time over cellular and WiFi, with no hub, gateway, or other infrastructure to install.

Questions
What is the Tive Solo Lite tracker?
The Solo Lite is a real-time tracker placed inside a shipment to record its location and condition while it moves, and to report that data while the shipment is still in transit rather than after it arrives. The Tive Solo Lite reports location, temperature, light exposure, and motion over cellular and WiFi. If you have found one inside a delivery, it belongs to the shipper who sent the load and it was tracking that shipment's conditions in transit.
How long does the Tive Solo Lite battery last?
Battery life of the Solo Lite trackers depends on how often it transmits, because more frequent reporting uses more power. The Solo Lite runs 30+ days at a 60 minute transmission interval, and 90+ days at a 6 hour interval for the non-lithium version. The lithium version runs 50+ days and 100+ days on the same intervals. Reporting intervals are configurable from 5 minutes to 24 hours, and can be changed while the shipment is in transit.
Can the Tive Solo Lite be reused?
Yes. The Solo Lite can be used as both a single-use tracker, which suits one-way lanes and last-mile deliveries where recovering a device is difficult, and as a reusable tracker within a circular supply chain. Tive's Green Program encourages and rewards the return of single-use trackers for refurbishment and recycling.
How do I recycle or return a Tive Solo Lite?
Electronic trackers should not be placed in general waste. They contain a battery, and should be handled through an electronics recycling route or returned to the manufacturer. Tive's Green Program accepts returned trackers for refurbishment and recycling, and rewards the return. If you have received a tracker inside a shipment, the shipper who sent the load can arrange the return or you can complete the Returns form on the Tive website.
What does a Tive Solo Lite cost?
Pricing for Solo Lite trackers varies, and Tive typically quotes against a shipment profile, lane volume, and configuration rather than publishing a unit price. To get a figure for your shipment profile, get started today or run the numbers with the ROI Calculator.
How do I activate a Tive Solo Lite?
Solo Lite trackers are activated before being placed inside a shipment, so recording begins at origin rather than mid-transit. To activate a tracker, simply press and hold the green Start button for 2-3 seconds, until the blue light blinks. Shipment configuration is handled in the Tive Platform, where transmission intervals and alert thresholds are set. Settings can be adjusted while the shipment is moving, using the device's bi-directional connectivity.
What sensors does the Tive Solo Lite contain?
Sensor coverage varies between Tive tracker models, and the right one depends on what a shipment is sensitive to. The Solo Lite measures temperature, light exposure, and motion, with temperature accuracy of plus or minus 0.5°C and a 3-point NIST traceable calibration certificate. Location comes from cellular triangulation and WiFi geolocation. For shipments that need humidity or shock monitoring, the Solo Pro and Solo 5G contain those sensors.
