Freematics ONE+ Revamped: All-Black PCB and Added Shielding
Freematics ONE+ is getting a hardware refresh with an all-black PCB and additional metal shielding. A practical refinement, with a sharper industrial look. New version starts to ship from Jan 2027.
Why Band 28 Matters in Australia
Band 28 is a low-frequency LTE band (700 MHz) widely deployed by Australian carriers.
From a radio perspective:
- Lower frequency → longer range
- Lower frequency → better penetration through walls and terrain
It forms the coverage layer of LTE networks.
If a tracking device doesn’t support Band 28, it will eventually lose connectivity in Australia – which has enormous regional/rural areas as well as incredibly long and deep tunnels like those under metropolitan Sydney. That’s why Freematics ONE+ now ships with SIM7670 (B28 supported) for reliable Australia deployments.
Happy Australia Day
Please excuse us for taking a break and getting away for the last bit of summer. We will be happily processing your orders from 29 Jan.
US import tariff to be prepaid on shipping
The United States announced significant changes to its import tariff rules in US Executive Order 14324. These changes, impact business customers shipping items from Australia to the US and created chaos. To avoid shipment delays and returns due to customers not responding to import duty payment requests from shipping carriers, we will prepay the import tariff for all shipments to the US, and will increase US shipping fee to cover some of the cost. Shipping fees for all other countries remain unchanged.
