Location and activity tracking – BLE wearable dog tracker from PitPat
PitPat® is a fast-growing pet wellness company based in Cambridge, UK. Their Dog Care Platform® helps pet parents keep their dogs happy, healthy and safe with subscription-free wearables (activity monitor / GPS tracker), nutrition (weighing bowl / portioned food), insurance (linked to activity) and treatments (data-driven recommendations).
Dog Activity Monitor
The IP67 rated, waterproof Dog Activity Monitor weighs only 16g, measures 34 x 32 x 15 mm, and easily attaches to a dog's collar. An integrated 3-axis accelerometer tracks the dog's movement throughout the day, and the proprietary algorithms interpret this data to identify five specific activity states—walking, running, playing, pottering, and resting—and how long the dog spends in each state. Using the step and exertion data, the device can estimate the distance covered by the dog has walked and the number of calories burned.
Dog GPS Tracker
The PitPat® GPS Tracker tracks your dog's locations on a map and includes the same features as the Activity Monitor does. Find your dog no matter how far away he is. Live location updates are sent every few seconds. The dog finder on the app pointing out the way you need to go forward. Nordic's low power solutions have been instrumental in achieving PitPat's industry-leading battery life. The Dog Activity Monitor can run for several years on a single CR2032 coincell, and the Dog GPS Tracker has a battery life of weeks, not days. The small footprint has also allowed to develop miniature solutions that are suitable for even the smallest dog.
The nRF52810 System-on-Chip (SoC) is a base member of the nRF52 series. It meets the challenge of bringing advanced Bluetooth LE features and protocol concurrency to applications at a price point that makes adding Bluetooth LE connectivity to an application compelling. It is an ideal candidate for less complex applications and also as a Bluetooth LE connectivity processor in larger applications.
The nRF9160 is a compact, highly integrated System-in-Package (SiP) that makes the latest low-power LTE technology and advanced processing and security accessible, and easy to use for a wide range of single device low-power cellular IoT designs. Incorporating an Arm Cortex-M33 application-only processor, a full LTE modem, RF Front End (RFFE), and power management system. The nRF9160 is the most compact, complete, and energy-efficient cellular IoT solution on the market.

The nRF54L15 DK is the development kit for all three wireless SoC (System-on-Chip) options in the nRF54L Series. The nRF54L15 sits on the development board, while the nRF54L10 and nRF54L05 can be emulated. The affordable single-board development kit makes all features of the wireless SoC available to the developer.
The nPM1300 Evaluation Kit allows for simple evaluation and code-free configuration of the nPM1300 Power Management IC (PMIC). By connecting to the nPM PowerUP app found in nRF Connect for Desktop, all settings of the nPM1300 can easily be configured through an intuitive GUI and exported as code to be implemented in your MCUs application.
The nRF7002 DK is the development kit for the nRF7002, and nRF7001 Wi-Fi 6 Companion ICs. It contains everything needed to get started developing on a single board. The DK features an nRF5340 multiprotocol System-on-Chip (SoC) as a host processor for the nRF7002.
The Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2) is a standalone unit, which can measure and optionally supply currents all the way from sub-uA and as high as 1A on all Nordic DKs, in addition to external hardware.
The Nordic Thingy:53™ is an easy-to-use IoT prototyping platform. It makes it possible to create prototypes and proofs-of-concept without building custom hardware. The Thingy:53 is built around the nRF5340 SoC, our flagship dual-core wireless SoC. The processing power and memory size of its dual Arm Cortex-M33 processors enables it to run embedded machine learning (ML) models directly on the device.
The Nordic Thingy:91 X is a battery-operated prototyping platform for cellular IoT based on the nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP) supporting LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS and NR+, and certified for global operation. It is the ideal platform for rapidly developing a prototype for any cellular IoT concept, and is especially suited for asset-tracking applications. Nordic Thingy:91 X enables location tracking using cellular (MCELL and SCELL), Wi-Fi, or GNSS, in combination with nRF Cloud Location Services.
The nRF9151 DK is an affordable, pre-certified single board development kit for evaluation and development on the nRF9151 System-in-Package (SiP) for LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS and DECT NR+. It has a dedicated LTE-M, NB-IoT and DECT NR+ antenna that supports a wide range of bands to operate globally.
