The Vodafone Smart Tracker, built on the Vodafone IoT Platform, was designed to help users find and track their most important belongings locally and globally. The dedicated app was developed in-house by Vodafone is available to download on both Android or IOS devices.
The system is lightweight, easy to carry and comes with a built-in SIM, connecting all the time users are on the move, said Vodafone.

The Smart Tracker’s versatility means that users can keep track of their items not only in Qatar, but also while traveling in more than 155 countries.
“We are excited to enhance our product portfolio with an [innovation] which makes our customers’ lives easier and more comfortable than ever before,” said Diego Camberos, Chief Operating Officer at Vodafone Qatar, “our research has demonstrated just how important it is to create a versatile product that allows users to keep track of their belongings and stay connected to what matters most, and our IoT Platform has enabled us to respond to the clear consumer demand.” This launch is the first in a series of new smart products that Vodafone Qatar has promised to unveil in coming months.
