Jamming detection
Detects repeated satellite loss and flags hostile interference instead of silently dropping out.
Private beta sign-up open
Hidden recovery hardware for the moment GPS stops helping
rftracker.eu is in private test phase for a hidden recovery system that detects interference, shifts to fallback positioning, and enables 433 MHz close-range guidance when thieves try to blind the device.

Core features
Built for real theft scenarios
The concept stays focused on signal resilience, compact hardware, and owner-controlled recovery rather than bloated feature claims.
02
Cell fallback
Uses cellular positioning when GPS precision weakens, keeping the search area alive.
03
433 MHz recovery mode
Activates a dedicated beacon for close-range finding once the owner is already nearby.
04
Low power logic
Long standby life built around sleep states, wake windows, and tightly managed reporting.
05
Compact hardware
A small PCB footprint designed to hide cleanly inside the vehicle without obvious install signatures.
06
Owner control
Clear states for dormancy, active tracking, and RF recovery instead of a black-box recovery flow.
Layered recovery
A stack designed for hostile signal conditions
The recovery flow progresses from broad visibility to fallback context to close-range RF guidance.

Layer 2
Cell fallback
Broader position context when precision weakens under hostile conditions.
Layer 3
433 MHz beacon
Final close-range recovery guidance when the vehicle is near but hidden.

Scale logic
The PCB stays visibly shorter than the key shell, so the size comparison reads in one glance without extra callouts.

How it works
From theft signal to close-range recovery
The homepage keeps the full recovery story visible: detect the problem, preserve context, then guide the owner during the final search.
Detect
Confirm the theft event and preserve the last reliable context before the vehicle disappears into noise.
Narrow
Use GPS and fallback positioning to compress the search area instead of restarting from zero.
Recover
Hand over to short-range RF guidance for the final blind-spot search inside dense structures.
1
Vehicle taken
The board stays hidden and keeps its low-power routine while the owner confirms the theft event.
2
Primary location
GPS and LTE-M establish the first movement trace and help define the search corridor.
3
Interference response
Repeated signal loss patterns trigger the anti-jam logic instead of leaving the device blind.
4
Local beacon phase
The 433 MHz layer supports the final close-range search when broad visibility is no longer enough.
5
Vehicle recovered
Short-range RF guidance helps pinpoint the vehicle in dense structures, garages, and blind spots.
Broad visibility first, then controlled escalation.
Anti-jam logic protects the search corridor when signal quality degrades.
433 MHz only takes over when the owner is already close enough to finish the search.

What the current beta direction is focused on
Tested for hostile conditions
The setup is aimed at theft scenarios where signals drop, routes change fast, and the vehicle is hidden on purpose.
Compact install footprint
The small board size keeps installation discreet and gives more flexibility when the unit has to stay unseen.
Private beta phase
The current phase focuses on field testing, fitment feedback, and recovery validation before wider rollout.
