Digital Matter

Digital Matter is a South African-founded IoT hardware company established in 2000 in Johannesburg, now headquartered in Perth, Australia, with additional offices in South Africa, North America and Europe. It designs low-power GPS and cellular tracking devices for logistics, fleet management, construction and agriculture businesses that need to monitor physical assets across long distances.

Its device lines – including Oyster, Remora, Yabby, Manta and the Hawk Pro data logger – cover battery, wired and OBD-II tracking with LTE-M, NB-IoT, 4G, LoRaWAN, Bluetooth and satellite connectivity options. Devices are distributed through roughly 1,500 channel partners in over 130 countries and integrate with third-party IoT platforms rather than a single proprietary cloud.

1. Battery-powered trackers: Oyster and Yabby lines built for long deployment life.

2. Wired and OBD-II trackers: Remora and vehicle-installed devices for continuous fleet monitoring.

3. Rugged outdoor tracking: Manta line designed for containers and heavy equipment.

4. Data loggers: Hawk Pro for temperature, humidity and sensor telemetry logging.

5. Multi-network connectivity: LTE-M, NB-IoT, 4G, LoRaWAN, Bluetooth and satellite options per device.

6. Open integration: devices connect to third-party IoT platforms via a channel-partner network.
