LoneStar Tracking Empowers Rural America With Real-World GPS Solutions

From remote ranches to backroads job sites, LoneStar Tracking provides the GPS tech that keeps rural operations connected, protected, and productive.

While many tech companies focus on urban centers and big cities, LoneStar Tracking has quietly built a reputation for doing something different: solving real problems in rural America with rugged, practical, and highly effective GPS tracking technology.

From Texas ranches and backcountry work sites to rural counties preparing for fire or flood response, LoneStar Tracking’s devices are helping businesses and emergency crews operate smarter—far beyond the reach of cell towers.

“Our customers don’t work from glass buildings—they work from trailers, tractors, and remote hillsides,” said Thomas Remmert, CTO of LoneStar Tracking. “That’s who we build for.”

Building for the Places Other Tech Forgets
Rural operations have unique challenges: weak or no cellular coverage, harsh weather, wide-open geography, and valuable equipment spread across miles. Most GPS providers don’t design for these conditions—but LoneStar does.

The company’s product lineup includes:

  • Satellite GPS ear tags for cattle tracking in off-grid pastures
  • Solar-powered BLE gateways for wireless monitoring across remote ranches
  • Rugged fleet and trailer trackers with real-time alerts and backup batteries
  • Customizable emergency tracking kits for fire, flood, or search-and-rescue deployment

Each product is designed for low-power operation, long-range connectivity, and ease of use—critical for teams that are always on the move and often far from a WiFi signal.

Real Customers, Real Recoveries
LoneStar’s trackers aren’t just smart—they’re proven.

In recent months, customers have:

  • Recovered stolen trailers and skid steers within hours thanks to real-time GPS alerts
  • Tracked cattle away from a wildfire using LoneStar’s satellite ear tags
  • Helped local responders coordinate search crews during major Texas flooding
  • Monitored oilfield assets scattered across hundreds of acres with no cell service

“You don’t need a signal on your phone to know exactly where your gear or livestock is,” said Remmert. “That’s the kind of visibility that pays for itself.”

Empowering More Than Ranchers
While LoneStar started with agricultural customers, the company now serves a wide range of rural industries, including:

  • Construction and heavy equipment rental
  • Oil & gas operations in remote areas
  • Utility and co-op fleets
  • Volunteer fire departments and rural EMS
  • County emergency managers and rural sheriffs

These groups share a common need: to track vehicles, tools, livestock, or personnel in places where standard tech doesn’t work. LoneStar’s GPS devices and cloud platform fill that gap.

A Mission of Practical Innovation
LoneStar’s approach isn’t about flashy features—it’s about reliability, durability, and solving real-world problems. Every product decision is guided by the needs of field operators, ranchers, and responders who depend on their equipment daily.

“We don’t try to reinvent the wheel,” said Remmert. “We just make sure it can be tracked when it rolls off your job site at 2 a.m.”

Available Nationwide
All of LoneStar’s tracking solutions are available through www.lonestartracking.com, with free U.S.-based support and optional white-label/reseller partnerships for regional equipment dealers.

Whether it’s a single GPS tag for a cattle trailer or a fully mapped-out system for a 5,000-acre ranch, the company is committed to making modern tracking technology accessible for rural operations of all sizes.
