A new dog tracker called Fi Ultra combines GPS, LTE, and Starlink satellite technology to keep tabs on your dog even when cell service drops, perfect for outdoor adventures.
- Automatically switches from LTE to Starlink satellite for constant tracking
- Waterproof, mud-proof design fits all dog sizes and withstands outdoor conditions
- Includes gentle sound and vibration recall to help bring dogs back
What happened
The Fi Ultra dog tracker has launched as the first consumer pet wearable to integrate T-Satellite support using Starlink, adding satellite connectivity to traditional GPS and mobile network tracking. This enables dog owners to locate their pets even when outside cellular coverage, such as in deep countryside or hiking areas.
Designed for rugged outdoor use, the Ultra is waterproof with a tough casing rated IP68/66K, fitting a wide range of collar and harness types. Its technology automatically switches between LTE and Starlink satellite to maintain a live signal, addressing a major limitation where trackers fail when there’s no cell signal.
Why it feels good
For many dog owners, the anxiety of losing track of their companion in areas without mobile signal is high. Fi Ultra’s satellite fallback brings newfound reassurance, allowing constant tracking beyond the reach of cell towers. This technology helps ease that heart-in-mouth panic if a pup darts off into remote terrain.
The device’s integrated Callback feature gently reminds dogs to return via sound and vibration cues without using electric shocks. Combined with geofencing alerts and escape notifications, it offers a compassionate and smart way to stay connected to your dog, enhancing safety while respecting their comfort.
What to enjoy or watch next
Currently, Fi Ultra is available for purchase in the United States (excluding Alaska) through Fi’s website, with an upfront cost plus annual subscription fees. Its battery can last up to five days depending on usage and combines well with other Fi trackers for comprehensive pet activity monitoring.
The next steps to watch include Fi expanding satellite tracking options, potential coverage beyond the U.S., and assessments of update speeds and real-world battery performance. Overall, the Ultra is a promising innovation for active dog owners seeking reliable off-grid tracking.
