The present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses of a highly sensitive and reliable IoT location tracking device in a form factor of a vehicle taillight. The tracking device replaces the existing taillight and comprises custom-designed GPS and Cellular antennae that are specially integrated with a novel dual-PCBA structure and an anti-theft tactile switch detection mechanism. The purposes of the new methods and apparatuses are to achieve the following: (1) improved reliability of signal reception and transmission with taillight integration; (2) improved electronic shielding of the processor board and PCB (printed circuit board) assembly; (3) high sensitivity of the new GPS and cellular antennae geometry and dimension design; (4) novel anti-theft security and better vehicle tracking management.
