Key capabilities
Deep-freeze calibrated
−30 to +30 °C, calibrated at −30, +5 and +30 °C against a NIST-traceable standard.
Keeps reporting through frozen temperatures
Where the Saga-P Standard stops reporting below −20 °C, Saga Arctic reports in real time down to −30 °C and keeps logging down to −35 °C.
Flight-ready
Approved by 200+ airlines, IATA, FAA and EASA compliant, automatic flight mode.
Specifications
Built for frozen lanes down to −30 °C
Full specifications from the Saga Arctic datasheet, version 1, 20 March 2026.
Limited range
Between −35 and −30 °C the device still logs. Battery life is reduced, the display is not functional, and below −30 °C it stops reporting in real time.

Battery life
Set the wake-up interval, read the days
A fully charged device on the interval shown reports in real time and raises alarms for at least this long while monitoring a shipment inside its operating range. Below 5% charge it hibernates: it keeps logging to memory and stops reporting until recharged.
| Wake-up interval | 1200 mAh |
|---|---|
| 1 hour | 10 days |
| 2 hours | 17 days |
| 3 hours | 22 days |
| 6 hours | 37 days |
| 12 hours | 55 days |
| 24 hours | over 55 days |
Built for the deep freeze
High-value frozen medicines need monitoring that works reliably at −30 °C. Saga Arctic brings real-time visibility to the deep-freeze range without sacrificing connectivity or compliance, on short to medium-haul lanes.
Battery life on a frozen lane
Saga Arctic carries a 1200 mAh battery: up to 55 days at a 12-hour wake-up interval, which fits the shorter shipments frozen lanes typically run. An excursion wakes the device regardless of the schedule, and below −30 °C, where it stops reporting, it keeps logging to internal memory.
Device management is handled
Return logistics, calibration, and servicing are ours to run. You get maximum reuse and a circular model without adding a device operation to your own team.
Questions about Saga Arctic
What range does Saga Arctic cover?
−30 to +30 °C, calibrated at −30, +5 and +30 °C. It is accurate to ±1 °C from −30 to −10 °C, where it does most of its work, ±0.5 °C from −10 to +10 °C, and ±1 °C above that. It reports in real time down to −30 °C. Between −35 and −30 °C it still logs, with reduced battery life and no display, but stops reporting.
Why does Saga Arctic run for fewer days than the Saga-P Standard?
It carries a 1200 mAh battery rather than the 2500 mAh battery in the rest of the family: 10 days at a 1-hour wake interval and over 55 days at 24 hours.
Does Saga Arctic use a probe?
No. Saga Arctic sits with the product inside the shipment and measures the temperature right where the product is, down to −30 °C.
