At the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), SpotOn introduced the Nova Edition, its newest GPS dog collar and virtual fence system. The launch drew attention from national technology and news outlets covering emerging products at one of the world’s largest consumer tech events.

CES brings together thousands of exhibitors each year, showcasing new technologies across consumer electronics, AI, mobility, and smart devices. Among this year’s product coverage, SpotOn Nova was included in several roundups highlighting noteworthy innovations from the show.

SpotOn Nova Named a Top Pick at CES 2026

USA TODAY included SpotOn GPS Fence Nova Edition in its Top 50 Products of CES 2026, a curated list featuring products across consumer technology categories.

The recognition appeared in USA TODAY and was picked up by outlets including the Detroit Free Press, MSN, Yahoo, and Yahoo News Canada. Coverage highlighted Nova’s satellite-based GPS design, subscription-free model, and ability to create customizable virtual boundaries without installing physical fencing.

CES Coverage Highlights Accuracy and Real-World Use

Nova was also featured in televised CES coverage, where technology journalists demonstrated how the system works in everyday scenarios—from large properties to travel and outdoor use.

During a Fox & Friends segment filmed at CES, tech journalist Kurt “The CyberGuy” Knutsson introduced Nova as a GPS dog fence built directly into the collar, explaining how owners can set virtual boundaries through the SpotOn app. In the segment, Knutsson noted that early testing showed strong accuracy performance.

"This dog wears a subscription-free GPS collar that communicates with satellites… You set virtual boundaries using the SpotOn app."

Built for Challenging Environments

Nova builds on SpotOn’s existing GPS fence technology with a redesigned collar and upgraded antenna system. The Nova collar uses a dual-band, dual-feed active GPS antenna and receiver, allowing it to connect to more satellites and maintain reliable positioning in areas where GPS can be challenging—such as wooded terrain or large rural properties.

Additional features highlighted during CES coverage include:

- Customizable virtual containment areas
- Audio, vibration, and voice-based boundary alerts
- LED prompts on the collar
- Real-time location tracking if a boundary is crossed

Together, these features are designed to give dog owners greater control without relying on physical fences or monthly subscriptions.

Available Now in the U.S. and Canada

SpotOn GPS Fence Nova Edition is now available in the United States and Canada. The system is designed for dog owners looking for flexible containment options at home, while traveling, or across large properties.
