Chinese IoT provider Queclink Wireless has launched its first satellite-enabled vehicle tracker for applications that demand high levels of connectivity in remote and isolated locations.

The GV75MG Sat unit has been designed to operate in harsh environments, where cellular networks are unreliable or unavailable, to deliver security, driver safety and transportation management.

“Freight and logistics businesses face damaging communication gaps and delayed reporting when vehicles are operating in areas beyond cellular coverage,” said Chris Diaz, director of business development at Queclink Wireless (www.queclink.com). “Our satellite-enabled telematics device will provide uninterrupted, real-time tracking to help mitigate the impact of efficiency, safety and cost risks. This added control and peace of mind will enable commercial fleet operators to protect and coordinate vehicles, assets and staff, wherever they are.”

The GV75MG Sat supports Cat M1 and NTN (non-terrestrial network) IoT communications, providing dual-mode tracking that combines cellular and satellite networks.

Bluetooth LE connectivity and RS232 support means the easy-to-install tracking unit can connect with a range of Bluetooth beacons, temperature and door sensors, and other peripheral devices for richer telemetry and data capture. It also features an IP67-rated waterproof design and a voltage range of 9 to 90V DC for stable and reliable performance in various operating conditions.

“We are committed to developing the widest range of fleet, asset and video telematics hardware to meet diverse needs of vehicle operators worldwide,” said Diaz. “The GV75MG Sat will be suitable for various fleet, road transport and shipping applications, building on our proven technology to deliver advanced connectivity and tracking capabilities.”
