GPS Trackers & Telematics

Connected asset data beyond simple location

Overview

What is GPS Trackers & Telematics?

GPS trackers and telematics devices combine GNSS positioning with additional data collection, such as ignition status, operating hours, voltage, and supported vehicle or sensor inputs. Depending on the selected model, devices may also support BLE peripherals or wired sensors.

They are suitable for solution providers that need to monitor more than location, including generator runtime, vehicle utilization, trailer status, and selected operating measurements.

Why Telematics

Key Features & Benefits

  1. 1

    Status Inputs

    Collect ignition state, voltage, and supported digital or analog input data.

  2. 2

    Sensor Integration

    Connect BLE or wired peripherals where the selected tracker supports them.

  3. 3

    Remote Reporting

    Deliver structured events and measurements to a telemetry server.

  4. 4

    Flexible Applications

    Adapt compatible tracking hardware for mobile vehicles or fixed equipment monitoring.

Use Cases

Popular Applications

In Practice

Practical Example

Customer Need:

A solution provider needs one connected device to report generator location, operating hours, and a measurable electrical load.

Example Deployment:

A mobile generator reports its position, engine runtime, and a reading from a compatible auxiliary sensor.

Typical Architecture:

Vehicle / Asset Inputs → Tracker → Cellular Network → Telemetry Server

Monitoring Data:

  • Position
  • Engine on/off status and runtime
  • External sensor reading
  • Power and connectivity state

Expected Outcome:

The end customer can plan maintenance around actual equipment usage and selected operating measurements.

Requirements

Required Hardware & Software

  • GPS tracker with suitable interfaces
  • Installation wiring and power supply
  • Supported sensors or input/output interfaces
  • Device protocol parser and telemetry platform

Support

How BoxTech Supports Your Project

BoxTech works with IoT solution providers, resellers, system integrators, and software partners to match tracking hardware with application requirements.

Support may include comparing Queclink models or other compatible trackers, checking input/output and BLE support, preparing device configurations, testing sample hardware, and validating decoded data before deployment, subject to selected products and agreed project scope.

Before You Deploy

What to Validate

Confirm device input/output capabilities, firmware requirements, supported peripherals, protocol decoding, power consumption, and installation conditions. Verify that the chosen model can collect and transmit every required measurement.
