A GPS Bluetooth Reader can be attached to moving assets such as containers, vehicles, or masterboxes. The reader can track its own location and detect nearby Bluetooth tags.
When in use:
- The reader’s position appears in Map View.
- If the reader enters a Geofence, the system records that location name.
- Any Bluetooth-tagged assets onboard are automatically updated as being inside that Geofence.
- If an asset is left behind in the Geofence, it will remain recorded as “last seen” at that location after the reader departs.
- All other assets still onboard will display as being with the vehicle (i.e. with the GPS Bluetooth Reader).
Common GPS Device Options
We work closely with Digital Matter to supply reliable GPS tracking hardware. While there are many devices available, most of our deployments use the following models:
Device | Power | Battery/Backup | Best Use | Key Features |
Internal battery | 6–8 years | Vehicles carrying tagged assets, containers in transit | Combines GPS tracking + Bluetooth gateway for onboard asset visibility | |
G70 BLE
(supersedes G120) | Wired to ignition | Up to 3 days backup battery | Vehicles (cars, vans, light trucks) | Indoor/outdoor GPS + BLE support, reports trips and engine events |
G150 (supersedes G120) | Wired to ignition | N/A (no internal battery) | Heavy vehicles and plant equipment | Continuous power, ignition sensing, high-frequency reporting |
Dart3
(supersedes G120) | Wired to ignition | Short backup battery | Fleet tracking and driver monitoring | Compact, affordable, suited for everyday vehicle tracking |
How to Choose
- ✅ Manta Fusion → Best when you also need to track Bluetooth-tagged assets inside a vehicle or container.
- ✅ G70 BLE → Great for everyday vehicles where you want both GPS and Bluetooth coverage.
- ✅ G150 → Ideal for heavy equipment or vehicles that need constant high-frequency reporting.
- ✅ Dart3 → A cost-effective choice for simple fleet tracking and driver monitoring.
Together, these devices cover most real-world tracking scenarios — from long-life deployments in the field to reliable fleet reporting in day-to-day operations.
