Queclink Wireless Solutions, a global provider of IoT devices and hardware, has launched its smallest-ever GPS location device with the introduction of a real-time micro tracker for advanced warehouse and logistics applications. The GL30 possesses an ultra-compact and rugged design, multi-network connectivity, and enhanced location capabilities, making it ideal for the monitoring of material handling assets and high-value cargo.

“Supply chain organizations increasingly demand real-time visibility of asset locations across the warehouse and transportation environment to enhance control, productivity and efficiency, so there is growing demand for smaller and more powerful tracking tools,” explains Chris Diaz, Director of Business Development at Queclink Wireless Solutions. “Providing accurate, timely updates, with advanced alerting and location functionality, the GL30 can be used to enhance inventory management, optimize operations and ensure the safety of valuable goods.”

The LTE Cat M1/NB2 micro tracker measures just 60 × 31.7 × 19.66mm, weighs 27.6g, and has an IP67 waterproof rating for use in harsh environments. It uses LTE Cat M1/NB2 technology, with 2G fallback and cellular base positioning, for accurate and timely location updates both indoors and outside. Wi-Fi scanning detects when the device is near a known network and switches to power-saving mode, while BLE 5.2 connectivity means it can pair with beacons for asset management or accessory integration.

The GL30 has flexible reporting and power modes that maximize battery-life, including home-zone power saving. Depending on reporting intervals, it can last up to 170 days in standby mode, providing flexible options to best manage battery life versus reporting frequency. Advanced motion detection and geozoning also allows for monitoring of work patterns, resource management and highly configurable safety alerts.

“The GL30 extends our product portfolio with a device that is half the size and 60% lighter than our existing compact solution, as well as adding advanced capabilities for indoor-and event-based tracking. We are constantly listening to our technology partners to understand the needs of the marketplace and how we can use our proven expertise to help. This means we can continue to expand our range of tracking units, dashcams and industrial routers with reliable, cost-effective and feature-rich solutions that deliver sophisticated IoT applications,” adds Diaz.
