Queclink Wireless Solutions has launched a GPS location device, introducing a real-time micro tracker for lone worker protection.
The company says that the GL30 possesses an ultra-compact and rugged design, multi-network connectivity and enhanced location capabilities, making it ideal for safety and security of employees working in remote or high-risk locations.
“The safeguarding of lone workers is a priority for any organization, so there is growing demand for smaller and more powerful tracking tools that can operate in the most remote places and harshest conditions,” explained Chris Diaz, Director of Business Development at Queclink Wireless Solutions.
“Providing accurate, timely updates, with advanced alert and SOS functionality, the GL30 can be used to monitor the location, movement and welfare of people operating, ensuring a quick response to any issues or threats.”
According to the company, 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.
Reportedly, 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, geozoning and SOS button also allow for monitoring of lone worker 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,” added Diaz.
“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.”
