The VL100L by an established telematics hardware provider is a compact, low-cost GPS tracker purpose-built for fleet management, basic insurance monitoring and economical vehicle surveillance. Designed to be Green-Gps compatible out of the box via its GT06 protocol support, the VL100L enables fast real-time tracking and reliable telemetry transmission over 4G with automatic fallback to 2G networks for broader coverage and continuity.
Its small form factor and automotive-grade electrical tolerance make the VL100L a practical choice for businesses and insurers seeking straightforward integration with Green-Gps for anti-theft workflows, ignition-aware tracking and remote immobilizer control. The device balances affordability with proven features — internal position buffering, low-power idle states and OTA/USB firmware updates — to keep fleet data flowing even through temporary outages.
Key Highlights
- Green-Gps compatible via GT06 protocol for quick integration with the Green-Gps platform and other telematics systems.
- 4G connectivity with automatic fallback to 2G networks to maintain real-time tracking across wide coverage areas.
- Built-in blocking output for remote immobilizer control to support anti-theft and vehicle recovery workflows.
- Wide operating voltage (9 V–100 V) and compact size (88 × 42 × 18 mm) for straightforward installation in cars, vans and light trucks.
- Internal position memory storing up to 10,000 points to preserve location history during network outages.
- Optimized power consumption with <10 mA in Sleep Mode and <3 mA in Deep Sleep Mode for vehicle use.
- Firmware updates via USB or OTA (over-the-air) to keep devices current with minimal downtime.
- Simple 4-wire connection (VCC, GND, Ignition, Blocking Output) for reliable ignition detection and control integration.
How It Works with Green-Gps
The VL100L integrates smoothly with Green-Gps by using the GT06 communication protocol to send location and telemetry packets directly to your Green-Gps instance. Green-Gps ingests the device’s real-time tracking data and status messages, enabling dashboards, alerts and reports for fleet managers and insurers. Because the unit buffers up to 10,000 location points, Green-Gps receives historical position data after connectivity is restored, keeping trip records intact and continuous.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Green-Gps for live tracking and route playback.
- Ignition status input for trip segmentation, driving behavior, and vehicle-on/off events.
- Remote immobilizer support through the blocking output for anti-theft actions initiated from Green-Gps.
- Offline data buffering (up to 10,000 points) ensures no gaps in tracking when networks are unavailable.
- Firmware updates via OTA or USB can be coordinated alongside Green-Gps device records for lifecycle management.

Why Choose This Tracker with Green-Gps
For organizations looking for an economical GPS tracker that is Green-Gps compatible, the VL100L delivers a reliable balance of connectivity, simplicity and vehicle-grade robustness. The GT06 protocol makes integration with Green-Gps straightforward, while OTA/USB firmware updates help keep devices secure and up to date. The wide 9–100 V input range and very low sleep current mean the unit is suitable for a variety of vehicle electrical environments without placing undue load on the vehicle system.
Combined with Green-Gps’s real-time tracking, reporting and alerting, the VL100L supports essential fleet management and anti-theft capabilities — including ignition-based telemetry and remote immobilizer control — while its internal memory ensures continuity during temporary network outages. Where broader telemetry (fuel monitoring) or sensor data (Bluetooth sensors or external modules) are part of a larger solution, Green-Gps can combine data streams to deliver richer operational insight, making the VL100L a dependable, cost-effective building block for scalable vehicle tracking deployments.
