The AT242 is a rugged, Green-Gps compatible GPS tracker and telematics device built for continuous vehicle and asset monitoring in the harshest environments. With 4G LTE Cat 1 connectivity, multi-constellation GNSS, IP67 waterproof sealing and an extensive suite of I/O, the AT242 delivers reliable real-time tracking, tamper detection and telemetry for fleet management, vehicle sharing and industrial applications.
The compact AT242 pairs high-sensitivity positioning (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) with optional Bluetooth sensor support and broad vehicle interfaces, enabling fast integration with Green-Gps for live location, CANBus telemetry, driver identification and event-driven alerts. Its internal backup battery, MEMS accelerometer and tamper sensor provide continuous anti-theft and security monitoring even during power interruptions.
Key Highlights
- Green-Gps compatible for real-time tracking and fleet management with low-latency 4G LTE Cat 1 connectivity.
- Rugged IP67 enclosure and internal antennas for reliable operation in rain, dust and industrial conditions.
- Multi-constellation GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) using a Mediatek chipset and 25mm ceramic patch for improved positioning.
- Extensive I/O for telemetry and integration: multiple digital inputs/outputs, ADCs, RS232, 1-Wire and CANBus support.
- Built-in tamper sensor and MEMS accelerometer enable anti-theft alerts, harsh driving detection and motion events.
- Internal 510mAh backup battery provides up to ~6 days in low-power, 24-hour reporting modes to maintain telemetry during power loss.
- Optional Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for accessory sensors and BLE beacons to extend telemetry and context data.
How It Works with Green-Gps
The AT242 streams GPS position and vehicle telemetry to Green-Gps over its 4G LTE Cat 1 link. Green-Gps ingests the device’s GNSS data, I/O events and CANBus frames to deliver real-time tracking, alerts and historical reports. Because the AT242 exposes driver ID, RS232, ADCs and digital I/O, Green-Gps can present rich telematics dashboards, configurable alerts and automated workflows for fleet operators.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent to Green-Gps via LTE Cat 1.
- Tamper, motion and accelerometer events for anti-theft and impact alerts.
- CANBus and ADC inputs enable fuel monitoring, engine diagnostics and vehicle status reporting.
- Driver ID and accessory integration to associate trips with drivers and capture driver-related events.
- Optional BLE for connecting temperature sensors, beacons or other Bluetooth sensors for expanded telemetry.
