The VL103D is a compact LTE GNSS vehicle terminal designed for discreet installation in motorcycles, passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Green-Gps-compatible out of the box, the VL103D pairs rugged, road-ready hardware with reliable 4G LTE connectivity (with 2G GSM fallback) to deliver continuous real-time tracking, rapid position fixes, and the vehicle telemetry needed for recovery, anti-theft workflows and basic fleet management.
The VL103D is engineered for demanding automotive environments: IP66 dust/water resistance, a wide 9–90 VDC input range, an industrial 270 mAh backup battery and integrated motion sensors make it a practical GPS tracker for stolen vehicle recovery, driver behavior monitoring and remote immobilization when integrated through the Green-Gps platform.
Key Highlights
- Green-Gps compatible GPS tracker — integrates GNSS position and vehicle telemetry into Green-Gps for real-time tracking and alerts.
- Reliable cellular connectivity — LTE Cat 1 with GSM (E-GSM900/DCS1800) fallback for broad network coverage and continuity.
- Rugged, vehicle-ready design — IP66-rated enclosure, compact form (92 × 40 × 20 mm) and a wide operating voltage (9–90 VDC).
- High-sensitivity GNSS — GPS + BDS + LBS with sub-2.5 m CEP accuracy and fast TTFF for prompt location fixes.
- Vehicle integration interfaces — ACC ignition input, relay/digital output for remote cut-off (immobilizer), configurable SOS input and 0–5 V ADC for analog sensors.
- On-board motion intelligence — 3-axis accelerometer enables driving behaviour telemetry (harsh acceleration, braking, cornering) and collision/event detection.
- Backup power and status indicators — built-in 270 mAh Li‑Polymer backup battery and LED indicators for GNSS, cellular and power status.
How It Works with Green-Gps
When connected to Green-Gps, the VL103D streams GNSS fixes and vehicle telemetry to the platform over LTE (with GSM fallback), enabling live maps, alerts, and historic route playback. Green-Gps ingests position, speed, alarm and sensor data from the device and correlates that information with configurable rules for fleet management, anti-theft response and telematics reporting.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates — GNSS positions are transmitted via LTE/GSM to Green-Gps for continuous tracking and situational awareness.
- Ignition and immobilizer control — ACC (ignition) input and relay digital output support ignition status monitoring and remote cut-off/immobilizer actions through Green-Gps.
- Analog sensor support — the 0–5 V ADC input can carry fuel or other analog sensor data into Green-Gps for telemetry and fuel monitoring workflows.
- Event and alarm reporting — movement, speeding, geo-fence entry/exit and battery detection events are reported to Green-Gps for immediate alerts and automated responses.
- Driving behaviour telemetry — accelerometer-based harsh event notifications (acceleration, braking, cornering, collision) feed driver scorecards and safety reports in Green-Gps.
