The R18 is a compact 4G GPS tracker engineered for versatile vehicle and asset tracking and is fully suitable for integration with Green-Gps. Built for motorcycles, cars, boats and general asset protection, the R18 combines a wide DC input range (8–90V), internal GPS/GSM antennas and a rugged industrial form factor to simplify installation and reduce visibility. Its feature set is optimized for fleet management and anti-theft workflows when used as a Green-Gps compatible tracker.
The R18 provides reliable real-time tracking and multiple telemetry modes that fit both commercial fleets and personal safety use cases. With support for GPS + GSM base station dual tracking, configurable alarm types (SOS, geo-fence, power-cut and more), and optional remote engine stop via relay, the R18 delivers the essential inputs Green-Gps needs to provide accurate location, event alerts and long-term reporting.
Key Highlights
- Green-Gps compatible: Designed for straightforward protocol integration into third-party platforms, making setup with Green-Gps fast and reliable.
- Compact 4G connectivity: LTE Cat-1 (SIMCOM A7670) for robust cellular coverage and efficient data transfer for real-time tracking.
- Wide power range: DC 8–90V input supports motorcycles, cars, trucks and marine batteries without additional converters.
- Multiple tracking modes: Real-time, time-interval, distance, direction-change and mobile-phone based tracking to tune telemetry for fleet management needs.
- Rich alarm suite: SOS, external power-cut, door/engine status, geo-fence, speeding, idling, fatigue driving and harsh driving alarms for anti-theft and safety.
- Backup battery: Internal 120 mAh battery provides around 2 hours of backup runtime for short-term power-loss scenarios.
- Small form factor and discreet installation: 77 x 36.5 x 14.5 mm, lightweight 43 g unit suitable for hidden mounting.
How It Works with Green-Gps
When integrated with Green-Gps, the R18 supplies continuous GPS location and GSM telemetry for real-time tracking, historical route playback and event-driven alerts. Green-Gps ingests the R18’s telematics and alarm events, normalizes the data and presents it in dashboard views, map tracks, and automated reports for fleet operations and security monitoring.
- Real-time tracking and periodic telemetry updates via 4G LTE Cat-1 connectivity.
- Ignition/ACC detection through the dedicated positive ACC input for engine-on/off events and idling reports.
- Analog input (0–26V) for external sensor integration such as fuel-level sensors or other voltage-based telemetry.
- Optional remote immobilizer/engine stop: supports relay-based remote engine cut when deployed with the relay accessory and permitted by local regulations.
- Alarm and event forwarding: SOS, geo-fence breaches, power-cut, speeding and harsh driving alarms are forwarded to Green-Gps for alerting and escalation.
