GlobalSat - LT-520

The LT-520 from GlobalSat is a rugged, Green-Gps compatible GPS tracker designed for long-term asset monitoring in mixed indoor/outdoor environments. Built around LoRaWAN low-power wide-area connectivity and an integrated GNSS receiver (GPS + GLONASS), the LT-520 delivers dependable location data, motion detection and hybrid positioning using BLE, NFC and Wi‑Fi. Its high-capacity 19 Ah non-rechargeable battery and configurable reporting make it an excellent choice for deployments that prioritize battery life and low maintenance.

As a Green-Gps compatible device, the LT-520 integrates smoothly into real-time tracking and fleet management workflows—supporting telemetry-driven alerts, anti-theft monitoring and indoor/outdoor handover when BLE or Wi‑Fi signals are available. An ATEX/IECEx variant (LT-520 ATEX) is available for hazardous environments; contact the manufacturer for certification status and recommended installation guidance for explosive atmospheres.

Key Highlights

• Green-Gps compatible tracker combining LoRaWAN and GNSS (GPS + GLONASS) for reliable position reporting and long battery life.
• Hybrid indoor/outdoor positioning using BLE, NFC and Wi‑Fi to supplement GNSS in buildings and dense environments.
• High-capacity 19 Ah non-rechargeable battery optimized for long deployments—typical life up to 5 years at a once-daily GPS reporting profile.
• Built-in 3-axis accelerometer for motion detection, tamper alerts and configurable periodic reporting to support anti-theft and movement analytics.
• Rugged operating range (-20°C to +60°C) for industrial and outdoor asset tracking in challenging conditions.
• OTA firmware updates via BLE for field updates and lifecycle management without removing the unit from service.
• Optional ATEX/IECEx variant for hazardous areas; consult GlobalSat for current certification and deployment guidance.

How It Works with Green-Gps

The LT-520 integrates with Green-Gps to provide real-time tracking, telemetry and event reporting suitable for fleet management and asset monitoring. Position fixes acquired by the GNSS engine are transmitted over LoRaWAN uplinks to Green-Gps, while BLE and Wi‑Fi scans provide indoor location context. The device’s accelerometer reports motion events and tamper conditions to trigger alerts and automated workflows in Green-Gps.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates sent via LoRaWAN to Green-Gps (subject to regional LoRaWAN network configuration and duty-cycle limits).
• Motion and tamper detection from the 3-axis accelerometer, enabling anti-theft alerts and movement analytics in Green-Gps dashboards.
• Hybrid indoor positioning using BLE and Wi‑Fi scans—Green-Gps can combine these signals with GNSS for improved accuracy when outdoors-to-indoors transitions occur.
• Battery and health telemetry (battery state, device temperature) reported to Green-Gps for predictive maintenance and remote monitoring.
• Support for telemetry integrations—LT-520 data can feed fuel monitoring, ignition state tracking or immobilizer workflows through Green-Gps when paired with appropriate backend integrations or external sensors.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and long-term vehicle/asset tracking where low-power, long-life devices reduce maintenance cycles.
• Industrial asset monitoring and anti-theft applications—accelerometer-driven tamper alerts coupled with Green-Gps immobilizer workflows or alerts via integrations.
• Lone worker and personnel safety tracking using hybrid positioning (GNSS outdoors, BLE/Wi‑Fi indoors) and motion event reporting.
• Remote equipment monitoring in harsh environments where wide temperature tolerance and long battery life are essential.
• Combined indoor/outdoor asset location within warehouses and campuses using BLE/Wi‑Fi beacons to augment GNSS fixes for higher location fidelity.

Why Choose This Tracker with Green-Gps

The LT-520 is positioned for deployments that require durable, low-maintenance GPS tracking with hybrid connectivity. When used as a Green-Gps compatible tracker, it delivers the telemetry and location data needed for effective fleet management, anti-theft response and long-term asset monitoring without frequent battery replacement. Its LoRaWAN backbone ensures low-power uplinks across wide areas, while BLE and Wi‑Fi support enhance indoor positioning accuracy—allowing Green-Gps to reconcile GNSS fixes with local beacon data.

Operational teams benefit from extended service intervals (19 Ah battery with multi-year life in common reporting profiles), over-the-air firmware management via BLE for reduced field visits, and a robust environmental spec for industrial use. For deployments that require work in potentially explosive atmospheres, the LT-520 ATEX variant is available; consult GlobalSat and Green-Gps integration guidance to ensure certification, installation and reporting profiles match your regulatory and safety requirements. Overall, the LT-520 offers a reliable, Green-Gps compatible solution for telemetry-driven tracking, fuel monitoring integrations, ignition and immobilizer workflows via system integrations, and scalable fleet management across indoor and outdoor environments.
