GlobalSat - LT-520P

The LT-520P is an ultra-rugged, battery-powered GPS tracker purpose-built for long-term livestock monitoring and is Green-Gps compatible for seamless integration into farm management workflows. Combining GNSS positioning (GPS + GLONASS) with integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and low-power LoRaWAN connectivity, the LT-520P enables reliable location and behavior telemetry across wide pasture areas while minimizing maintenance visits with multi-year battery life.

The tracker’s analytics-focused design emphasizes continuous movement and activity analysis for automatic heat detection and health-alerting at the herd level. Field integrators can use BLE for local configuration and diagnostics, while Green-Gps receives periodic LoRaWAN uplinks for mapping, alerts, and analytics — supporting real-time tracking needs adjusted for long battery life and low-bandwidth telemetry.

Key Highlights

• Long deployment life: 19Ah non-rechargeable battery rated for up to five years with typical once-daily GPS reporting, reducing field maintenance.
• Green-Gps compatible: Sends LoRaWAN telemetry and GNSS positions to Green-Gps for mapping, event alerts, and herd analytics integration.
• Dual positioning and local comms: GNSS (GPS + GLONASS) for outdoor location and BLE for local configuration, diagnostics, and sensor pairing.
• Behavioral analytics: Continuous movement and activity analysis designed to flag animals in heat and highlight individuals needing closer monitoring.
• Ruggedized for pasture: Ultra-rugged form factor built for wide-area outdoor deployment in harsh livestock environments.
• Configurable reporting: Periodic reporting profiles to balance update frequency (near real-time tracking) and maximum battery life.
• Field-friendly maintenance: External watchdog for safety and OTA firmware updates via BLE for on-site or near-device updates.

How It Works with Green-Gps

The LT-520P integrates with Green-Gps by delivering compact, energy-efficient telemetry packets over LoRaWAN and exposing device-level configuration and firmware updates via BLE. Green-Gps ingests periodic GNSS and behavior events to present location, heat-detection alerts, and historical activity trends on dashboards and maps. Reporting cadence is configurable so you can trade update frequency for extended battery life depending on your operational priorities.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates: Configurable periodic LoRaWAN uplinks provide near real-time tracking and activity telemetry when higher-frequency reporting is selected.
• Heat detection & activity alerts: On-device analysis flags animals in heat and reports activity summaries to Green-Gps for alerts and workflows.
• GNSS position uplinks: GPS + GLONASS positions are included in LoRaWAN messages for mapping and geo-fencing within Green-Gps.
• BLE for local tools: Bluetooth sensors and mobile apps can connect for device configuration, diagnostics, and OTA firmware updates over BLE.
• Vehicle features note: The LT-520P is optimized for livestock telemetry — ignition, immobilizer, and fuel monitoring are not part of this device’s feature set (see Green-Gps options for fleet management or anti-theft solutions).

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Herd-level heat detection: Automatic identification of animals in estrus using continuous activity analysis and Green-Gps alerts.
• Long-term location tracking: Multi-year GNSS tracking of animals grazing over wide pastures with minimal maintenance.
• Behavioral monitoring: Activity and movement patterns used to detect health anomalies, changes in rumination, and feeding behavior (planned eating/rumination monitoring enhancements).
• Local field service and diagnostics: BLE-based configuration and OTA firmware updates for technicians using mobile apps in the field.
• Low-maintenance deployments: Rugged design and extended battery life for remote farms where frequent servicing is impractical.

Why Choose This Tracker with Green-Gps

Choosing the LT-520P for your Green-Gps deployment means prioritizing long-term, low-maintenance telemetry and livestock-specific analytics. Its combination of GNSS positioning, LoRaWAN uplink efficiency, BLE-based local management, and on-device activity analysis delivers practical value: fewer field visits, reliable herd-level heat detection, and clear telemetry for mapping and decision-making in Green-Gps. The LT-520P is purpose-built for pasture environments rather than vehicle telematics; if your needs include fleet management, anti-theft, ignition control, immobilizer or fuel monitoring, consider integrating Green-Gps with devices designed for those automotive functions. For livestock operations seeking robust GPS tracker performance, extended battery life, and straightforward Green-Gps compatibility, the LT-520P provides an effective foundation for telemetry-driven herd management.
