AT21-4G
The AT21-4G is a rugged, solar-powered 4G GPS tracker engineered for long-term remote asset monitoring and is fully Green-Gps compatible. Built for trailers, containers, boxcars, mining equipment and other stationary or remote assets, the AT21-4G combines durable IP67 protection, a large integrated solar panel and a 10,000 mAh Li‑polymer battery to deliver continuous, low-maintenance telematics where permanent DC power is not available. When paired with Green-Gps, the AT21-4G provides reliable real-time tracking, telemetry and event alerts that fleet managers and asset custodians depend on.
Designed for simple installation and efficient power management, the AT21-4G supports DC input (9–45 V) and solar-only operation, with optional magnets for metal-surface mounting. The device streams location and sensor data over LTE Cat 1 (with automatic fallback to WCDMA/EDGE/GPRS) via UDP, TCP or SMS, and stores offline logs on its internal flash. Integrated multi-GNSS positioning and low-power modes make it ideal for long-term deployments that require accurate positioning, anti-theft monitoring and remote immobilizer or ignition status via configurable I/O — all easily visualized and managed in Green-Gps.
Key Highlights
- Solar-powered autonomy with integrated large panel and 10,000 mAh Li‑polymer battery for long deployments without DC power.
- Green-Gps compatible for real-time tracking, telemetry, event alerts and historical playback via UDP/TCP/SMS data feeds.
- Rugged IP67 PC+ABS enclosure with optional removable magnets for quick rooftop or exposed-surface installation.
- Multi-GNSS (GPS/BeiDou/GLONASS/Galileo/SBAS/QZSS) for faster fixes and improved accuracy (~2.0 m CEP, -167 dBm sensitivity).
- Ultra-low power MCU and multi-mode sleep logic (normal, sleep, deep sleep, beacon) to minimize current draw and extend autonomous life.
- Flexible telemetry and sensor support: 1-wire temperature sensor, optional TPMS, long-range RFID and analog/digital I/O for fuel, ignition or immobilizer control.
- Reliable cellular connectivity: LTE Cat 1 with regional band kits and automatic fallback when 4G is unavailable.
How It Works with Green-Gps
The AT21-4G integrates with Green-Gps by sending location, sensor and event data over UDP, TCP or SMS to Green-Gps’s ingestion endpoints. Green-Gps parses incoming packets and combines them with the platform’s mapping, alerting and reporting features to deliver real-time tracking and fleet management insights. Internal offline logs (16 MB) and configurable reporting intervals let the device optimize power consumption while ensuring Green-Gps receives the data it needs for situational awareness.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates transmitted to Green-Gps for live tracking and route playback.
- Digitally monitored ignition and digital I/O can be used for alarm events, ignition status and remote immobilizer control when configured.
- Fuel monitoring and analog-sensor telemetry via the analog input to support fuel-level reporting and consumption analysis.
- Offline logging and store-and-forward on the device allow Green-Gps to reconstruct historical tracks after connectivity gaps.
- Sensor integration: DS18B20 1-wire temperature monitoring, optional TPMS for tire pressure telemetry and long-range RFID for tag-based asset ID — Green-Gps aggregates these inputs alongside GPS data. For Bluetooth sensors, Green-Gps can correlate BLE data when a separate BLE gateway is present in the deployment.
