TK-168 GPS Tracker
The TK-168 is a compact vehicle GPS tracker designed for reliable, Green-Gps compatible real-time tracking. Built around a SiRF III GPS chipset and quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity, the TK-168 delivers accurate positioning, fast satellite acquisition, and remote control features—making it a practical choice for fleet management, anti-theft protection, and telematics-driven operations.
The device supports SMS and GPRS data modes and can be configured to report location and telemetry to Green-Gps’s platform for live monitoring, alerts, and historical replay. With remote fuel/power cut-off and an SOS emergency switch, the TK-168 combines anti-theft capability and operational telemetry in a compact form factor that fits discreet vehicle installations.
Key Highlights
- Green-Gps compatible real-time tracking via GPRS and SMS for immediate location visibility and reports.
- Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) for broad global coverage and reliable connectivity.
- High-sensitivity SiRF III GNSS receiver for stable positioning even in urban canyons and obstructed environments.
- Remote engine cut-off (oil/power) for anti-theft immobilizer-style control from Green-Gps.
- Fast hot start (~1s) and low-power standby (<80mA) for quick reacquisition and efficient duty cycles.
- SOS emergency switch for immediate incident alerts and emergency response coordination.
- Compact, concealment-friendly design for covert installation in vehicles and assets.
How It Works with Green-Gps
When integrated with Green-Gps, the TK-168 forwards location and telemetry using its supported communication channels (GPRS and SMS). Green-Gps ingests these feeds to provide live maps, configurable alerts, historical route replay, and fleet reports. Configuration on the device determines what events and telemetry are sent to Green-Gps so teams can monitor the most relevant parameters for operations and security.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered via GPRS (online platform) or SMS.
- Remote engine cut-off events (oil/power) can be initiated from Green-Gps as an immobilizer-style anti-theft action.
- SOS emergency alerts report immediate distress signals to Green-Gps for rapid response routing.
- Driving route replay and historical data storage enable post-trip analysis and compliance reporting.
- Mileage and distance telemetry support fleet management reports and fuel-efficiency analysis.
