This post is great its been going for a year and a half now. there is one calamp ATU-620 registered with wialon, I wonder who it is! I am a little curious about this product, this device is interesting because it uses AA batteries.

I fell your pain about the stability of devices! we don't want anything trick, just a reliable, stable way of recieving a one GPS point every 24 hours for at least one year.

am also looking at the TTU-700 series for possible testing thanks to you guys! it seems the TTU-700 is a very well accepted and reliable unit.

I hope to have some more hardware to work with soon!

Hey, Wolf!

we've been testing Calamp OBD device for a couple of months, it seemed us a really good and reliable device with their own philosophy in terms of OBD-data capturing, but works good despite a really complicated configuration tool tailored for true engineers mostly, anyway...

As for their policy of cooperation i would agree with you that they have some specific way of operating, nevertheless we managed to get some direct contacts of their european entity, so if you need to speed up their reaction you can poke me in Skype and we could try to make the process more effective. Last time they had some growth in our platform so they are supposed to have some interest in that.

yes Wolf, i already sent a message to their team in UK (you're in Cc.)

hey wolf, we have a supplier for calamp I am talking to down here at the moment, about there products, what they offer is intriguing. I have been working with a AS-1 from atrack when i can, i am currently trying to establish if i am an idiot, or if the device can sense its working with one.

either way, i agree fully, its a long road to finding the perfect device! going to have a look at some of the suggestions here as well, all i want is one point a day for one year on a battery, reliable, and reasonable $, its weird how this can be elusive goal

We are evaluation a locking solution for containers, it clips onto the door locking mechanism thus securing the doors. The tracking device, in this case a Tramigo T23 Magnum, is inserted into the lock before the lock is closed and locked. I think we could use any tracker that can fit in the opening. The tracking device then captures movement, location, tampering etc. The lock is coming from a South African company Leopard Lock. Will update the forum once we have some test details and price indication.

Dear Partner,

Kindly need help i have a client who would want to monitor trucks with our platform but  with Portable devices which can last say 30 days with charge

any ideas Partners

thanks Baltika for your reply

Steve,
Option is to adapt  a standard small GPS to use a lighter socket connection. Or place it in a box with an extended battery again this can connect to the lighter socket.

Hi All.

I came back to play with GL505 from Queclink.
Today the new versions do work very well.
I don't let it  go to Deep sleep   (3 years )
I prefer to have continues control by long TCP.
In rest mode the interval is 1 day.
When in move interval is 5min/60min can be set from web/application.
I can ask it to get position now from web/application.
Very accurate, reliable, good docs.
Water proof IPX7 .
Looks I am going to enjoy it.

Queclink-Gurtam = leading solution.

The GL505 is a powerful waterproof GPS trailer tracker designed for fixed asset tracking applications. It is powered by two user replaceable CR123A lithium batteries.

By the way.
Concox GT03A also works nice but.
Weak magnet.
Good for a week or two.

If there is external 12-24V battery then GT100 is perfect solution for asset too.

Looking for a low cost asset battery powered tracking unit, needs three to five year battery life only neees to report its location once a week. Operating enviroment means units need to be more or less throw away when battery flat or unit damaged, we have a target price of 30$ to 35$ per unit. Anyone know of a unit that fits the requirement or any manufacturers who have a unit please get in touch, initial order is 200 units.

Thanks Lindsay

Hello Jorge,
There are some fine points related to tracking freight containers, so I advice you to search for Container  ELectronic Seal that was designed for such applications.
There are limited number of manufacturers and I guess you will mine them quickly.
