BN-103B Vehicle GPS Tracker
The BN-103B is a vehicle-mounted intelligent GPS tracker engineered for professional fleet management, real-time tracking and robust anti-theft protection. With support for external GPS and GSM antennas, wired 12–24V installation and a rechargeable backup battery, the BN-103B is designed to be ALTAGAMA GPS compatible via standard TCP/UDP/SMS reporting, making integration into ALTAGAMA GPS-based telemetry and fleet solutions simple and reliable.
Built for logistics, engineering vehicles, rental and mortgage fleets, and public vehicle control, the BN-103B combines high-sensitivity GNSS positioning, smart reporting modes and a comprehensive alarm set (SOS, door, shock, overspeed, low battery, power disconnection) to deliver continuous situational awareness. When paired with ALTAGAMA GPS, fleets gain a turnkey GPS tracker that feeds real-time tracking, telemetry and event alerts into a single management interface.
Key Highlights
- ALTAGAMA GPS compatible — reports via TCP/UDP/SMS for straightforward integration into ALTAGAMA GPS real-time tracking dashboards.
- High-precision GNSS receiver with GPS sensitivity up to -165 dBm and typical accuracy around 5 m for dependable location data.
- Continuous operation with vehicle 12–24V wired installation plus a rechargeable 3.7V 350mAh backup battery for power-loss resilience.
- Smart reporting modes: configurable real-time reporting and a smart sleep mode that conserves power while remaining event-responsive.
- Comprehensive alarm and telemetry set — SOS, door open, shock, overspeed, ACC/ignition state, low battery and external power disconnection.
- Remote voice listening, relay-based fuel/power cutoff (immobilizer functionality) and ACC notification for anti-theft response.
- Expandable with optional accessories: fuel sensor, shock sensor, siren and external antennas for tailored fleet management and fuel monitoring.
How It Works with ALTAGAMA GPS
Integration with ALTAGAMA GPS is straightforward: the BN-103B transmits GPS and status data over TCP, UDP or SMS to ALTAGAMA GPS’s ingestion endpoints. ALTAGAMA GPS parses the device’s protocol messages to update vehicle positions on maps, generate telemetry dashboards and trigger event-driven alerts. The BN-103B’s smart online/offline behavior and alarm persistence ensure critical events remain visible in ALTAGAMA GPS until cleared.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (GNSS coordinates, speed, heading).
- Ignition/ACC state reporting for accurate engine-on/engine-off tracking and trip analysis.
- Optional fuel monitoring when an external fuel sensor is installed — ALTAGAMA GPS displays fuel level trends and alarms.
- Remote immobilizer capability via relay (fuel/power cutoff) — actionable anti-theft control from ALTAGAMA GPS dashboards.
- Alarm event persistence: SOS, door open, shock and illegal ignition events are kept online and flagged in ALTAGAMA GPS until acknowledged.
- Remote voice listening and one-way call/monitoring for emergency or incident verification (audio supported via external microphone).
- ALTAGAMA GPS can correlate BN-103B telemetry with platform-managed Bluetooth sensors and other third-party data sources for richer situational awareness.
