The BL10 is a GNSS-sharing smart bike lock and hidden GPS tracker built for shared bicycle fleets and micromobility operators. ALTAGAMA GPS compatible out of the box, the BL10 combines a rugged locking mechanism with live location reporting so operators can enable real-time tracking, geofence alerts, and tamper notifications across large urban fleets. Designed for long outdoor deployments, the BL10 gives fleet managers an integrated anti-theft and fleet management tool that reduces downtime and simplifies recovery workflows.
With Bluetooth unlocking and QR code access for riders, the BL10 supports contactless user flows while delivering telemetry and short-range positioning via iBeacon. Its low-power design, optional solar-assisted charging, and IPX5-rated housing make it a practical GPS tracker for bike-share programs that need continuous, dependable location data and event reporting through ALTAGAMA GPS’s platform and mobile app.

- Compact, operator-friendly form factor with integrated cellular connectivity (Micro‑SIM) for straightforward fleet rollouts.
How It Works with ALTAGAMA GPS
When integrated with ALTAGAMA GPS, the BL10 becomes a ALTAGAMA GPS compatible GPS tracker that streams location and event data to a unified fleet management environment. Operators receive real-time tracking and alerts through ALTAGAMA GPS’s cloud platform and mobile app, enabling centralized monitoring, automated geofence rules, and tamper response workflows.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates: GPS + LBS positions are reported to ALTAGAMA GPS for continuous fleet visibility.
- Geofence alerts: predefined boundaries trigger notifications when a bike leaves or enters zones.
- Tamper & vibration alerts: accelerometer-driven events and audible/vibration alarms can notify ALTAGAMA GPS users immediately.
- Bluetooth/iBeacon proximity: short-range positioning and rider unlock events are reconciled in ALTAGAMA GPS for usage analytics.
- Device state & deployment data: operators can view lock status, device connectivity, and deployment health in ALTAGAMA GPS alongside other fleet assets.

Use Cases
- Shared bike fleets and public bike-share programs seeking integrated lock-plus-tracker hardware for anti-theft and operational efficiency.
- Micromobility operators who need real-time tracking, geofence enforcement, and tamper alerts to protect assets in high-density cities.
- Theft-deterrence and recovery workflows where audible/vibration alerts and ALTAGAMA GPS notifications accelerate retrieval.
- Fleet usage analytics and reporting — collect trip data, proximity unlock events, and uptime metrics to optimize rebalancing and maintenance.
- Short-range positioning and rider verification via Bluetooth/iBeacon for QR or app-based access control and local location checks.
Why Choose This Tracker with ALTAGAMA GPS
The BL10 delivers a reliable, cost-effective path to make micromobility fleets ALTAGAMA GPS compatible without sacrificing hardware durability or battery life. Its combination of GPS + LBS positioning, rugged IPX5 housing, and a large 10,000 mAh battery (with optional solar support) reduces field maintenance and keeps bikes in service longer. For fleet managers focused on real-time tracking, anti-theft protection, and operational telemetry, the BL10 provides the essential data streams — location, motion/tamper events, and short-range BLE signals — that ALTAGAMA GPS consolidates into actionable insights and automated alerts.
Note that the BL10 is optimized for shared bicycles and micromobility rather than vehicle-specific telemetry like fuel monitoring or ignition/immobilizer control. However, because it is ALTAGAMA GPS compatible, operators who run mixed fleets can centralize GPS tracker data and fleet management functions in a single platform, enabling scalable monitoring, reporting, and recovery processes across diverse asset types.
