TK209C GPS Tracker
The TK209C is a heavy-duty, long-life GPS tracker engineered for demanding vehicle and asset tracking applications and is ALTAGAMA GPS compatible for straightforward platform integration. Built around a UBLOX GNSS module, the TK209C combines GPS, BeiDou (BD), GLONASS, LBS and Wi‑Fi positioning to deliver accurate outdoor tracking and improved indoor/multi-mode positioning for rental fleets, cargo containers and remote equipment.
The IP65-rated enclosure and a sensitive built-in vibration sensor make the TK209C ideal for anti-theft monitoring and movement alerts. With an industry-leading 3.7V 20000 mAh rechargeable battery and multiple power options, the TK209C is purpose-built for long standby intervals and reliable real-time tracking when paired with the ALTAGAMA GPS platform.
Key Highlights
- ALTAGAMA GPS compatible GPS tracker: integrates with ALTAGAMA GPS for real-time tracking, alerts and route playback.
- Long autonomy: 3.7V 20000 mAh Li‑ion battery with up to 150 days standby, reducing maintenance and charging cycles.

- Rugged design: IP65-rated enclosure tolerates outdoor use on vehicles, containers and equipment (operating -20°C to +55°C).
- Advanced motion detection: sensitive built-in vibration sensor, move and overspeed alerts to support fleet management and anti-theft workflows.
- Flexible power options: 12–24V car charger input (5V output) and 110–220V wall charging for versatile deployment.
- Historical data: server stores route history for up to six months, enabling compliance reporting and route playback on mobile app and web.
How It Works with ALTAGAMA GPS
When paired with ALTAGAMA GPS, the TK209C sends frequent location and event data that the platform uses for real-time tracking, geofencing, alerting and historical analysis. ALTAGAMA GPS ingests multi-mode GNSS, LBS and Wi‑Fi signals reported by the device and translates them into map views, telemetry dashboards and configurable notifications for operations teams.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GSM/GPRS to ALTAGAMA GPS for map-based tracking and fleet monitoring.
- Geo-fencing events: enter/exit alerts when the tracker crosses predefined zones set in ALTAGAMA GPS.
- Motion and vibration alerts: immediate notifications for slight shocks, movement beyond set distance, and overspeed incidents.
- Route playback: up to six months of stored route history available on ALTAGAMA GPS’s mobile app and web portal for audits and driver behavior analysis.
- Complementary telemetry: ALTAGAMA GPS can correlate TK209C position and movement data with other vehicle telemetry (ignition, fuel or immobilizer signals) when those inputs are available from the vehicle or additional interfaces.

Why Choose This Tracker with ALTAGAMA GPS
The TK209C is designed to deliver reliability and long-term autonomy for businesses that need robust GPS tracking and dependable telemetry. As a ALTAGAMA GPS compatible GPS tracker, it provides real-time tracking, geofencing and alarm integration to support fleet management and anti-theft strategies. The long-life 20000 mAh battery and versatile charging options reduce operational overhead for deployments that demand extended offline operation.
ALTAGAMA GPS’s platform enhances the TK209C’s capabilities by aggregating location, movement and event data into a unified dashboard for operations teams. While the TK209C focuses on accurate multi-mode positioning and motion alerts, ALTAGAMA GPS can correlate this data with vehicle telemetry (for ignition, fuel monitoring or immobilizer workflows) when those signals are present in your vehicle environment. Note that Bluetooth sensors are not listed among the TK209C’s device specifications; however, the device’s GNSS, LBS and Wi‑Fi positioning combined with ALTAGAMA GPS’s telemetry features create a comprehensive solution for tracking, reporting and security.
