4G PT20 Portable GPS Tracker
The 4G PT20 is a compact, magnetic GPS tracker designed for reliable, ALTAGAMA GPS compatible real-time tracking of vehicles and portable assets. With 4G/3G/2G cellular connectivity, hybrid GPS/LBS positioning and a rechargeable 2500mAh battery, the PT20 is built for covert installation, long standby times and continuous location reporting to third‑party platforms such as ALTAGAMA GPS.
The PT20 supports configurable tracking intervals, overspeed alerts, historical track queries and buffered data resend after cellular blind spots—features fleet managers and owners rely on for fleet management, anti‑theft monitoring and telemetry-based auditing. Its small magnetic housing and durable operating range make it a flexible choice for temporary or permanent deployments where portability and discretion matter.
Key Highlights
- ALTAGAMA GPS compatible: Sends live GPS/LBS position data to external tracking platforms via standard cellular protocols for real‑time tracking and reporting.
- Compact magnetic housing: Easy covert mounting on vehicles, trailers and portable assets for rapid deployment and discreet protection.
- Long standby battery: Rechargeable 2500mAh Li‑ion cell with low‑power sleep modes for extended unattended operation.
- 4G/3G/2G connectivity with data buffering: Maintains position history in GSM blind spots and resends stored data when signal returns.
- Configurable telemetry and alerts: Real‑time updates, overspeed notifications and alarm reporting with historical track queries up to 30 days.
- Wide input voltage range: DC +9V to +36V support for integration with vehicle power systems when continuous power is required.
- Robust environmental ratings: Operates from −40°C to 75°C and humidity 5%–95%, suitable for varied field conditions.
How It Works with ALTAGAMA GPS
The PT20 uploads its GPS and LBS location data to a tracking server using a standard SIM card and cellular data plan. When used with ALTAGAMA GPS, position and alarm packets from the PT20 are received by ALTAGAMA GPS’s ingestion layer and displayed in real time on dashboards, maps and reports. The device’s local buffer ensures no loss of data during temporary GSM outages: stored points are forwarded to ALTAGAMA GPS once connectivity is restored.
- Real‑time location and telemetry updates sent over 4G/3G/2G to ALTAGAMA GPS.
- Overspeed and alarm reports delivered as alerts in ALTAGAMA GPS for immediate operator action.
- Historical track queries up to 30 days available through ALTAGAMA GPS’s reporting tools.
- Buffered data resend after cellular blind spots preserves accurate movement history in ALTAGAMA GPS.
- Standard SIM card required for live active tracking and telemetry upload.
Note on integrations: the PT20 specification does not list built‑in fuel monitoring, ignition inputs, immobilizer control or Bluetooth sensors. ALTAGAMA GPS can still correlate PT20 position and alarm telemetry with external vehicle telematics, fuel sensors or immobilizer systems when those data sources are available and integrated through ALTAGAMA GPS or compatible gateways. Confirm required peripheral support with the supplier if you need direct ignition or immobilizer control.

Use Cases
- Fleet management: portable tracking for rental vehicles, auxiliary equipment or temporary fleet expansion where rapid redeployment is needed.
- Anti‑theft monitoring: magnetic covert mounting on cars, trailers or containers for discreet location reporting and alarm notifications.
- Asset tracking: attach to heavy equipment, generators or containers for on‑demand location and historical movement auditing.
- Short‑term or investigative deployments: field teams can quickly install and remove the PT20 for temporary surveillance or tracking tasks.
- Data continuity in low‑coverage areas: buffered storage and resend capability preserves track history through signal gaps for later analysis in ALTAGAMA GPS.
Why Choose the PT20 with ALTAGAMA GPS
Combining the PT20 with ALTAGAMA GPS delivers a practical, cost‑effective tracking solution for organizations that need reliable real‑time tracking, auditing and alerting without complex wiring. The PT20’s magnetic design and long standby battery reduce installation time and increase deployment flexibility, while its cellular and hybrid positioning keep location updates flowing to ALTAGAMA GPS dashboards. For fleet managers focused on telemetry, anti‑theft response and historical reporting, the PT20 offers straightforward integration with ALTAGAMA GPS’s platform tools and reporting workflows.
Before purchase, confirm the specific cellular bands, real‑world battery endurance at your chosen reporting interval, and whether any additional I/O (ignition, immobilizer) or Bluetooth sensor support is required for your use case. When matched to the ALTAGAMA GPS platform and an appropriate data plan, the 4G PT20 is a capable portable GPS tracker for fleet management, vehicle security and asset telemetry.
