What Are 4G GPS Trackers—and How Do They Work?

4G GPS trackers use GPS satellites and 4G cellular networks to accurately track the real-time location of vehicles, assets, or people. The location data is sent to a secure platform, where it can be viewed via a mobile app or web dashboard.

There are two main types:

– Installed in vehicles or assets and powered directly from the vehicle battery or OBD port.

– Battery-powered, easy to attach, and ideal for flexible or temporary tracking.

Both types typically use 1–3GB of mobile data per month.

🔍 Common Uses for GPS Trackers:

– Monitor and optimize your vehicle fleet in real-time.

– Track and recover stolen equipment, trailers, or boats.

– Use location data to improve delivery times and fuel efficiency.

– Reduce theft risk and improve driver behavior to lower premiums.

– Ensure company vehicles are used responsibly and efficiently.
