The AS500 is a rugged, long‑standby GPS tracker designed for demanding asset tracking applications and is Secure GPS compatible out of the box. Built for construction sites, mining, logistics yards and other harsh environments, the AS500 combines IP67/IP69K mechanical protection, a low‑power architecture and LTE Cat‑M1 cellular connectivity to deliver reliable location and telemetry where long battery life and durability matter.
The AS500 integrates 99‑channel GNSS (GPS + GLONASS), Wi‑Fi scanning and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 for mixed indoor/outdoor positioning and remote sensor monitoring. With flexible data transport (UDP, TCP, MQTT), on‑device queueing and support for Nano SIM or eSIM, the AS500 is engineered to feed Secure GPS with high‑quality location, motion and sensor data for real‑time tracking, fleet management and anti‑theft workflows.
Key Highlights
- Long battery life: up to eight years on three AA Li‑FeS2 cells (3,000 mAh) with daily reporting—ideal for unpowered assets.
- Secure GPS compatible: sends telemetry via UDP/TCP/MQTT for seamless integration with Secure GPS dashboards and alerts.
- Rugged enclosure: IP67 and IP69K rating plus MIL‑STD‑810H resistance to vibration, shock, salt fog and solar radiation.
- Accurate positioning: 99‑channel GNSS (GPS & GLONASS) with ~2.5 m CEP typical accuracy for reliable GPS tracking.
- Indoor/location augmentation: Wi‑Fi scanning and BLE 5.1 long range supported for improved indoor detection and Bluetooth sensors.
- Smart power management: deep sleep current <25 μA and intelligent reporting to maximize standby time.
- Local data resiliency: 16 Mbit internal flash (~10,000 queue entries) stores events during outages or transit.
How It Works with Secure GPS
The AS500 streams and buffers location and sensor data using standard protocols so Secure GPS can deliver real‑time tracking, event alerts and historical telemetry. Configure reporting intervals, geofence rules and event thresholds in Secure GPS while the device prioritizes power efficiency and reliable delivery.
- Real‑time location and telemetry updates delivered to Secure GPS via UDP, TCP or MQTT.
- Motion, tamper and door‑open events reported to trigger Secure GPS alerts for anti‑theft and security workflows.
- Wi‑Fi scanning and BLE sensor data (BLE 5.1) for indoor positioning and remote sensor monitoring through Secure GPS dashboards.
- Queued local storage (≈10,000 entries) ensures no data loss during connectivity gaps; Secure GPS ingests queued data when the link restores.
- ADM device management and UART support enable remote configuration, firmware updates and on‑site maintenance tied to Secure GPS provisioning processes.

- Construction and mining asset monitoring — withstands harsh washdowns, vibration and extreme environments.
- Generator and equipment location & usage monitoring — motion and tamper events help detect unauthorized movement.
- Mixed indoor/outdoor asset tracking — GNSS outdoors with Wi‑Fi scanning and BLE sensors indoors for continuous coverage.
- Logistics yard and fleet adjuncts — buffer telemetry during connectivity gaps and report to Secure GPS when online for fleet management insights.
Why Choose This Tracker with Secure GPS
Pairing the AS500 with Secure GPS delivers a dependable, low‑maintenance GPS tracker solution for operators who need long battery life, rugged hardware and flexible telemetry. The device’s LTE Cat.M1 connectivity and support for UDP/TCP/MQTT let Secure GPS ingest location, motion and sensor data in real time while the local queueing and deep‑sleep modes ensure continuity and exceptional standby life. BLE and Wi‑Fi scanning extend Secure GPS’s visibility indoors, and tamper/door events empower anti‑theft and security workflows.
For fleet management and telemetry programs that require scalable, Secure GPS compatible trackers—especially where assets are unpowered or exposed to harsh conditions—the AS500 offers a compact, certified and field‑proven option. Its remote management support (ADM and UART), carrier approvals and regional variants simplify deployment and maintenance, and its sensor integrations make it easy to build richer monitoring and operational rules in Secure GPS (including complementary workflows involving ignition or immobilizer systems via Secure GPS integrations where applicable).
