Introduction

This page consolidates validated, product‑page specifications for Geoforce’s tracker families used in rugged field operations. It compares power, connectivity, certifications, service life, operating temperatures (where published), and prime use cases across GT, AT, VT/GO vehicle telematics, and dash cam lines. Sources are first‑party Geoforce product pages, datasheets, and case studies linked throughout.

Notes: “n/p” indicates not published on cited product materials. When service life is profile‑dependent, expect variation with reporting frequency and install conditions.

Device notes and prime use cases

GT0 — smallest industrial‑grade satellite tag

• Fully sealed, IP68/IP69K with optional metal bezel; certified for Zone 0 hazardous use; battery‑powered for multi‑year installs. GT0, Why hazardous certifications matter, Device comparison

• Ideal for non‑powered assets prone to loss: heavy attachments, buckets, containers, trailers. Bejac prevented $30k–$300k losses per bucket. Bejac case study

• Field configuration via BLE simplifies sealed designs. BLE in industrial applications

GT1s — world‑class rugged, intrinsically safe satellite tracker

• IP68/IP69K, Zone 0 (ATEX/IECEx), MIL‑STD tested; global satellite connectivity; multi‑year battery life. GT1s

• Use on tanks, rail cars, containers, cargo units, sand traps; proven in oil & gas and mining. GT1s

GT2h — solar hybrid, automatic cellular→satellite failover

• Solar‑rechargeable plus backup battery for up to 10 years; IP68/IP69K; Zone 0; two‑way comms; BLE. GT2h

• Best when assets move between cell coverage and remote leases (ISO containers, rail cars, frac tanks). GT2h

GT2s — solar satellite with published thermal envelope

• Up to 10 years, two‑way Iridium, IP68/IP69K, Zone 0; operating range −40°F to 185°F (Zone 0 to 149°F); HALT tested. GT2s datasheet PDF

• Choose for pole‑to‑pole visibility on remote tanks, trailers, rail, and containers. GT2s datasheet PDF

AT2 — solar, satellite (Globalstar), ERT capable

• Self‑contained solar satellite tracker with engine runtime reporting; up to 8 years service. AT2

• Light towers, generators, cargo units, totes, containers, trailers in off‑grid environments. AT2

AT3 — ultra‑low power cellular

• LTE‑M/NB‑IoT; IP69 housing; 2×AA lithium cells; up to 10‑year battery life (config‑dependent); GPS + Wi‑Fi proximity. AT3

• Broad non‑powered coverage: trailers, railcars, spools, tanks, roll‑offs; rapid recovery using “repo mode.” AT3, Repo mode

AT4 — wired cellular equipment tracker (engine hours)

• IP68; MIL‑STD‑202G/810F; SAE J1455; engine runtime and start/stop; 1‑min reporting when moving; LTE Cat 1/M1; backup battery for outages. AT4

• Powered portable equipment: generators, light towers, pumps. Backup battery endurance reference: months‑level on battery only. Device comparison

AT4h — wired hybrid cellular/satellite for roaming powered assets

• Reports every minute on cellular and every 15 minutes on satellite when in motion; 12‑hour backup battery after power loss. AT4h

• For powered equipment that routinely leaves coverage and requires uninterrupted visibility. AT4h

VT1 — compact OBD‑II vehicle tracker (cellular)

• LTE Cat M1; driver behavior (harsh events), runtime, frequent location; OTA updates; quick, tool‑free install. VT1

GO9 / GO Rugged — advanced vehicle telematics + ELD

• Plug‑and‑play (GO9) with rich engine diagnostics, HOS/ELD, DVIR; ruggedized variant (GO Rugged) rated IP67/68/69K and −40°C to 85°C for harsh environments. GO9, GO Rugged, ELD/HOS

Dash Cams — AI‑enabled driver safety

• Dual‑facing (in‑cab/road) video, proactive alerts (ADAS), live stream, video retrieval up to 30 days, up to four auxiliary cameras. Dash cams

Selection guidance by environment and asset

• Remote/off‑grid, hazardous (Zone 0): prefer satellite (GT1s, GT2s) or hybrid (GT2h, AT4h). GT1s, GT2s, GT2h, AT4h

• Mixed coverage corridors: hybrid solar (GT2h) ensures auto failover without service calls. GT2h

• Yard/metro, non‑powered assets at scale: cellular AT3 (10‑year potential life, IP69) for bins/roll‑offs, trailers, spools. AT3

• Powered equipment with telematics/engine hours: AT4 (wired) or AT4h (wired hybrid). AT4, AT4h

• Vehicles and compliance: GO9/GO Rugged + VT1, with ELD/HOS, DVIR, safety scorecards; add dash cams for risk reduction. GO9, GO Rugged, Driver Scorecard, Dash cams

Certifications and durability

• Intrinsic safety (Zone 0): continuous safe operation in explosive atmospheres; required for many oil & gas and mining sites. Why Zone 0 matters

• Ingress protection: IP68 (dust‑tight, submersion) and IP69K (high‑pressure washdown) support frequent pressure‑washing and offshore use. Why hazardous certifications matter

• HALT testing and rugged construction (e.g., GT2s) underpin longevity in extreme thermal/vibration/salt‑fog conditions. GT2s datasheet PDF

Software, APIs, and operational modules

• Track & Trace dashboards: real‑time maps, geofences, utilization, trip history. Track and Trace

• Rental Manager: GPS‑verified days‑on‑site for invoice accuracy and revenue recovery. Rental Manager

• Compliance Manager: certification tracking, compliance check library, alerting. Compliance Manager

• Developer APIs (GraphQL) to integrate devices/assets data into ERPs/BI; includes online query tools. Developer APIs

Deployment and field tools

• Mobile Field Tool and Device Manager enable wireless setup (BLE), health checks, and OTA configuration for sealed devices. Mobile tools, BLE explainer

• Installation and field services available (train‑the‑trainer or on‑site), with pre‑deployment planning for hazardous zones. Installation & Deployment
