ThingSys - J16W

The J16W is a rugged, IP67-rated GPS tracker purpose-built for vehicle installations and optimized to work with Flotas control for real-time tracking and fleet management. Compact and lightweight, the J16W uses a SIMCOM A7670SA 4G LTE (CAT1) modem with 2G fallback and a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver to deliver reliable positioning and telemetry across harsh environments. As a Flotas control compatible tracker, it integrates location, ignition state, and vehicle control events into Flotas control dashboards and alerts for smooth fleet operations and anti-theft workflows.

Engineered for fleets, buses, trucks, motorcycles and other vehicles, the J16W combines broad cellular band support, robust offline storage, and power resilience to ensure continuous reporting. The J16W family includes a standard unit with ACC and relay control and a J16Wm variant that adds microphone, SOS and expanded relay functions for emergency voice/listening and remote monitoring when used with Flotas control’s incident handling and telemetry visualization.

Key Highlights

• Flotas control compatible design for seamless real-time tracking, alerts, and fleet reporting.
• 4G LTE (CAT1) connectivity with 2G fallback for global cellular coverage and reliable telemetry delivery.
• High-sensitivity GNSS (GPS + BeiDou) with better-than-10 m positioning accuracy for precise vehicle location.
• IP67 waterproof and compact form (82 × 36 × 17 mm, 55 g) for discreet, durable vehicle mounting.
• Wide input voltage range (DC 9–95 V) and 300 mAh backup battery for uninterrupted tracking and emergency reporting during power loss.
• Vehicle-specific inputs/outputs: ACC/ignition detection and relay-controlled cut/restore for immobilizer and anti-theft actions.
• Offline data storage and resend — reliable telemetry even when network connectivity is intermittent.

How It Works with Flotas control

When integrated with Flotas control, the J16W streams GNSS position and vehicle telemetry to Flotas control’s platform via GPRS/4G. Flotas control ingests location updates, status flags and I/O events from the tracker to provide real-time tracking, route playback, geofence alerts, and fleet analytics. Configuration can be performed via SMS, PC software, or production-line settings so units arrive pre-configured for Flotas control provisioning.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates for live vehicle tracking and route monitoring.
• ACC/ignition detection to monitor engine on/off events and trigger Flotas control alerts or reports.
• Relay-driven cut/restore control usable as an immobilizer or for controlled fuel/circuit shutdowns (useful in anti-theft and fuel monitoring workflows).
• Offline storage of GPS points and retransmission when the network is restored, preserving historical telemetry for Flotas control analytics.
• J16Wm variant: SOS and microphone support to enable emergency voice/listening events to be signaled into Flotas control incident workflows.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management — real-time tracking, route replay, and telemetry for buses, trucks, and service fleets.
• Vehicle security and anti-theft — ignition monitoring plus relay-based immobilizer or fuel/circuit cut to secure high-value assets.
• Remote monitoring and incident response — SOS and microphone on the J16Wm let operators receive emergency alerts and voice context via Flotas control.
• Fuel monitoring workflows — relay control and telemetry reporting support operational fuel cut/restore procedures and theft-prevention routines.
• Small vehicle and e-bike tracking — wide voltage range and compact form make the J16W suitable for motorcycles and light electric vehicles.

Why Choose This Tracker with Flotas control

The J16W is a practical choice for organizations that need a reliable, Flotas control compatible GPS tracker that withstands real-world conditions. Its IP67-rated housing, wide voltage tolerance, and built-in backup battery reduce downtime and data gaps. Combined with Flotas control’s platform capabilities, the J16W delivers actionable telemetry, ignition and immobilizer controls, and dependable offline buffering so fleet managers get continuous insight into vehicle location and status.

For deployments that require custom protocols, branding, or hardware changes, the J16W supports OEM/ODM services and multiple communication protocols so integrators can adapt device behavior to specific Flotas control workflows. If you need a compact, accurate GPS tracker for fleet management, anti-theft protection, and robust telemetry feeding directly into Flotas control, the J16W is engineered to meet those needs without unnecessary complexity.
