GlobalTrak ™ GT Lite Operation and Maintenance Manual
1.1 GT Lite Overview
The GlobalTrak GT Lite enables location tracking and monitoring of assets in real-time or near
real-time over GSM. Using a high sensitivity Assisted GPS receiver, this can be done from
within containers or trailers with no external antenna and no need for line of sight to the sky.
The GT Lite uses wired and wireless sensors to monitor asset status. If a sensor goes into an
alarm condition, an alarm is immediately sent to the Information Management Bureau (IMB).
Along with sensor alarms, the GT Lite sends periodic location reports using its internal GPS
module. On request polling can also be executed from the IMB. These reports are received at
the IMB where they are compared against stored routes. Using this method alarms can be
programmed to alert the operator when a shipment goes off route. All batteries needed to
keep the GT Lite operational are enclosed in the body of the main unit.
Feature List
The product is designed to monitor fixed and mobile assets and report important sensory
events regardless of its location. This is accomplished by equipping the GT Lite with the
following features:
a) Communications: The GT Lite can communicate bidirectionally over the GSM cellular
network.
b) Optional Satellite Communications: The GT Lite has the option to add Orbcomm or
Iridium satellite communication.
c) Optional RFID: The GT Lite has the option to add Wavecom or SAVI active RFID or
GEN2 passive RFID.
d) Sensor Suite: The GT Lite has sensors to send alarms in the event of unusual or
unexpected shock, light, door open, temperature or device tampering.
e) Simple Installation: There is as little as one component to install anywhere inside or
outside of an asset.
f) Location Reporting: The on board high sensitivity Assisted GPS receiver calculates its
position within a few meters of accuracy even from within containers or trailers.
g) Industrial Grade: High temperature rating (-40°C to +85°C) and minimum IEC shock
and vibration rating.
h) ZigBee Equipped: The wireless standard for low-power short-range bi-directional
communications, suitable for mesh networks and sensor reads.
Asset Tracking and Monitoring
GT Lite communicates all information to the Information Management Bureau (IMB), a server-
based application used by operators and customers to track and monitor assets equipped with
the GT Lite. The interaction between the IMB and the GT Lite is based on the existing
GlobalTrak V3d protocol, enabling polling of the device, over-the-air configuration, scheduled
and event reporting.
