The GPT50 is an ultra long-life GPS tracking device designed for multi-year in-transit monitoring of assets, vehicles, cargo, and as a pallet tracking device. Equipped with a 24,000 mAh battery and power-efficient technology, it can operate for up to 5–8 years in the field without recharging (up to ~10 years in ideal conditions). The GPT50 supports global positioning and connectivity – using GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo for location, and communicating via 4G LTE (Cat-1) with 2G GSM fallback for truly worldwide coverage. Rugged and IPX7 waterproof, this tracker is ideal for long-term deployment on trailers, containers, pallets, and other valuable assets that require reliable real-time visibility and security over extended periods.
Why Choose GPT50 – Key Highlights
Here are the reasons why the GPT50 is in a league of its own for asset tracking:
Flexible Tracking Modes for Any Situation
GPT50’s dual working modes adapt to your operational needs:
Long Standby Mode
Default mode where the device wakes on schedule (e.g., once per day) to report location and returns to sleep. Power consumption is minimized – achieving multi-year battery lifespan. Still wakes instantly for critical events (motion or light) to send alarms.
Emergency Live-Tracking Mode
When continuous updates are needed – for stolen or lost assets – remotely switch to Emergency mode via SMS, app, or server. Reports in real-time for a defined period, then automatically reverts to preserve battery life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the GPT50 be used for tracking trailers or shipping containers?
Yes. The GPT50 is ideal for tracking trailers, containers, and cargo shipments over long durations. Its multi-year battery means it will continue to report location throughout extended trips or storage, making it perfect for trailer management and supply chain visibility.
What is "Long Standby Mode" on the GPT50?
“Long Standby Mode” is the low-power operational mode where GPT50 reports location data once per day (or user-defined interval). The device sleeps most of the time to conserve energy, achieving extraordinary battery life by minimizing communication frequency.
Is the GPT50's battery rechargeable?
No, GPT50 uses a non-rechargeable high-capacity battery designed for one-time deployment with 5–8 years lifespan (up to ~10 years in ideal conditions). Once depleted, the device is replaced. For rechargeable options, consider our GPT46 model.
Can I switch the tracker to real-time tracking if needed?
Yes. You can remotely switch GPT50 to Emergency Mode for continuous tracking when needed. This can be done via server platform, mobile app, or SMS. Real-time tracking consumes battery faster, so use only when necessary.
Can I purchase GPT50 in bulk? What's the lead time?
Yes, we fulfill large orders with MOQ around 100 pieces. Production capacity up to 30,000 units/month. Bulk orders typically delivered within 1-2 weeks. OEM branding options available.
Does the GPT50 require monthly subscription fees?
No. Eelink charges no monthly fees for GPT50. The only cost is your SIM card’s data plan from your mobile provider. Use our free Keelin platform or integrate with your own system.
