GH5200

Teltonika GH5200 — Autonomous Personal GPS Tracker for Lone Worker Safety and Workforce Management

The Teltonika GH5200 is a purpose-built autonomous personal GPS tracker designed for the most important tracking application of all — the safety of people. Specifically developed for lone workers, healthcare visitors, maintenance technicians, security personnel, agricultural workers and anyone who performs their duties without close or direct supervision, the GH5200 meets the latest UK and EU legislation for lone worker safety and protection in a compact, lightweight device that can be worn on a lanyard, clipped to a belt or placed in a pocket.

Two-way voice communication turns the GH5200 into a direct communication device as well as a tracker — allowing supervisors to speak to workers in distress, and workers to call for help, without needing a separate mobile phone. Five configurable buttons allow each organisation to programme their own emergency scenarios — one button to call a supervisor, another to send an SMS alert, another to activate an Amber Alert — tailored to each deployment's specific safety requirements. Man-down detection via the built-in accelerometer and gyroscope automatically triggers an emergency alert if the wearer falls and fails to get up, ensuring help is dispatched immediately even if the worker cannot press a button.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the GH5200 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, workforce management operators and resellers.

Key Features

• Two-way voice communication — built-in microphone and speaker enable direct two-way voice calls between the worker and supervisor without a separate mobile phone — a critical safety feature for lone worker legislation compliance

• Man-down detection — built-in accelerometer and gyroscope detect when the wearer falls and fails to get up within a configured time, automatically triggering an emergency alert for immediate response

• Five configurable buttons — five programmable buttons allow each organisation to configure their own emergency scenarios including SOS calls, Amber Alerts, action-on-call, tracking on demand, SMS notifications and more

• Bluetooth 4.0 LE — connects to Teltonika EYE Sensors and EYE Beacons for PPE compliance monitoring — detecting whether workers are wearing mandatory protective equipment and alerting supervisors if required items are missing

• Inactivity detection — triggers an alert if the device shows no movement for a configured period, indicating the worker may be incapacitated or in difficulty

• Three configurable LED indicators — programmable LED lights provide visual status information to the worker and bystanders

• Accelerometer and gyroscope — precise motion sensing for man-down detection, fall detection and movement monitoring

• GNSS and LBS dual positioning — GPS for accurate outdoor positioning and LBS cell tower triangulation for indoor and building location tracking

• 2G GSM connectivity — real-time location and event data transmission to the fleet or workforce management platform

• 1,050mAh Li-ion battery — up to 7 days battery life with optimal configuration, ensuring all-week protection without daily recharging

• Micro SIM with eSIM option — standard micro SIM slot with optional eSIM for flexible connectivity

• Compact and wearable design — 93 x 64 x 10mm, 80g — slim enough to wear on a lanyard, clip to a belt or carry in a pocket throughout a full working day

• 128MB internal memory — stores data locally when out of coverage

• OTA updates — remote firmware and configuration management via FOTA Web

PPE Compliance Monitoring with EYE Beacons

The GH5200 can be combined with Teltonika EYE Beacons attached to protective equipment — hard hats, safety vests, gloves and other mandatory PPE items. The GH5200 periodically scans for the presence of configured EYE Beacons via Bluetooth LE. If a mandatory item of PPE is missing — not worn by the worker — an immediate alert is triggered to the supervisor and optionally to the worker themselves via LED and buzzer. This provides real-time, automated PPE compliance monitoring across construction sites, manufacturing facilities and any environment where PPE is legally required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What lone worker legislation does the GH5200 help with?

The GH5200 is designed to meet the requirements of UK lone worker safety legislation including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and associated guidance from the Health and Safety Executive, which requires employers to assess and manage the risks faced by lone workers. Its two-way voice communication, man-down detection, SOS alerts and real-time location tracking provide the monitoring and emergency response capability required under duty of care obligations.

How does man-down detection work?

The GH5200 uses its built-in accelerometer and gyroscope to detect when the device changes angle significantly — indicating the wearer has fallen. If the wearer does not recover their upright position within a configured time period, an emergency alert is automatically transmitted to the monitoring platform and nominated contacts, even if the worker is unable to press a button.

Can the GH5200 make and receive phone calls?

Yes — the built-in microphone and speaker support two-way voice calls. Each of the five configurable buttons can be programmed to call a specific number — a supervisor, emergency contact or control room — allowing workers to make calls without needing a separate mobile phone.

Can supervisors speak to the worker via the GH5200?

Yes — the GH5200 supports incoming calls as well as outgoing calls, enabling supervisors to initiate two-way voice communication with the worker directly through the device.

Can I buy the GH5200 in bulk from Tracking Hardware UK?

Yes — we supply telematics service providers, workforce management operators and resellers across the UK and internationally. Volume pricing and trade accounts are available. Contact us for a bulk quote.

Does the GH5200 support driver identification keypads?

The GH5200 is a handheld personal tracker, so it does not connect to vehicle keypads. If you need driver identification for vehicles, pair a vehicle tracker such as the Teltonika FMB920 or FMC130 with an iButton, RFID or BLE driver identification keypad — Tracking Hardware UK stocks both.
