TopFlyTech SolarGuardX 100 — Solar-Powered GPS E-Lock for Container, Trailer and Cargo Security

The TopFlyTech SolarGuardX 100 is a solar-powered GPS padlock built for securing and tracking containers, trailers, and high-value cargo in transit. Unlike conventional padlocks, the SolarGuardX 100 combines physical security with active GPS tracking, remote locking and unlocking, and immediate tamper alerting — delivering full cargo visibility and control from departure to destination. A 14,400 mAh rechargeable Li-Polymer battery continuously topped up by an integrated solar panel provides months of autonomous operation with no manual charging required. Available from UK stock, dispatched from our London warehouse.

Overview

The SolarGuardX 100 connects via LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT across a wide range of international frequency bands, with GSM fallback for complete global coverage. Dual-constellation GNSS — GPS with Glonass or BeiDou — delivers position accuracy under 2.5 metres CEP, with real-time updates as frequent as every 3 seconds. Up to 49,000 location points are stored in the internal buffer when out of network coverage, uploading automatically on reconnection.

The padlock can be locked and unlocked through four distinct methods: remotely via over-the-air network command, by SMS, in the near field via RFID card, or wirelessly via BLE from a paired device. Every lock, unlock, and rope-cutting event triggers an immediate alarm to the server, giving logistics operators real-time visibility of any security breach anywhere in the world.

Key Features

• Solar Powered with Super Long-Life Battery — 14,400 mAh rechargeable Li-Polymer battery continuously recharged by an integrated solar panel. Months of autonomous operation without manual charging; indefinite runtime under normal outdoor sunlight.

• Multiple Unlock Methods — Lock and unlock remotely via OTA network command or SMS, or in the near field via RFID card or BLE. Full flexibility for depot operations, customs clearance, and field access.

• Security Alarms — Immediate alerts triggered on rope cutting, unauthorised unlocking, locking confirmation, and movement events. Every security event is logged and transmitted to the server in real time.

• Real-Time and Buffered Location — Location updates as frequent as every 3 seconds. Up to 49,000 points stored in buffer when out of network coverage, uploaded automatically on reconnection.

• IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof — Tested in a 5-metre water pressure environment for 15 hours. Built for outdoor use in all weather conditions across long-haul logistics and cross-border transport routes.

• ATEX Certified — Approved for use in potentially explosive and hazardous environments, including ports, refineries, and chemical facilities.

• BLE 5.0 Sensor Compatibility — Compatible with TopFlyTech's TSTH1-B temperature and humidity sensor, T-Sense temperature and door sensor, and TSR1-B wireless relay for extended cargo monitoring.

• Built-In Strong Magnet — Integrated magnet allows rapid attachment to metal containers, trailers, and vehicles without tools.

• Geofencing — Supports up to 64 internal geofence zones. Configurable lock, unlock, and rope-cut alerts based on zone entry and exit.

• Built-In Temperature Sensor — Monitors ambient conditions directly from the device.

• Data Security — MD5 and AES256 encryption over TCP, UDP, MQTT, and SMS protocols.

• FOTA Support — Remote firmware updates keep the device current without physical access.

How the SolarGuardX 100 Works?

The SolarGuardX 100 is installed onto a container door hasp, trailer latch, or cargo door using its 350mm security rope and built-in magnet. Once locked, it continuously transmits GPS location to the fleet management platform. Any attempt to cut the rope, force the lock, or tamper with the device triggers an immediate alarm. At the destination, the lock can be released remotely by the logistics operator via the platform, by SMS command, or by an authorised operative using an RFID card or BLE-paired device on site — with every access event logged and timestamped.

SolarGuardX 100 vs SolarGuardX 110 and SolarGuardX 200 — Which Model Do You Need?

All three SolarGuardX models combine solar-powered GPS tracking with integrated e-lock functionality. The SolarGuardX 100 connects via LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT — an IoT-optimised protocol suited to deployments on Cat M1 or NB-IoT enabled networks, with ATEX certification and carrier approvals for North America. The SolarGuardX 110 and SolarGuardX 200 use LTE Cat 1, offering broader band support and higher data throughput across standard LTE networks. Choose the SolarGuardX 100 for Cat M1 or NB-IoT network environments, North American deployments, or hazardous-environment use. Choose the SolarGuardX 110 or 200 for standard LTE Cat 1 network coverage.

Compatible BLE Accessories

• The SolarGuardX 100 works with TopFlyTech's BLE IoT accessories for extended cargo monitoring:

• TSTH1-B — BLE 5.0 temperature and humidity sensor for cold chain and refrigerated cargo monitoring.

• T-Sense — BLE 5.1 combined temperature and door status sensor for container and trailer door monitoring.

• TSR1-B — BLE 5.0 wireless relay for remote output control.

• T-Button — BLE key fob and panic button for driver or operative safety.

• T-Relay — BLE 5.2 hardwired relay for vehicle or equipment control.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the SolarGuardX 100 lock and unlock?

It can be locked and unlocked in four ways: remotely via an over-the-air network command from the platform, by SMS, in the near field using an RFID card, or wirelessly via BLE from a paired mobile device. Every access event is logged and timestamped.

What happens if the rope is cut?

An immediate rope-cutting alarm is sent to the monitoring server the moment the security rope is compromised, allowing operators to respond instantly to any security breach.

How long does the battery last without sunlight?

The 14,400 mAh battery lasts for months without any solar input, depending on reporting frequency. Under normal outdoor conditions with regular sunlight, the solar panel sustains the device indefinitely.

Is the SolarGuardX 100 safe for use in ports and chemical facilities?

Yes. It carries ATEX certification, making it approved for deployment in potentially explosive and hazardous environments including ports, refineries, and chemical plants.

Does it store data when out of signal coverage?

Yes. Up to 49,000 location points are saved in the internal buffer when out of network coverage and uploaded automatically when connectivity is restored.

Can it monitor cargo temperature?

Yes. Via BLE 5.0 it is compatible with the TSTH1-B temperature and humidity sensor and T-Sense temperature and door sensor, enabling cold chain and cargo condition monitoring alongside security tracking.

Does it support geofencing?

Yes. Up to 64 internal geofence zones are supported, with configurable lock, unlock, and alarm triggers based on zone entry and exit.
