Queclink GB100CG — LTE Cat 1 Battery-Mounted GPS Tracker for UBI and Insurance Telematics

The Queclink GB100CG is the LTE Cat 1 upgrade of Queclink's proven GB100 battery-mounted tracker series — and one of the recommended replacements for the discontinued GB100P.

Combining LTE Cat 1 connectivity with a high-precision 6-axis accelerometer, IP67 waterproof enclosure and ultra-simple 2-wire installation, the GB100CG is purpose-built for usage-based insurance telematics, connected car services and fleet deployments where fast, low-cost installation is essential.

Its 6-axis sensor — combining a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope — samples driving and crash data at up to 1,600 times per second, providing the granular data quality required for accurate accident reconstruction, driver scoring and insurance risk assessment.

With BLE 5.2 for wireless accessory support and an optional eSIM alongside the nano SIM slot, the GB100CG offers exceptional flexibility for large-scale UBI deployments across diverse vehicle types.

As an authorised Queclink distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the GB100CG directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for insurance providers, telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

Key Features

• LTE Cat 1 with 2G fallback — faster and more reliable connectivity than Cat M1 for real-time data transmission, with 2G fallback ensuring coverage in areas with limited

• LTE 6-axis motion sensor up to 1,600Hz — combines a 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope for highly accurate driving behaviour monitoring, crash reconstruction and mileage logging — ideal for UBI and insurance telematics

• 2-wire battery-mounted installation — mounts directly onto the vehicle battery with just two wires, requiring no complex wiring harness and enabling fast, low-cost deployment at scale

• IP67 waterproof — fully sealed enclosure rated to IP67, enabling safe installation in the engine compartment in all weather conditions

• BLE 5.2 — connects to Bluetooth Low Energy sensors and wireless accessories for extended monitoring capabilities

• Optional eSIM — eSIM support alongside the standard nano SIM slot for flexible connectivity options in large-scale deployments

• 200mAh NiMH backup battery — maintains device operation and data logging if vehicle power is interrupted

• Virtual ignition detection — detects ignition status without requiring a direct ignition wire connection, simplifying installation

• Crash detection and reconstruction — automatically captures and transmits detailed crash data packets on impact for insurance claim evidence

• Driver behaviour monitoring — tracks harsh braking, acceleration and cornering for driver scoring and coaching

• Geofencing — configurable zone alerts when the vehicle enters or exits defined areas

• Tow alarm — triggers an alert if the vehicle is moved without ignition

• OTA updates — remote firmware and configuration management without physical device access

GB100CG vs GB130MG — Which Should You Choose?

Both the GB100CG and GB130MG are battery-mounted UBI trackers from Queclink with 2-wire installation and IP67 waterproofing. The key difference is cellular technology — the GB100CG uses LTE Cat 1, which offers faster data speeds than the Cat M1 used in the GB130MG, making it better suited for applications requiring higher data throughput. The GB130MG uses Cat M1 and NB2 which offers broader global network coverage, particularly in areas where Cat 1 LTE is less available. Both are excellent choices for UBI telematics — contact us for guidance on which is best suited to your specific network and deployment requirements.

Typical Use Cases

Ideal for usage-based insurance and pay-as-you-drive telematics programmes, connected car services requiring accurate driving behaviour data, fleet deployments requiring fast low-cost installation, accident data recording and crash reconstruction for insurance claims, high-volume telematics rollouts across mixed vehicle types, and any application requiring granular driving data from a discreet, waterproof battery-mounted device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the GB100CG and the GB130MG?

Both are battery-mounted UBI trackers with 2-wire installation and IP67 waterproofing. The GB100CG uses LTE Cat 1 for faster data speeds, while the GB130MG uses LTE Cat M1 and NB2 for broader global network compatibility. Both feature a high-precision 6-axis accelerometer. Contact us for guidance on which best suits your deployment.

What is the difference between the GB100CG and the discontinued GB100P?

The GB100CG is the LTE Cat 1 upgrade of the GB100P, which was discontinued by Queclink in November 2024. The GB100CG adds LTE Cat 1 connectivity, BLE 5.2 and optional eSIM support, making it a more capable and future-proof replacement. If you are currently deploying GB100P devices, the GB100CG is the recommended replacement.

How is the GB100CG installed?

The GB100CG connects directly to the vehicle battery using just two wires — positive and negative. No ignition wire, complex wiring harness or installation engineer is required. This makes it one of the fastest trackers to deploy at scale.

Does the GB100CG require a SIM card?

The GB100CG supports a standard nano SIM card and also offers an optional eSIM for deployments where a physical SIM is not practical. It is not supplied with a SIM. Contact us for SIM recommendations for UK and international deployments.

Can I buy the GB100CG in bulk from Tracking Hardware UK?

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