Queclink GB130MG — LTE Battery-Mounted GPS Tracker for Usage-Based Insurance Telematics

The Queclink GB130MG is the LTE upgrade of Queclink's proven GB100P — one of the most widely deployed usage-based insurance telematics devices in the world. Designed from the ground up to minimise installation time and cost, the GB130MG mounts directly onto the vehicle's battery using just two wires, making it one of the fastest trackers to deploy across large vehicle fleets.

Its IP67 waterproof enclosure and backup battery allow it to be installed directly in the engine compartment — where it maintains stable and reliable performance even in harsh conditions. A high-precision 6-axis accelerometer samples accident and driving data at up to 1,600 times per second, providing the granular data quality required for insurance telematics, accident reconstruction and driver behaviour scoring programmes.

With built-in BLE 5.2 for wireless accessory connectivity and LTE Cat M1 and NB2 with 2G fallback, the GB130MG is equally suitable for usage-based insurance, fleet management and asset monitoring applications.

As an authorised Queclink distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the GB130MG directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for insurance providers, telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

Key Features

• Self-fit battery-mounted installation — mounts directly onto the vehicle battery with just two wires, no complex wiring harness or installation engineer required, significantly reducing deployment cost per vehicle

• LTE Cat M1 and NB2 with 2G fallback — global connectivity ensures reliable data transmission across the UK and internationally, including in areas with limited LTE coverage

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

• 6-axis accelerometer up to 1,600Hz — high-precision accelerometer samples driving and crash data at up to 1,600 times per second, enabling accurate accident reconstruction and driver behaviour scoring

• Accelerometer self-calibration — automatically calibrates to the installed orientation, eliminating the need for manual calibration during installation

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

• Crash detection and data packet — automatically captures and transmits a crash data packet when an impact is detected, providing detailed evidence for insurance claims

• Driving behaviour monitoring — tracks harsh braking, acceleration and cornering events for driver scoring and coaching programmes

• Jamming detection — alerts when GPS signal interference is detected

• Tow alarm — triggers an alert if the vehicle is moved without ignition, protecting against unauthorised towing

• Geofencing — configurable geofence zones with automatic alerts on entry or exit

• BLE 5.2 — connects to external Bluetooth sensors and accessories for extended monitoring capabilities including temperature and driver identification

• Internal backup battery — maintains device operation and data logging if the vehicle battery is disconnected

• Up to 10,000 buffer messages — stores data locally when out of network coverage and transmits on reconnection

• OTA control — remote firmware and configuration updates without physical access to the device

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the GB130MG installed?

The GB130MG is designed for self-fit installation. It mounts directly onto the vehicle battery using just two wires — positive and negative. No additional wiring harness, ignition wire or complex installation is required. This makes it one of the fastest and most cost-effective trackers to deploy at scale.

Does the GB130MG work in the engine compartment?

Yes — the GB130MG is specifically designed for engine compartment installation. Its IP67 waterproof enclosure and wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C ensure stable performance in the heat and conditions of a vehicle engine bay.

What makes the GB130MG suitable for insurance telematics?

The GB130MG features a high-precision 6-axis accelerometer that samples driving and crash data at up to 1,600 times per second — providing the data quality required for accurate driver scoring, accident reconstruction and UBI (usage-based insurance) programmes. Its self-fit installation also dramatically reduces the cost of deploying telematics across large vehicle fleets.

Does the GB130MG detect ignition without an ignition wire?

Yes — the GB130MG uses virtual ignition detection, which identifies ignition status without requiring a direct connection to the ignition circuit. This further simplifies installation and reduces deployment time.

Does the GB130MG require a SIM card?

Yes — the GB130MG requires a SIM card with LTE Cat M1 or NB2 data capability. It is not supplied with a SIM. Contact us if you need SIM recommendations for UK fleet or insurance telematics deployments.

Can I buy the GB130MG 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.
