Queclink GL53MG — Micro-Sized LTE Cat M1 Covert Asset Tracker with 3-Year Battery

The Queclink GL53MG is the upgraded LTE Cat M1 and NB2 version of Queclink's proven GL50MG — a micro-sized IP67 waterproof covert asset tracker that integrates the latest low-power wide area network standards for broader global coverage and greater deployment flexibility than its 2G predecessor. Its compact form factor enables truly covert installation in vehicles, assets and equipment where standard trackers cannot be hidden, and its 2,400mAh battery provides up to 3 years of standby time — making it a reliable, long-life tracking solution for SVR, auto financing, lot management and asset monitoring applications.

A programmable button adds significant practical value for field deployments — configurable as an emergency alert or status check trigger, it allows drivers or operators to instantly verify device status or send an alert without any technical knowledge. BLE 5.1 provides wireless accessory connectivity, and three intelligent operating modes with automatic mode switching optimise battery life without compromising tracking performance during active periods.

As an authorised Queclink distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the GL53MG directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for SVR specialists, auto finance companies, asset managers and resellers.
