Queclink GV500CNA — Compact LTE Cat 1 bis OBD Tracker Designed for North America

The Queclink GV500CNA is Queclink's latest compact OBD tracker built specifically for the North American market — a direct evolution of the GV500CG, adapted with LTE Cat 1 bis technology and North American frequency band certifications for reliable operation across US and Canadian networks. At one third smaller than previous Queclink OBD products, the GV500CNA is one of the most discreet OBD trackers available — designed to plug into any vehicle's OBD-II port without drawing attention or creating fitment issues.

Equipped with BLE 5.1 for wireless accessory connectivity, nano SIM and eSIM support, virtual ignition detection, a built-in backup battery for tamper alerting and a full set of driver behaviour and crash detection features, the GV500CNA delivers a comprehensive connected car and insurance telematics platform in an ultra-compact, cost-effective device. Its plug-and-play installation draws power directly from the vehicle battery via the OBD port — no manual charging, no wiring, no installation engineer required.

As an authorised Queclink distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the GV500CNA directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for insurance providers, telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers deploying in North America.

Driver Identification with Tracking Hardware UK BLE Keypad

The GV500CNA supports BLE 5.1 and is compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Drivers enter their unique PIN or present their card at the start of each trip, and the driver ID is logged alongside all tracking and behaviour data — enabling driver accountability with no wiring required.

GV500CNA vs GV500CG — Which Should You Choose?

The GV500CNA and GV500CG share the same ultra-compact form factor and core feature set. The GV500CNA is specifically designed and certified for the North American market with LTE Cat 1 bis and North American frequency bands, and adds BLE 5.1 versus BLE on the GV500CG, plus nano SIM and eSIM support. For US and Canada deployments, the GV500CNA is the correct choice. For European and global deployments, the GV500CG is the recommended device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the GV500CNA and the GV500CG?

The GV500CNA is the North American version of the GV500CG — certified for US and Canada with LTE Cat 1 bis and North American frequency bands. It also adds BLE 5.1 and nano SIM plus eSIM support. For North American deployments choose the GV500CNA. For European and global deployments choose the GV500CG.

What is LTE Cat 1 bis?

LTE Cat 1 bis is an evolution of LTE Cat 1 that uses a single antenna instead of two, reducing device cost and size while maintaining the same data speeds. It is increasingly the preferred LTE standard for compact IoT and telematics devices where size and cost efficiency are priorities.

Does the GV500CNA support remote vehicle immobilisation?

Yes — via BLE 5.1, the GV500CNA can connect to a compatible wireless relay for remote vehicle immobilisation without any additional wiring, making it a strong choice for car rental and leasing operators needing keyless vehicle control.

Is the GV500CNA compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad?

Yes — the GV500CNA supports BLE 5.1 and is compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Contact us for keypad and GV500CNA bundle pricing.

Does the GV500CNA need a SIM card?

The GV500CNA supports both a nano SIM and a built-in eSIM. It is not supplied with a SIM. Contact us for SIM recommendations for North American deployments.
