BLE RoadWired: real-time GPS for the vehicle — and a mobile BLE gateway for everything around it. One device. Two jobs. Zero charging.
Wire it in once and it never asks for anything again. BLE RoadWired hardwires into your asset's power — battery, ignition, or a constant feed — and reports a fresh GPS fix every 30 seconds on the move. And while it tracks the vehicle, its BLE 5.0 radio reads nearby GPX AssetTags (BLE) — so every truck, forklift, and semi-trailer becomes a roaming gateway for the tagged assets around it.
It's built for powered assets — vehicles, forklifts in your facilities, semi-trailers, heavy equipment — in an IP68 waterproof, dustproof case. And if primary power is disconnected or fails, a 5200 mAh backup battery keeps it reporting and scanning until power comes back.
It tracks the vehicle. The vehicle tracks everything else.
BLE RoadWired reports over 4G LTE (Cat-M1 / NB-IoT) — a fresh fix every 30 seconds moving, hourly parked, with intervals you can change remotely from the GPX platform. Between fixes, its Bluetooth radio is listening: every GPX AssetTag (BLE) it passes gets its location updated, automatically. A forklift doing its rounds becomes a rolling inventory count.
The device in action
Live tracking · BLE gateway · PowerOne wired-in device. A whole fleet's worth of visibility.
Two jobs, one device
Robust, real-time GPS tracking for the host vehicle or equipment — and a mobile gateway that detects and reports the location of nearby BLE-tagged assets.
Real-time reporting
A fresh GPS fix every 30 seconds while moving and hourly while parked, by default — or set 5-minute, 15-minute, hourly, or daily intervals remotely from the GPX platform.
A roaming BLE gateway
Its BLE 5.0 radio reads nearby GPX AssetTags (BLE) — tools, pallets, inventory, sensor tags — so a forklift doing its rounds updates the location of everything it drives past.
Powered by the vehicle
Hardwired to DC 9–36 V — any 12 V or 24 V vehicle or powered asset. Continuous operation with no battery to charge, swap, or think about.
5200 mAh backup battery
If primary power is disconnected or fails, the internal battery keeps GPS reports and BLE scanning running — up to 3 years of standby at one report per day.
Simple 2–3 wire install
A straightforward harness connects to the battery, ignition, or another constant power source. Wire it in once and it disappears into the asset.
IP68, built for abuse
Waterproof and dustproof in a rugged sealed case, rated -4 °F to 158 °F — at home under a semi-trailer, on a forklift, or bolted to yard equipment.
Scout AI on watch
Scout AI geofences every site in seconds — the moment a vehicle leaves the yard off-schedule, you know, and the live 30-second trail is already running.

BLE RoadWired is built for powered assets — vehicles, forklifts, semi-trailers, heavy equipment — where wired power means real-time tracking with nothing to charge. If your asset has no wiring, ships away on its own, or cycles in a returnable pool, a sibling device fits better; they all report into the same GPX platform.
AssetTag Pro
The other half of the gateway story: BLE tags for tools, pallets, and returnable containers — AssetTag Pro hardware included — that every RoadWired-equipped vehicle locates in passing.

AssetTrack Voyager
For freight that ships without your fleet: a rechargeable tracker that rides with the load — up to 7 months per charge, one-way or round trip.

MicroTrack
Smaller than a deck of cards and rechargeable — it drops inside the box and tracks high-value parcels door to door through USPS, FedEx, or UPS.

How is the BLE RoadWired different from other wired trackers?
Its ability to communicate with GPX AssetTags (BLE). Beyond tracking the vehicle itself, the BLE RoadWired precisely identifies and reports the location of nearby tagged assets — tools, pallets, inventory, and sensor tags — turning every equipped vehicle into a mobile gateway for the assets around it.
How long does the battery last?
The BLE RoadWired is designed for continuous operation: it's hardwired directly to your vehicle's or powered asset's electrical system, so there's never a battery to charge. The internal 5200 mAh battery is a backup — if primary power is disconnected or fails, it keeps reporting and BLE scanning, with up to 3 years of standby at one report per day.
How frequently does the device report?
By default, the BLE RoadWired reports its location every 30 seconds when moving and once every hour when stationary. Reporting intervals are customizable from the GPX platform, including every 5 minutes (moving or stationary), 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours.
How do I install the device?
Installation is straightforward: a simple 2–3 wire harness connects directly to your asset's power source — the battery, ignition, or another constant power supply. A mounting flange secures the IP68 case, and internal antennas mean there's nothing else to route.
Which GPX tags can it read?
The BLE RoadWired reads GPX AssetTags (BLE) — both location tags and sensor tags, including temperature and humidity sensing. Any tagged asset that comes within Bluetooth range of an equipped vehicle gets its location updated automatically on the GPX platform.
What network does the device utilize?
The BLE RoadWired leverages robust cellular networks — specifically AT&T LTE-M and T-Mobile Cat-M, the low-power 4G LTE standards built for connected devices, with EGPRS fallback — to ensure reliable data transmission virtually anywhere in the United States.
What happens if someone cuts the power?
The tracker flags the power loss and switches to its internal 5200 mAh backup battery — GPS reports and BLE scanning keep flowing. Combined with Scout AI geofencing every site in seconds, a cut wire looks less like a blind spot and more like an alarm.
Wire it in once. Track the vehicle — and everything it passes.
