Introduction
In today’s dynamic fleet management landscape, maintaining continuous oversight and ensuring operational efficiency are paramount. Jimi IoT is proud to announce the launch of the VL505 LTE OBDII GNSS Tracker, a breakthrough solution designed to elevate vehicle tracking for both private cars and commercial fleets. This new product release highlights an ultra-compact, plug-and-play design, robust real-time connectivity, and comprehensive alert capabilities that set a new standard in tracking technology.

Ultra-Compact Design for Seamless Integration
One of the most significant advancements of the VL505 is its ultra-compact design. Compared to its predecessor, the VL502, which measures 61.0 x 52.0 x 26.0 mm and weighs 55 grams, the VL505 has been engineered to be considerably smaller and lighter. With dimensions of only 45.0 x 30.0 x 22.5 mm and a weight of just 26 grams, the VL505 fits discreetly into a vehicle’s OBDII port. This reduction in size not only enhances its stealth but also minimizes any impact on the vehicle’s aesthetics and balance, making it ideal for a wide range of automotive applications.
Real-Time 4G LTE Connectivity with GSM Fallback
Reliable, uninterrupted data transmission is crucial for effective fleet management. The VL505 leverages 4G LTE connectivity to ensure that real-time tracking data is continuously relayed to a central cloud platform. In scenarios where LTE signals are weak or unavailable, the device automatically switches to GSM (2G) as a fallback, guaranteeing persistent connectivity. This dual-network capability is essential for maintaining robust communication across diverse environments, enabling fleet managers to monitor vehicle locations and operational statuses around the clock.
Advanced Multi-Source Positioning for Precise Tracking
Accurate location tracking is the cornerstone of modern vehicle monitoring systems. The VL505 incorporates a synergy of multiple positioning technologies, including GPS, BDS, AGPS, and LBS. This multi-source approach ensures that the device delivers highly accurate positioning data, even in challenging conditions such as urban canyons or areas with limited satellite visibility. For fleet operators, this means enhanced route optimization, improved asset recovery times, and overall better management of vehicle movements.
Comprehensive Alert System for Proactive Fleet Management
The VL505 is equipped with a wide array of alert features designed to address critical operational issues. The device sends instant notifications for a variety of atypical events, such as:
- Geofencing Alerts: Receive real-time notifications when a vehicle enters or exits predefined areas.
- Unexpected Vibration Alerts: Detect potential tampering or unauthorized movements, prompting immediate action.
- Speeding Alerts: Monitor vehicle speed to encourage safe driving practices and reduce accident risks.
- Power Failure Alerts: Get alerted instantly if there is a disruption in the power supply, ensuring prompt resolution.
These alert mechanisms allow fleet managers to proactively address issues before they escalate, enhancing overall vehicle security and operational efficiency.

Integrated Driving Behavior Analysis
Understanding driver behavior is key to optimizing fleet performance and ensuring safety. The VL505 features basic driving behavior analysis that monitors events such as harsh acceleration, sudden braking, aggressive cornering, and even collisions. By providing detailed insights into driving patterns, the device enables fleet managers to identify risky behavior and implement corrective measures. This data-driven approach not only improves safety but also helps in reducing fuel consumption and minimizing wear and tear on vehicles.
Remote Listen-In Capability for Enhanced Surveillance
Another distinctive feature of the VL505 is its remote listen-in functionality. An inconspicuous built-in microphone allows fleet managers to remotely monitor ambient sounds around the vehicle. This feature can be instrumental in detecting unusual activities, such as signs of forced entry or tampering with the vehicle, providing an additional layer of security. The ability to record and analyze environmental sounds contributes to a more comprehensive monitoring system, facilitating quicker responses in case of incidents.
Wide Voltage Compatibility and Robust Operation
Designed for versatility, the VL505 OBDII Tracker operates efficiently over a wide voltage range of 9-36V, making it compatible with various vehicle models and automotive electrical systems. This broad voltage tolerance ensures that the device can be reliably deployed in different environments without the need for additional power conditioning. Its robust construction and advanced circuitry adhere to stringent industry standards, ensuring durability and consistent performance even under harsh conditions.
Ease of Installation: Plug-and-Play Convenience
Time efficiency is critical in fleet management. The VL505 OBDII Tracker is designed with a plug-and-play installation process that simplifies deployment. By simply connecting to the vehicle’s OBDII port, the device immediately draws power and begins operation, eliminating the need for complex wiring or professional installation. This ease of installation minimizes downtime and reduces overall deployment costs, making the VL505 an attractive choice for businesses looking to upgrade their tracking systems swiftly.
Streamlined Fleet Management and Cost Optimization
The VL505 is more than just a tracking device; it is a comprehensive solution that empowers fleet operators to streamline their operations and reduce costs. With real-time data at their fingertips, fleet managers can optimize routing, enhance driver safety, and implement preventive maintenance schedules. The integration of accurate location tracking, real-time alerts, and behavior analysis contributes to better resource allocation and improved operational efficiency. This, in turn, leads to lower fuel consumption, reduced insurance premiums, and minimized downtime, ultimately enhancing the profitability of fleet operations.
Conclusion
The launch of the VL505 LTE OBDII GNSS Tracker marks a significant milestone in the evolution of vehicle tracking technology. Its ultra-compact design, robust real-time connectivity, multi-source positioning, comprehensive alert system, and ease of installation make it a game-changing solution for modern fleet management. For B2B customers seeking to enhance vehicle security, optimize operational efficiency, and reduce costs, the VL505 offers a compelling combination of advanced features and practical benefits.
