GNX-6 LTE Datasheet

Sierra Wireless GNX-6 LTE

KEY BENEFITS All In One Fleet Tracking Unit with Low Energy
ŸŸ Support for LTE with fallback
to HSPA+ for performance and Bluetooth and CAN/J1708/J1939 Technology
network longevity.
The GNX-6 LTE is a highly configurable, feature rich, mobile asset tracking device
ŸŸ CAN/OBDII/J1708/J1939
designed to service a wide variety of market and industry requirements. The GNX-6
ŸŸ Dual mode Bluetooth 4.0 support
LTE is an ideal solution for Mobile Resource Management, vehicle tracking and
for devices and applications such
as HOS and driver performance many other location-aware applications and services. The GNX-6 LTE incorporates
leading edge, quality components for superior reliability including high performance
ŸŸ Support for HOS & ELD
applications internal cellular and GPS antennas (external antenna option available) and an auto-
calibrating 3-axis accelerometer for monitoring and reporting of rapid acceleration,
ŸŸ High performance internal cellular
deceleration, harsh cornering and other events.
& GPS antennas for ease and
flexibility of installation of device;
option for external antenna DUAL MODE BLUETOOTH 4.0, CAN/OBDII/J1708/J1939 SUPPORT
ŸŸ Support for driver behaviour The GNX-6 LTE supports CAN/OBDII/J1708/J1939 interfaces to enable vehicle bus
using auto-calibrating 3-axis communications. Dual mode Bluetooth 4.0 allows for integration with tablets for
accelerometer use in such applications as HOS and driver performance. The support for multiple
ŸŸ Full Garmin FMI native support vehicle buses allows for ease of installation and compatibility with a broad set of
ŸŸ Optional internal backup battery vehicles.
ŸŸ Multiple I/O for activity monitoring
and peripheral support INPUT/OUTPUT AND PERIPHERAL SUPPORT
ŸŸ Intelligent power management The GNX-6 LTE I/O capabilities enable peripheral support, multiple configurations
and monitoring including digital inputs and outputs, relays, serial and 1-wire
ŸŸ Automatic over-the-air
configuration and upgrade peripheral communications. The GNX-6 LTE supports driver ID, GPS data and other
peripheral applications.
ŸŸ Fail-safe technology
ŸŸ Voltage protection
EASY-OVER-THE AIR SERVICING /CONFIGURATION (PATENTED TECHNOLOGY)
The GNX configuration parameters and firmware are upgraded over-the-air, pushed
ACCESSORIES to the GNX using IP or SMS or autonomously pulled by the GNX from any TFTP
ŸŸ Power harness or FTP server. This allows for factory-to-installation without any configuration
ŸŸ Serial data cable required and automatic upgrade of latest firmware.
ŸŸ Garmin PND power/
communication cable
ŸŸ J-Bus cables (Deutsch 6 or 9-pin)
ŸŸ OBD II cable
