Bolt 2
Plug-and-play OBDII GPS tracking device with backup battery for real-time vehicle and fleet management
- High-precision GPS tracking device plugs into existing OBDII ports for real-time tracking
- Internal backup battery – if the device is removed from power it will continue to track for a period of time
- Critical ‘unplugged/power loss’ alerts to notify users of device removal, tampering, unauthorized trips, or theft
- Speeding, harsh braking and cornering, accident and rollover detection
- Electronic Odometer Calculations
- Accelerometer for adaptive and movement-based tracking
- Plug and play or splitter installation options
Features
CONNECTIVITY

| LTE-M / NB-IoT | Nordic nRF9160 Modem operates on all major global LTE-M and NB-IoT bands Supported LTE bands: LTE-M (Cat-M1): B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8, B12, B13, B14, B17, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66 NB-IoT (Cat-NB1/NB2): B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B8, B12, B13, B17, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B66 |
| SIM Size & Access | Internal Nano 4FF SIM |
LOCATION
| GNSS Module | UBLOX EVA-M8Q with TCXO |
| Constellation | Concurrent GPS / GLONASS / Galileo |
| Channels | 72 Channel High Sensitivity Receiver |
| Tracking Sensitivity | -167dBm industry-leading tracking performance |
| *Location Accuracy | ~2.0m CEP, 50%, 24 hours static, GPS, SBAS, -130dBm, > 6SVs |
| GNSS Assistance | GNSS almanac data for greater sensitivity and position accuracy |
| Low Noise Amplifier | GPS signals are boosted by a unique low-noise amplifier (LNA) allowing operation where other units fail |
POWER
| Input Voltage | 8-36V DC (max). OBDII connector draws power from vehicle’s OBD port |
| Self-Resetting Fuse | Built-in self-resetting fuse makes installation simple and safe. Stringent automotive power “load dump” tests are conducted to ensure operation in the harshest electrical systems. |
| Operating Current | ~25/50mA when moving |
| Sleep Current | <1mA |
| Backup Battery | 200mAh LiPo internal backup battery pack |
MECHANICS / DESIGN
| Dimensions | 71 x 46 x 24 mm (2.8 x 1.81 x 0.94″) |
| Weight | 48 g (1.69 oz) |
| Housing | ABS Polycarbonate Plastic. Non-branded housing for optional white-labeling. |
| Operating Temperature | -30°C to +60°C |
| Installation | OBDII standard connector draws power from the OBDII port to operate |
| GPS Antenna | Internal |
| Cellular Antenna | Internal |
| RF Antenna | Internal |
| 3-Axis Accelerometer | 3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement, high G-force events, and more |
| Diagnostic LED | Diagnostic LED signifies operation status |
| Flash Memory | Store weeks of records if device is out of cellular coverage. Storage capacity for over 10 days of continuous 30-second logging. |
| On-Board Speed and Heading |
The device continuously monitors speed and heading, allowing for over-speed alerts as well as updates on speed and heading changes. |
| On-Board Temperature | The device reports internal temperature and prevents the internal battery from charging in extreme temperatures. Internal temperature provides an indication of ambient temperature but may not always be precise. |
SMARTS
| Auto-APN | Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware |
| Accident & Rollover Detection | Configure accident and rollover alerts triggered by extreme changes in velocity and orientation of vehicle or equipment. Second-by-second GPS data is saved on the device’s flash memory, with a capacity of approximately 2 hours of data. In the event of an accident, a subset of the data (60 seconds before / 10 seconds after) is uploaded to the server automatically (if configured) or can be requested manually for a detailed reconstruction of the incident. |
| Driver Safety & Behavior | Monitor speeding, harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, idling, and more to improve safety and prevent unnecessary wear on vehicles |
| Geofence Alerts | The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations |
| Preventative Maintenance | Set reminders based on distance traveled and run hours to reduce maintenance and repair costs |
| Real-Time Tracking | Device remains continuously connected while on the move for real-time asset tracking |
| Run Hour Monitoring | Calculate run hours and distance traveled (odometer) to understand and optimize asset utilization |
| Tamper/Removal Detection | Critical ‘unplugged/power loss’ alerts to notify users of device removal, tampering, unauthorized trips, or theft |
| Theft Recovery | Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval |
DEVICE MANAGEMENT
| Flexible Configuration | Configure device parameters such as position update rate, movement and accelerometer settings, and more to fit any tracking application |
| Device Management Platform | Manage, monitor, configure, debug, update, and restart devices remotely from our cloud-based device management system |
| Configuration App | Configurable with DM-Link provisioning tool |
INTEGRATION
| Third-Party Integration | TCP Direct or HTTPS Webhook |
SECURITY
| Data Security | Military-level AES-256 Encryption from device to OEM Server to protect the integrity and confidentiality of telematics data. Data forwarded to third-party systems is sent via HTTPS for end-to-end security. |
WARRANTY
| Manufacturer’s Warranty | Two-year manufacturer’s warranty. Exclusions apply. |
