Queclink Wireless Solutions has unveiled a trailer tracker that breaks from conventional design by offering fleet operators the ability to tailor data collection to their own supply chain specifications, a shift the company says gives businesses unprecedented control over telematics customisation.
The GV650MG, a hard-wired, rugged unit, introduces an Open CAN architecture to Queclink’s line of trailer tracking devices for the first time. Unlike traditional CAN-based trackers that rely on a fixed, pre-integrated CAN library, the new device allows customers to decide precisely which vehicle data they capture and how it is configured. “What really sets the GV650MG apart is the Open CAN architecture, making it one of the most sophisticated and flexible trailer trackers in the marketplace,” said Vernon Bonser, International Sales Director at Queclink Wireless Solutions. “The device is well suited for advanced trailer applications where a road transport operator needs more than location, such as subsystem visibility, compliance-related data collection or integration with broader management platforms.”
The Controller Area Network (CAN) bus is the standard backbone for vehicle data communication, enabling electronic control units to exchange information on engine performance, fuel consumption, diagnostics and more. Where most telematics devices lock that data into a fixed set of parameters, Queclink’s open framework gives operators the freedom to select and integrate data streams according to their precise operational requirements. That flexibility, the company argues, makes it far easier to scale the solution across mixed fleets, where different vehicle types and trailer configurations may each demand different data priorities. The result, according to Queclink, is a move beyond basic GPS location tracking into deeper subsystem visibility, compliance data collection and integration with broader fleet management platforms.
Beyond its data architecture, the GV650MG has been engineered to survive the harshest operating conditions. The tracker carries a dual IP67/IP69K rating: IP67 means it is completely dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to a metre deep for 30 minutes, while the IP69K standard certifies it against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets — the kind encountered during intensive pressure washing. That ruggedness, combined with a wide-voltage support range of 8–90 V DC, makes the unit compatible with a variety of electrical equipment found in heavy-duty trailers and commercial vehicles.
Connectivity and backup power
The GV650MG uses LTE Cat-M1, a cellular IoT standard designed for low-power, low-bandwidth devices. It offers ultra-low power consumption through features such as Power Saving Mode and extended Discontinuous Reception, and provides full mobility support with deeper signal penetration for indoor and remote-area coverage. Dual-band GNSS enhances location accuracy, and an optional external antenna is available for installation under the asset, on the trailer wall or inside where signal is weak or absent. Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity enables wireless pairing with a range of pre-integrated accessories, including beacons, temperature sensors and door sensors.
A 5,800 mAh backup battery allows the tracker to operate for up to four months without external power, ensuring uninterrupted visibility even when the trailer is disconnected or parked. Queclink has also equipped the device with multiple interfaces to support additional accessories, widening its compatibility across diverse fleet setups.
Queclink, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Shanghai, describes itself as a global provider of IoT devices and hardware specialising in machine-to-machine solutions. The company serves more than 3,800 businesses worldwide across transportation, asset and mobility, networks and livestock sectors, and says it has deployed 73 million devices globally. As of March 31, 2026, it reported a trailing 12-month revenue of $147 million. The GV650MG launch follows the introduction of the GV651 — a similar high-spec tracker without the Open CAN architecture — in March 2026, and a lower-cost GV30 Series fleet telematics device in January 2026.
“We are using our longstanding expertise to bring to market high-performing and specialised hardware that is suited to complex telematics solutions,” Bonser added. “By developing these advanced technology solutions, such as the GV650MG, we are enabling deeper integration and data access for vehicle operators in a wide mix of transport-related sectors.”
