ATEL AT10 Hardwired Vehicle & Fleet Tracker

Hardwired vehicle tracker with starter inhibit and driver behaviour I/O.

The ATEL AT10 is a hardwired LTE Cat-M1/NB-IoT/GPRS vehicle and fleet tracker for project deployments requiring continuous power, ignition detection, and remote starter inhibit. With an 8-pin I/O cable harness, internal Li-ion backup battery, BLE 5.0, and a 3-axis accelerometer for driver behaviour monitoring, the AT10 fits vehicle financing, fleet management, and stolen vehicle recovery applications where always-on tracking and remote vehicle control are required.

Four SKU variants — match the project

The AT10 is available in four configurations:

• AT10-2 — LTE Cat-M1
• AT10-2U — LTE Cat-M1 with external UBLOX GPS for high-sensitivity applications
• AT10-5 — LTE Cat-M1 plus GPRS (2G) fallback
• AT10-5U — LTE Cat-M1 plus GPRS, with external UBLOX GPS

The dual-connectivity variants (AT10-5, AT10-5U) maintain coverage in regions where Cat-M1 rollout is incomplete and provide 2G fallback for redundancy.

Vehicle control I/O

The AT10’s 8-pin built-in flat cable supports two power lines, two UART channels (RX/TX), and four configurable I/O pins handling ignition detection, starter inhibit, and GPIO functions. The starter inhibit I/O uses a 500 mA sink-current relay driver for direct connection to a vehicle’s ignition relay — enabling remote vehicle disable for stolen vehicle recovery, finance default scenarios, or operational lockout. An optional internal buzzer can be specified for driver-warning applications.

Driver behaviour monitoring

The 3-axis accelerometer enables motion detection, harsh acceleration and braking events, speeding alerts, and impact detection — feeding directly into fleet management and insurance telematics use cases. Reports can be triggered periodically or in response to events including towing, battery removal, geo-fence violations, and harsh driving conditions. Up to 16 geo-fences (polygon or circle) trigger immediate notifications.

Continuous operation with backup

Wired to vehicle power (8V–36V), the AT10 delivers continuous tracking with over-voltage and over-current protection (resettable fuse). The internal Li-ion backup battery maintains operation for up to 4 hours after disconnection from main power — sufficient to detect and report towing events, battery tampering, or unauthorised power removal.

Configurable to your project

Pre-configured application software, an extended AT command set, and over-the-air firmware updates let the AT10 be tuned without specialist programming. Reports can be triggered periodically or on motion, speeding, harsh events, geo-fence violations, and battery status. For project-specific requirements — custom server endpoints, bespoke reporting protocols, or non-standard event triggers — TITAN works directly with ATEL to spec custom firmware for your deployment.

Managed by A·TRACS or integrated direct

A·TRACS is ATEL’s enterprise cloud platform, offering device management, firmware-over-the-air (FOTA), geo-fence administration, and event notifications via the A.RMS portal. Devices can report to A·TRACS, to your own platform via REST API, or to both — giving you a managed-cloud starting point with a clear path to direct integration as your deployment scales.
