LT-501E LoRa GPS Tracker
The LT-501E is a compact, Net Domain Technologies compatible LoRa GPS tracker designed for reliable personal use and asset tracking in both indoor and outdoor environments. Engineered for long battery life and flexible deployments, the LT-501E combines LoRaWAN connectivity with built-in BLE beacon support and motion sensing to deliver accurate location, timely alerts, and low-power telemetry for IoT and M2M applications.
The device supports LoRaWAN™ Class A and Class C and is optimized for Net Domain Technologies integration, enabling real-time tracking, geofencing, power alerts, and remote configuration from the Net Domain Technologies dashboard. Lightweight and rechargeable, the LT-501E is easy to carry or mount on equipment and includes features such as a buzzer for audible alerts, a 3-axis accelerometer for motion detection, and optional external GPS antenna support.
Key Highlights
- Net Domain Technologies compatible GPS tracker with LoRaWAN Class A/C for low-power long-range connectivity.
- Built-in BLE for beacon-based indoor positioning and pairable Bluetooth sensors to extend telemetry.
- Long battery life—up to 130 days at a 5-minute GPS reporting interval with optional 19A battery.
- Compact, lightweight IPX7-rated enclosure for easy mounting and outdoor use (when sealed).
- Remote configuration capabilities (report interval, GPS on/off, buzzer control, ping) for flexible deployment management via Net Domain Technologies.
- 3-axis accelerometer and buzzer provide motion detection and audible alerts for anti-theft and personal safety use cases.
- Robust LoRa link performance with Semtech SX-1276 chipset and receive sensitivity down to -128 dBm at 980 bps.
How It Works with Net Domain Technologies
When deployed with Net Domain Technologies, the LT-501E sends uplink messages over LoRaWAN to your configured network server, where Net Domain Technologies decodes and maps location and telemetry in near real-time. Net Domain Technologies can visualize GPS positions, process BLE beacon proximity for indoor location, raise geofence alerts, and surface power or help-report events to operations teams. Downlinks from Net Domain Technologies enable remote configuration and control of reporting behavior to balance responsiveness and battery life.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered from LoRaWAN uplinks to Net Domain Technologies.
- BLE beacon proximity and accelerometer-based motion events for indoor/outdoor context.
- Power-low and power-off alerts routed to Net Domain Technologies alerts and notifications.
- Remote configuration (reporting interval, GPS enable/disable, buzzer control, ping) via Net Domain Technologies downlinks.
- Geofence and help-report events handled by Net Domain Technologies to trigger workflows or dispatch.
