1 Introduction
The LTE-V and derivatives are self-contained vehicle tracking device that combines GPS
location with LTE CAT1 cellular connectivity. It is primarily a location reporting device that
responds to requests (user, server) and events (timers, geo-fences). Data reports consist of a
single record that contains all location data and system status.
The device comes pre-configured from the factory. It is ready to use. The LTE-V appears to a
user or a server application as an endpoint device. It can be queried, updated and configured
either through a serial connection, an over the air IP connection, or through SMS messaging.
The LTE-V presents itself over these connections as an enhanced cellular modem with attached
functional elements. These elements include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
GPS location engine
Accelerometer
Input/outputs dedicated for ignition, relay, buzzer, and general purpose
Serial UART port
Timers
Watchdog lockup protection
Power management
Event reporting
Voltage monitoring
Access to these elements and general purpose interfaces is done through an extended AT
command set. Configuration parameters are stored to flash memory and are automatically used
on the next power up event. For more details, please reference the AT Command document.

GPS
GPS location functionality is provided by the device GPS receiver. NMEA GPS records can be
extracted in real time from the unit via the UART connection using special debug commands that
are outside the scope of this document.
GPIO
One dedicated input, two dedicated outputs, and one general purpose IO are presented to the
external environment on the main connector. They are capable of providing system interrupts to
generate a report or drive logic levels to external devices. These lines are 2.8V logic level and are
16V tolerant. These pins default to input and are pulled down representing 0 when disconnected.
They should be asserted to a known value if used.
LED’s
Two LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and operation. The status
LEDs are color coded and directly convey the status of the cellular and GPS subsystems as
described in the table below. Their valid operation also indicates operational status and power.

Flash Slow: GPS satellite search is in progress
Off: No power or GPS subsystem fault
On: Indicates LTE connection is made
Flash Slow: LTE subsystem initialization in progress
Flash Fast: LTE initialization but no data connection available
Off: No power or LTE subsystem fault
The LTE-V provides user control allowing the LEDs to be extinguished once installation is
verified. This feature reduces power and further conceals the LTE-V Tracker from untrained
parties wishing to defeat its operation.
UART
There are two UART’s provided. A debug UART port is provided for AT commands, data
interaction and optionally for application specific control. A second, application UART is
provided to be used as an expansion port for sensors and other peripherals
USB
The USB port is provided for provisioning or debug.
Relay Driver
A 500mA sink capable output pin is provided. This pin is meant to drive a relay coil indented to
interrupt the starter solenoid relay for the ignition circuit to a car.

Power and Battery
The battery monitor is internal analog input scaled such that the DC value of the power input
pin to the LTE-V system is measured. This value is scaled to span the most significant 8 bits of
the A/D and consequently covers a scale from 0 to 25.5 Volts.
Timers
Timers resident on the baseband chip generate periodic interrupts for power down wakeup,
watchdog support, periodic report generation and other timer related functions.
Watchdog
SQN3223 chipset provides internal software Watchdog. Also the LTE-V includes an MCU that
acts as a failsafe external watchdog. The MCU power cycles the system, if no activity is
detected for 1 hour.
Accelerometer
The accelerometer can be used for motion detection and driver behavior monitoring.

3.2 Remote Update
The LTE-V supports OTA field upgrades of the resident application. An over the air TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol) connection is made over an IP connection. A replacement file is
then transferred from a server to the LTE-V and that file replaces the previous application
image. Additionally the whole stack can be updated using an OMA- DM protocol.
3.3 Power Modes
The LTE-V device supports several power modes that are set by AT commands. In full power
mode the GPS is active and the cellular subsystem will maintain a persistent cellular
connection whenever service is available. IP connection is maintained according to the
configuration of the device.
The device can be put in low power mode whenever it runs on a backup battery or if the external
battery is low or if it is not moving. In low power mode the GPS is not running and the LED’s
are off. The device would return to full power whenever an event occurs that triggers a report.
Those events include:
• Periodic report
• GPIO change
• IP change
• Battery threshold
• Heartbeat
• Watchdog

3.4 AT Commands
Extended AT commands are specific to the LTE-V device. They are closely based on commands
that are as similar as possible industry common devices and are essentially subsets of standard
LTE-V commands. Native AT commands supported by the SQN3223 modules are also available
via the serial and USB interfaces.

3.5 Ack’ed Mode
UDP is not a 100% reliable connection and occasional reports or command/responses may be
lost. Since all commands have responses, the server can repeat any command to which there is no
response. In order to assure reliable reception of reports, LTE-V devices can be configured either
in Normal or Ack’ed mode to send the reports. In the Normal mode the reports are simply sent “as
is” with no acknowledgment from the server. In the Ack’ed mode every report sent is expected to
be acknowledged by the server by sending back an ACK message back. If acknowledgement is
not received within the specified timeout, the report is re-sent. If the report is not acknowledged
after the specified number of attempts, it is queued. If acknowledgement is received after the
report is queued (i.e. past timeout of the last attempt), it is ignored.
Report is not considered “complete” until its acknowledgement is received. Thus, if report X is
sent and report X+1 is triggered while waiting for acknowledgement of X, report X+1 will be
queued until such acknowledgement is received and only then sent. The LTE-V will attempt to
re-send queued report(s) every time a new report is triggered. If there is more than one report
© 2017 M-Labs Technologies LLC
13 / 15
queued, the reports will attempt to be sent in the order of triggering and only once the report is
acknowledged, the next report is attempted. This assures that reports are sent and received in
order
Ack’ed mode assures that all reports are received, but adds overhead in time and data. Report
that is not acknowledged is sent again and eventually will be queued and sent again. The number
and frequency of re-tries is configurable via the Report Acknowledgement command.
3.6 Event Report Format
Reports are encoded as binary hex. It is also echoed to the debug UART in ASCII format.
3.7 Reset
There are a number of resets available on the device. Soft reset only restarts the software
running on the device. Hard reset is caused by resetting the whole basband module via a reset
pin. There is also an option to reset the GPS and the cellular sub-systems individually.
3.7.1 Context Preservation
When a self-initiated reset is performed due to Network Watchdog or by the Reset command
(modes 0,1), the context of the system is being preserved and is restored after the reset. The
context includes all the periodic timers, the report queue, the odometer, etc. This allows to
reset the unit as a troubleshooting or preventive measure without losing reports that are already in
the queue or are pending on running timers. Note that the reset process may cause 1-2min of
inaccuracy in the timers and should not be considered as very precise.
3.8 Startup Banner
After a reset a startup banner is printed through the UART only.
