Problem

Vehicle finance companies face 18–25% bad debt losses associated with asset theft and recovery challenges, while logistics fleets can experience 30%+ dispatch inefficiency when vehicle visibility and real-time fleet data are inadequate.

These challenges make reliable GPS tracking more than a simple location-monitoring requirement.

Finance companies need to know where financed vehicles are, identify unauthorized movement, respond quickly to potential theft and support recovery operations.

Logistics operators, meanwhile, need real-time fleet visibility to improve dispatch decisions, monitor vehicle utilization, reduce unnecessary mileage and maintain better control over delivery operations.

This is why GPS hardware compatibility with an existing telematics platform such as Wialon is an important consideration when selecting fleet tracking devices.

Introduction

For fleet operators, logistics companies, vehicle finance providers, rental businesses and telematics service providers, selecting a GPS tracker is only the first step. The tracker must also communicate reliably with the fleet management platform used by the business.

Wialon, developed by Gurtam, is a widely used telematics and fleet management platform for connecting GPS tracking devices, monitoring vehicles and assets, analyzing fleet data and managing large-scale deployments.

For companies already using Wialon, hardware compatibility is therefore an important purchasing consideration.

So, which WanWayTech GPS trackers are compatible with Wialon?

WanWayTech has multiple GPS tracking devices integrated with Wialon. The current official Wialon hardware catalog lists a range of WanWayTech devices, including GS900, GS10G, GS12, S20, GS10, GS05, G18, G19H, G19S, GS01, GS300, GS900W and other models.

Among these models, GS900 and GS10G have particularly strong evidence of active Wialon deployment. Wialon's current hardware pages report approximately 5,100 GS900 units and 2,338 GS10G units connected to the Wialon Data Center.

This article explains which WanWayTech GPS trackers can be used with Wialon, how the integration works, what data can be transferred and how to select the right device for fleet management, vehicle finance, logistics and asset tracking projects.

Note: Gurtam is the company behind Wialon. Therefore, the technically accurate term is “Wialon by Gurtam”, rather than treating Wialon and Gurtam as two separate GPS tracking platforms.

What Is Wialon and What Is Gurtam?

Before discussing hardware compatibility, it is important to understand the relationship between Wialon and Gurtam.

Gurtam is the software company that develops Wialon, while Wialon is the telematics and fleet management platform used to monitor vehicles, equipment, people and other connected assets.

A GPS tracker installed on a vehicle collects information such as:

• GNSS position
• Speed
• Direction
• Ignition status
• Vehicle mileage
• Battery voltage
• Digital inputs and outputs
• Fuel-related information
• Temperature
• Alarm events
• Sensor data

The device transmits this information through a cellular or other communication network to Wialon, where the data can be visualized, analyzed and used to trigger fleet-management workflows.

Wialon is designed to be hardware-agnostic, allowing customers to select GPS hardware from different manufacturers.

This means businesses do not need to purchase a proprietary “Gurtam GPS tracker.”

The basic architecture is:

WanWayTech GPS Tracker → Cellular Network → Wialon → Fleet Management

Wialon also provides integration mechanisms for GPS hardware manufacturers and supports a large ecosystem of third-party tracking devices.

Which WanWayTech GPS Trackers Are Wialon-Compatible?

The official Wialon supported-device database includes multiple WanWayTech models.

WanWayTech GPS Trackers Integrated with Wialon

However, Wialon does not require every tracker to use the same protocol.

It supports numerous device-specific protocols and integration mechanisms.

For this reason, businesses should not simply ask:

“Does this manufacturer support Wialon?”

A more useful technical question is:

“Is this exact GPS tracker model integrated with Wialon, and which communication protocol and parameters are supported?”

This distinction becomes especially important when deploying large fleets.

What Data Can WanWayTech Trackers Send to Wialon?

The available parameters vary by device model and firmware.

For example, Wialon's GS10G integration page documents parameters for ACC, power-cut alarms, low-battery alarms, GSM signal strength, Bluetooth temperature/humidity sensors, door status and fuel-related sensor data.

Wialon Compatibility Means More Than Location Tracking

A common mistake is to define compatibility simply as:

“The vehicle appears on the Wialon map.”

For professional telematics deployments, compatibility should be evaluated across several layers.

1. Positioning

Can the tracker transmit:

• Latitude
• Longitude
• Speed
• Heading
• Timestamp?

2. Vehicle Status

Can Wialon receive:

• ACC status?
• Battery voltage?
• Ignition status?

3. Alarm Events

Can the device report:

• Power cut
• Wire cut
• Low battery
• Shock
• Geofence events
• SOS?

4. Sensors

Can the tracker connect to:
