Engineers, security staff, carers and site workers often work alone, and if something goes wrong they need to raise the alarm and be found. A personal GPS tracker with an SOS button sends the wearer's position when it is pressed. The hardware is the easy part: an alarm only helps if someone receives it and responds, so plan that first.
The Teltonika GH5200 is an 80 g badge worn on a lanyard or belt clip. Its SOS button raises an alarm: the badge can text up to five numbers and call up to five, with two-way voice through its built-in microphone and speaker, and it sends the event with its position to your tracking platform. Man-down detection raises an alarm after a fall or when the badge tips past a set angle, with a silent pre-alarm the wearer can cancel, and a no-movement alarm covers someone who stops moving.
The ATC700 is a 4G pocket tracker with a rechargeable 1000 mAh battery and a button that can be set up as an alarm. It has no man-down detection or voice calls listed, so it suits staff who need a simple way to send their position rather than a full lone-worker device.
Pressing a button creates an alarm, not a response. Decide who receives it, how they check the person is safe and what they do if not, and test the whole chain before a device goes out. The GH5200 can ring a supervisor's phone directly, which needs a SIM with voice and SMS. An alarm sent as data only helps if the receiving platform is set up to act on it and somebody is watching.
Fleetalyse shows where each device is and where it has been, but we do not run an alarm receiving centre or monitor alarms around the clock. If your lone-working risk assessment calls for a monitored response, use a BS 8484 lone-worker service. Teltonika's BS 8484:2022 declaration for the GH5200 covers the device (Section 5) only when it is used within such a service, and the ATC700 is not BS 8484 certified.
The GH5200 is 2G only. UK networks plan to switch 2G off from 2029 (EE and O2) into 2030 (Vodafone), after which it will not connect, so treat it as a device for the next few years rather than the next decade. The ATC700 runs on 4G (LTE Cat 1) with 2G as a fallback, so it keeps working after the switch-off.
In Teltonika's tests the GH5200's 1050 mAh battery lasts about 8 hours reporting every 5 seconds on the move and about 12 hours at once a minute, and much longer in its low-power modes, so plan to charge it every day of shift work from a 5 V USB supply (no charger in the box). It is rated IP30, so it is not water-resistant. The ATC700 is IP65 in Teltonika's internal tests, not certified, and needs regular charging over USB-C.

Teltonika has declared the GH5200 conformant to BS 8484:2022 Section 5, the device part of the standard, but only when it is integrated with and used within a lone-worker service. Bought on its own and connected to a tracking platform, it is a personal GPS tracker with an SOS button, not a BS 8484 service. The ATC700 is not BS 8484 certified.
Whoever you set up. The GH5200 can text up to five numbers and call up to five over a voice SIM, and it records the alarm in the data it sends to your platform. Fleetalyse does not run an alarm receiving centre, so for a monitored round-the-clock response use a lone-worker service that does. Test the chain before handing a device out.
No. It is 2G only, and UK networks plan to switch 2G off from 2029 (EE and O2) into 2030 (Vodafone). The ATC700 uses 4G (LTE Cat 1) and keeps working after 2G closes, but it has no man-down detection or voice calls.
Teltonika's tests give the GH5200 about 8 to 12 hours when it reports every 5 seconds to once a minute on the move, and several days in its deeper sleep modes, so charge it daily on shift work. Teltonika publishes no battery-life figure for the ATC700; it records every 15 minutes by default and needs regular charging.
