The BL10 is a specialized GPS tracker developed by Jimi IoT (Concox) that functions as an integrated sharing bike lock. Unlike traditional vehicle GPS trackers, it combines a rugged locking mechanism with built-in tracking capabilities, making it an all-in-one solution for shared bicycle fleets and micromobility operators.
✨ Key Features
The BL10 is designed specifically for outdoor shared mobility applications. Its most distinctive feature is the integration of a physical lock with GPS tracking, allowing operators to manage both security and location from a single device.
-
Multiple Unlocking Methods: Users can unlock bicycles via Bluetooth or by scanning a QR code through a dedicated mobile app. This enables contactless, user-friendly access for bike-sharing programs.
-
Long-Lasting Power System: The device houses a substantial 10,000mAh industrial-grade Li-Polymer battery and supports optional solar charging (6V/5W solar panel). In locked state without solar input, it can achieve up to 40 days of standby time, significantly extending deployment duration.
-
GPS & LBS Positioning: Uses GPS and LBS (Location-Based Service) positioning with accuracy better than 2.5 meters CEP. This combination ensures reliable tracking even in urban environments with tall buildings or limited satellite visibility.
-
Geofencing Capability: Operators can set virtual boundaries on the platform and receive alerts when a bicycle enters or leaves designated areas. This helps enforce parking regulations and prevent theft.
-
Tamper Detection: A built-in 3-axis accelerometer triggers vibrating alerts when unusual motion is detected, such as drilling, hammering, or theft attempts.
-
Bluetooth 4.0 & iBeacon: Supports short-range positioning and rider verification, enabling proximity-based unlocking and usage analytics.
-
Rugged Construction: Rated IPX5 for water resistance, the device withstands rain and water jets, ensuring reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.

📱 Applications and Summary
The BL10 is purpose-built for micromobility and bike-sharing operations. Its combination of a secure lock, GPS tracking, long battery life, and solar charging capability makes it ideal for public bike-share programs, rental fleets, and commercial micromobility services.
Unlike the JM-VW01 or JM-VL02 vehicle trackers discussed previously, the BL10 is not designed for cars or trucks. It serves a specialized role where physical security and tracking are combined in a single, weather-resistant unit suitable for outdoor deployment.
