Bluetooth sticker vs 4G label — an honest comparison
No "winner". These are different tools for different lanes. Read the rows as outcomes you'd want to achieve, and note which column describes your operation.
| Outcome you want | BluetoothGNTS1 Bluetooth Smart Sticker | 4G Cellular + GNSSLL100 4G Cellular Smart Label |
|---|---|---|
| Signal | Secure, encrypted Bluetooth broadcast | Cellular communication with GNSS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and supported network-positioning inputs |
| How an event reaches the cloud | Detected and relayed by a compatible participating device | Transmitted through the label's own cellular connection |
| Detection layer | Partner-enabled smartphones, access points, IoT infrastructure and vehicle telematics | Mobile network coverage |
| Network proposition | Powered by a rapidly expanding ecosystem of 100M+ participating devices | Autonomous cellular transmission where supported coverage is available |
| SIM requirement | No SIM card in the sticker | Integrated cellular connectivity / eSIM |
| Best suited to | Thin, scalable and cost-sensitive tracking deployments where the partner detection architecture fits the journey | Higher-risk shipments requiring autonomous reporting and richer sensor information |
Detection availability and reporting frequency depend on the presence, configuration and connectivity of compatible participating devices. Network size does not guarantee detection at a particular location, on a particular route or at a fixed interval. Cellular-label performance similarly depends on coverage, configuration and operating conditions.
Specifications marked with an asterisk or shown in [brackets] are pending verification against final manufacturer datasheets. Reporting behaviour and battery life depend on configuration and deployment conditions. Always validate suitability for your application with GoAndTrack before purchase.

GNTS1 Bluetooth Smart Sticker
A thin, disposable Bluetooth smart sticker whose secure, encrypted signal is detected by compatible devices across a rapidly expanding partner network of 100M+ participating devices — and relayed securely to the cloud for visibility through GoAndTrack.
4G Cellular + GNSSLL100 4G Cellular Smart Label
A cellular-enabled smart label that determines or assists its location using GNSS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and supported network methods — then transmits location and condition data to the cloud over its own cellular connection.
A mixed estate is a legitimate answer
Many customers run GNTS1 on the volume lanes and LL100 on the shipments that roam. A pilot finds your split with real data.
