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.

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.

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.
