1. INTRODUCTION
The Arrow QG™ (Arrow VI™) from Phillips Connect Technologies is a vehicle tracking device that
combines GPS location with LTE and Bluetooth. Arrow products monitor vehicle functions and collect
data for tracking and analysis.
The Arrow QG (Arrow VI) appears to the user or a server application as a single endpoint device. It can
be queried, updated, and configured either through a serial connection or an over-the air (OTA) LTE IP
connection. The Arrow QG (Arrow VI) presents itself over the connections as an enhanced cellular
modem with attached functional elements. These elements include:
•GPS location engine
•General Purpose Bidirectional I/O (GPIO) pins
•Relay drive pin output
•Serial UART port
•CAN Communication (optional)
•BLE 5.0
The following is a typical application scenario:

Arrow QG (Arrow VI) provides support for specialized hardware features through extended AT
commands. The features supported include the following:
GPS
The major functionality of the GPS system is to compute the correlation results between the
incoming signal and the selected PRN code based on certain Carrier Doppler Frequency, code
phase, carrier phase, and the particular satellite the system is tracking or acquiring.
GPIO
The GPIO pins are presented to the external environment on the main connector. They are
general purpose bidirectional lines capable of providing system interrupts to generate a report
or drive logic levels to external devices. These lines are 2.8V logic level and are 16V tolerant.
LEDs
Two LED status indicators are provided to verify correct installation and operation.

UART
A UART port is provided for AT command and data interaction and optionally for application
specific control.
Relay Driver
A 500mA sink capable output pin is provided. This pin is meant to drive a relay coil intended to
interrupt the starter solenoid relay for the ignition circuit to a car, tractor, or other vehicle.
Voltage Monitor
The battery monitor is internal analog input scaled such that the DC value of the power input pin
to the power input pin to the Arrow QG (Arrow VI) system is measured.
Watchdog
MDM9207-1 chipset provides internal software and hardware Watchdog.
Motion Detect
This function will work with firmware power down options to keep the Arrow QG (Arrow VI) in a
very low power down state until motion is detected. Upon wakening, a report can then be
generated.
CAN
This function is an option for watching the information of vehicle.
