Galileo Protocol (Bitrek-style tagged binary)

Bitrek-style tagged binary on Traccar TCP 5034, with Iridium header path, photo chunks, and compressed tag sets.

Connect your tracker

Enter the tracker IMEI first, then verify your email and continue setup.

Quick answers

Stock Traccar port?

TCP 5034.

Iridium frames?

Yes — branch when identification medium is 0x01001c.

Photo path?

Header 0x07 reassembles JPG parts via media buffer.

Galileo in Traccar is a Bitrek-family tagged binary dialect on TCP 5034. GalileoProtocolDecoder reads header 0x01 position batches (IMEI tag 0x03, coords 0x30, CAN/fuel/ADC tags), header 0x07 photo parts, and header 0x08 compressed minimal datasets. An Iridium branch triggers when the identification medium matches 0x01001c.

Frame shape on 5034

Tags use a fixed-length map; replies ack with header 0x02 plus checksum. This is not ASCII # or ##len,imei framing.

Sibling contrast

BCE on 5080 uses masked binary blocks and IMEI as %015d from a little-endian long. Galileo identity is a 15-byte ASCII slice under tag 0x03.

Catalogue stance

Stock Traccar reference. Traxelio catalogues Galileo as positions_only — decoder identity for BYOD review, not a command-provisioning claim.

Setup walkthrough

  1. 1

    Confirm Bitrek/Galileo firmware, not BCE

    Sheets citing masked BCE or port 5080 are the wrong family.

  2. 2

    Aim APN host at TCP 5034

    Save hostname/IP and port 5034; power-cycle.

  3. 3

    Capture a 0x01 tagged batch

    Hex should show tag 0x03 IMEI and tag 0x30 lat/lon, not ## ASCII.

  4. 4

    Then test Iridium or photo

    Iridium and 0x07 photo need the data path live first.

Common troubleshooting

Packets but no fix

Look for tag 0x30 validity; compressed 0x08 uses a 10-byte bitset, not tag 0x30.

Confused with BCE 5080

Move off 5080. Galileo IMEI is ASCII tag 0x03 on 5034, not %015d LE long.

Photo incomplete

0x07 needs all parts until the empty trailer; incomplete media buffer stays open.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the EU GNSS constellation?

No. Here Galileo is the Traccar protocol slug for Bitrek-style tagged binary on TCP 5034.

Command provisioning claimed?

No. Catalogue tier is positions_only keyed to Traccar’s open decoder.

UDP?

Stock Traccar Galileo listener is TCP.
