KT-520 Kineis Satellite Tracker

The KT-520 Kineis Satellite Tracker is a compact, rugged GPS tracker purpose-built for long‑duration asset and vehicle monitoring where cellular service is unavailable. Designed to work with Plaspy, the KT-520 extends Plaspy's real-time tracking and fleet management capabilities into remote, non‑cellular areas by reporting position and telemetry over the Kineis satellite network.

The device combines an integrated GNSS receiver, a 3‑axis accelerometer for motion detection, long-life SAFT battery power and over‑the‑air configuration via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Plaspy‑compatible out of the box, the KT-520 provides reliable location reporting, motion-based wakeups and device diagnostics so fleet managers and logistics teams can maintain continuous situational awareness across the widest possible coverage footprint.

Key Highlights

• Kineis satellite connectivity for dependable GPS tracker reporting beyond cellular coverage — ideal for remote fleet management and asset tracking.
• Integrated GNSS receiver delivers consistent location fixes for Plaspy to display in real‑time tracking dashboards.
• 3‑axis accelerometer enables motion detection and automatic wake‑up to conserve battery while ensuring timely alerts when assets move.
• SAFT 17Ah non‑rechargeable battery engineered for long deployments — approximately five years at a typical profile of 20 satellite messages per day.
• BLE support for over‑the‑air device configuration and firmware updates, reducing maintenance trips and simplifying field service.
• Robust environmental resilience: IP69K ingress protection and an operating range of -20°C to +55°C for harsh outdoor and industrial use.
• Maintenance‑friendly telemetry: built‑in battery level reporting and remote diagnostics visible in Plaspy for proactive device management.

How It Works with Plaspy

As a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker, the KT-520 transmits GNSS position and telemetry via the Kineis satellite system to backend services where Plaspy ingests, visualizes and notifies. Plaspy uses the device's periodic satellite messages and motion events to provide near real‑time tracking, geofencing alerts, and operational reports for dispersed fleets and assets operating outside cellular reach.

• Real‑time location and telemetry updates from the KT-520 are forwarded through Kineis into Plaspy for mapping and route history.
• Motion events and accelerometer data trigger movement alerts and can be used to implement tamper/anti‑theft notifications.
• Battery level reporting allows Plaspy to monitor remaining power and schedule maintenance before service interruption.
• OTA configuration and firmware updates occur locally via BLE — Plaspy can surface device status and instruct field engineers when in‑person BLE access is required.
• Telemetry exposed by the device can be combined in Plaspy with other integrations (for example fuel monitoring or ignition/immobilizer controls) where those sensors or interfaces are available in the overall solution.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management for vehicles that operate across remote territories where terrestrial networks are intermittent or absent.
• Logistics and container tracking on long‑haul routes, providing end‑to‑end visibility using satellite reporting integrated into Plaspy.
• Remote asset surveillance for equipment and installations in off‑grid locations, delivering motion alerts and location history.
• Industrial and outdoor deployments requiring a rugged, IP69K device able to withstand harsh temperatures and washdown conditions.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

Choosing the KT-520 as a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker gives operations teams a reliable satellite‑backed option for extending real‑time tracking, telemetry and anti‑theft awareness beyond cellular coverage. Its long‑life SAFT battery and motion‑driven wake logic reduce maintenance and preserve runtime for multi‑year deployments. IP69K protection and wide temperature tolerance make the KT-520 suitable for demanding fleet management scenarios and rugged asset monitoring.

When integrated with Plaspy, the KT-520 delivers actionable location data, battery and device health metrics, and motion events that simplify decision making for logistics, remote surveillance and asset protection. For fleets that may combine satellite tracking with additional telemetry such as fuel monitoring or ignition/immobilizer control, Plaspy provides the platform to correlate KT-520 satellite reports with other data sources and alerts — enabling cohesive, scalable management of dispersed assets and vehicles.
