The TR-616C1 is a compact, vehicle-mounted 4G LTE GPS tracker that is Plaspy compatible and built for practical fleet and asset management. Combining a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, multi-band cellular modem, and a rugged installable housing, the TR-616C1 delivers accurate real-time tracking and essential vehicle telemetry to Plaspy for immediate visibility, alerts, and reporting.
Designed for fleet managers, logistics operators, and vehicle security integrators, the TR-616C1 supports TCP/UDP/SMS reporting, remote configuration, OTA firmware upgrades, and AT-command control to accelerate integration with Plaspy. With buffered logging, a built-in backup battery, ignition input and support for optional relay modules and RS232 accessories, this tracker provides a cost-effective platform for reliable telematics and anti-theft deployments.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible: real-time GPS position reporting and vehicle status via TCP/UDP/SMS for immediate integration into the Plaspy platform.
- Multi-band cellular connectivity: LTE-FDD / LTE-TDD / HSPA+ / EDGE / GPRS / GSM for broad regional support and fallback.
- Robust GNSS performance: high-sensitivity GPS receiver with built-in active GPS antenna (SMA) for reliable location in challenging environments.
- Buffered tracking: stores up to 3,000 location points for offline logging and upload when connectivity resumes.
- Vehicle telemetry: ignition (ACC) input, three LED indicators (Cellular, GPS, Power) and motion (G-) sensor for event-driven reporting and anti-theft workflows.
- Power resilience: internal 820 mAh Li‑polymer backup battery provides several hours of operation during power loss for theft recovery and emergency response.
- Remote management: OTA firmware upgrades, remote control and configuration over LTE, SMS or GPRS plus AT-command support for fast application development.
How It Works with Plaspy
The TR-616C1 integrates with Plaspy by transmitting GPS coordinates, event messages and telemetry via TCP/UDP or SMS to Plaspy endpoints. Plaspy receives live position updates, stores buffered points uploaded after reconnect, and processes alerts such as geo-fence violations, motion triggers and power loss. Remote configuration and OTA firmware updates keep the fleet firmware and reporting rules synchronized from Plaspy.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy via TCP, UDP or SMS.
- Ignition (ACC) status reporting — positive trigger input (DC 10–36 V) enables engine on/off and drive-time analytics.
- Buffered upload of up to 3,000 location points when the device regains network connectivity, ensuring no gaps in history.
- Remote control and immobilization workflows via optional relay modules — TR-616C1 supports relay integration for anti-theft or immobilizer use cases when deployed with appropriate accessories.
- Event-driven alerts: geo-fencing, motion (G-) sensor detection, and power-loss/lost detection reported to Plaspy for instant notifications.
