TA255 Series Solar Asset GPS Tracker
The TA255 Series is a rugged, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker engineered for long-term, low‑maintenance monitoring of trailers, containers and other high-value assets. With integrated solar charging, stackable battery modules up to 22,400 mAh and IP67 protection, the TA255 delivers reliable real-time tracking and telemetry for remote or long-haul fleet management.
The device combines multi-mode cellular (4G/2G), GNSS positioning, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity with built-in sensors and peripheral interfaces so you can monitor location, fuel levels, temperature and movement through Plaspy. FOTA support and regional wireless variants simplify large deployments and keep device firmware current without manual intervention.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker built for unattended operation with integrated solar charging and stackable battery support (up to 22,400 mAh).
- Multi-network cellular: 4G (LTE Cat 1 / Cat M1 / NB2) plus 2G fallback for broad coverage and resilient connectivity.
- Robust environmental design — IP67 ingress protection and operating range −20°C to 60°C for harsh outdoor use.
- Comprehensive telemetry and sensor support: BLE temperature & humidity sensors, ultrasonic and voltage fuel sensors, digital temperature probes.
- Peripheral interfaces including RFID, iButton, Micro‑USB and relay outputs (12 V/24 V) for event control and anti-theft actions.
- Accurate GNSS positioning (≈2.5 m) with -162 dBm sensitivity for dependable real-time tracking in diverse environments.
- FOTA (firmware-over-the-air) and OTA management to update firmware and configuration remotely at scale.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrated with Plaspy, the TA255 Series becomes a turnkey solution for real-time tracking, telemetry collection and remote device control. The tracker streams GNSS location and sensor telemetry to Plaspy where you can visualize routes, set geofences, trigger alerts and generate reports for fleet management and anti-theft workflows.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates — GNSS fixes, movement events and sensor readings feed Plaspy dashboards for live situational awareness.
- Event and input reporting — the TA255 reports motion, drop detection and digital inputs to Plaspy for alarm, door or container status monitoring.
- Fuel monitoring — integrate ultrasonic or voltage-based fuel level sensors; Plaspy can trend consumption and alert on discrepancies.
- Remote immobilizer / ignition control — relay outputs can be used to implement remote immobilization or ignition control workflows through Plaspy where local regulations and installation allow.
- Bluetooth sensors — BLE temperature and humidity sensors pair to the tracker and pass readings to Plaspy for cold-chain and environment monitoring.
