The GV56RS GPS tracker is a compact, Plaspy compatible device designed for fleet management, car rental, usage-based insurance (UBI) and stolen vehicle recovery. Combining quad-band GSM/GPRS communication, a high-sensitivity MTK GNSS receiver and integrated Bluetooth Low Energy, the GV56RS delivers reliable real-time tracking, telemetry and anti-theft control from a low-profile housing that fits light vehicles and rental fleets.
The GV56RS expands the GV56 platform with an RS485 serial port for extensive sensor integration — up to ten wired RS485 sensors — plus 1-wire temperature, iButton driver ID and BLE peripherals. Plaspy integration unlocks actionable vehicle data (location, ignition, fuel levels, driver ID and crash events) to power remote immobilizer actions, fleet analytics and automated alerts for efficient fleet management and SVR workflows.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and fleet management with TCP/UDP/SMS reporting.
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) for wide cellular coverage and reliable data uplink.
- RS485 port supports up to ten external sensors for fuel monitoring, load measurement and multi-tank setups.
- Integrated BLE (voice-capable BLE 3.0 and BLE 4.0 peripheral support) for Bluetooth sensors, keyfobs and CAN BLE readers.
- Ignition detection, open-collector remote output (fuel cut/immobilizer), and iButton driver identification for rental and UBI workflows.
- High-sensitivity GNSS with typical position accuracy under 2.5 m CEP and fast TTFF for accurate real-time positioning.
- Compact form factor and internal antennas make the GV56RS easy to install and discreet for anti-theft and SVR applications.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the GV56RS streams location and vehicle telemetry to your Plaspy server via TCP, UDP or SMS. Plaspy reads GNSS fixes, sensor values and input/output states to provide live mapping, historical tracks, driver identification and alarm handling. Programmable reporting and event triggers on the device feed Plaspy's rules engine for timely alerts and automated actions.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates to Plaspy for live tracking and replay.
- Ignition state reporting and driver ID (iButton) to record trips, time-of-use and event-based billing.
- Fuel monitoring via up to ten RS485 sensors and analog input for accurate fuel level telemetry.
- Remote immobilizer capability using the open-collector digital output (fuel cut) controlled through Plaspy commands.
- Bluetooth sensors and beacons (temperature, humidity, keyfobs, CAN BLE readers) integrated into Plaspy dashboards and alarms.
