The Reachfar RF-V40 is a compact 3G GPS tracker engineered for pet owners who need dependable, Plaspy compatible real-time tracking. Combining GPS, AGPS, LBS and WiFi-assisted location, the RF-V40 improves outdoor and indoor positioning for dogs and other pets while delivering long standby life in a rugged, IP66-rated housing. Its small form factor and multiple tracking modes (time interval, on-demand, SMS, mobile app or web platform) make it a straightforward choice for continuous mobile monitoring and quick recovery in the event of escape or theft.
When paired with the Plaspy platform, the RF-V40 becomes part of a unified telemetry and tracking environment: live location updates, trace playback and geo-fence alerts flow into Plaspy dashboards and mobile apps for easy monitoring. Plaspy compatible integration lets pet owners receive low battery warnings, SIM change alerts and location history alongside other devices managed from the same account, providing convenience without sacrificing reliability.

How It Works with Plaspy
The RF-V40 sends position and status updates to Plaspy over cellular data (GPRS/3G). Plaspy receives GPS/AGPS/LBS/WiFi-derived coordinates and presents them in real time on maps, mobile apps and web dashboards. Owners can configure geofences, receive push/SMS/email alerts, review trace playback and query location on demand from the Plaspy interface. Integration is seamless for common pet-monitoring flows and places all essential telemetry in one place alongside other Plaspy compatible devices.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (GPS coordinates, battery status, connectivity state).
- Trace playback and historical location reporting via Plaspy dashboards.
- Geo-fence alerts and low battery warnings delivered through Plaspy notifications.
- SIM card change alerts to support anti-theft response and tamper detection.
- WiFi-assisted positioning and AGPS to improve fixes in urban or indoor conditions.
- On-demand tracking via SMS, app or web request for immediate position checks.
- Note: RF-V40 is focused on pet and small-asset tracking and does not provide vehicle-specific inputs such as ignition or immobilizer; Plaspy however supports those features for other compatible trackers (e.g., ignition sensing, immobilizer control, fuel monitoring, and external Bluetooth sensors on supported devices).
