The Asset5 is a compact, rugged GPS tracker built for long-term, low‑maintenance monitoring of unpowered or high‑value assets. Plaspy compatible out of the box, Asset5 delivers resilient positioning and low-power telemetry so you can add reliable real‑time tracking to containers, trailers, rental equipment, construction tools, and other remote assets without frequent battery changes.
Designed for harsh environments, Asset5 combines multi‑constellation GNSS positioning with global cellular connectivity and Bluetooth LE for on‑site setup and sensor support. Its IP68 housing and up to three years of autonomous operation at conservative reporting intervals make Asset5 a practical choice for anti‑theft recovery, fleet management of non-powered assets, and long‑term remote telemetry.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker optimized for long battery life and low maintenance.
- Up to 3 years autonomous operation (2 reports/day) using replaceable 2×LiSOCl2 AA batteries.
- Multi‑constellation GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) plus Cell‑ID fallback for resilient positioning.
- Global cellular options: LTE Cat‑1bis / Cat M1 / NB‑IoT with 2G fallback to maximize coverage.
- IP68 waterproof housing and compact form (70 × 56 × 28 mm) for mounting in harsh outdoor conditions.
- Bluetooth LE 6.0 for wireless configuration via the mDMP mobile app and BLE advertisement mode for local identification.
- Built‑in 3‑axis accelerometer increases reporting frequency on motion for timely stolen‑asset recovery.
How It Works with Plaspy
Asset5 transmits location and essential telemetry over cellular networks to the Plaspy platform, enabling real‑time tracking, event alerts, and historical reports. Plaspy reads GNSS fixes, Cell‑ID location data, motion events from the accelerometer, and battery status to provide clear dashboards and automated notifications. Bluetooth LE provides local configuration and can support BLE beacons or sensors where Plaspy workflows make use of that data.
- Real‑time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy via LTE/Cellular.
- Motion detection increases reporting frequency when the asset moves, improving stolen‑asset recovery.
- Battery and device health telemetry to support long‑term fleet management and maintenance planning.
- Bluetooth LE 6.0 for mobile configuration (mDMP app) and BLE advertisement mode to identify assets on site.
- Note: Asset5 is tailored for unpowered assets; it does not list dedicated vehicle ignition or immobilizer inputs for direct engine control.
