The Pro5 by Ruptela is a professional-grade GPS tracker purpose-built for heavy vehicles — trucks, buses and specialized machinery — and is fully Plaspy compatible for seamless fleet telematics. Combining LTE‑M with 2G fallback, a premium U‑blox GNSS module and BLE 5.1, the Pro5 delivers reliable real‑time tracking, rich vehicle telemetry and secure remote management required for modern fleet management and anti‑theft workflows.
Engineered for demanding installations, Pro5 integrates dual CAN interfaces, multiple analog/digital I/O, serial ports and an internal backup battery into a compact screwless housing. When paired with Plaspy, the Pro5 becomes a turnkey solution for live vehicle location, fuel monitoring, driver identification and advanced event detection — all manageable at scale through remote provisioning and firmware updates.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for accurate real‑time tracking and fleet management across heavy vehicles.
- LTE‑M connectivity with 2G fallback for broad cellular coverage and reliable telemetry delivery.
- Dual CAN ports and serial interfaces to read HCV CAN data (fuel, EBS, tachograph and diagnostics).
- BLE 5.1 and accessory support for Bluetooth sensors, driver identification and wireless peripherals.
- Built‑in tamper and jamming detection plus a 1050 mAh backup battery for improved anti‑theft resilience.
- Multiple I/O (4 DIN, 4 AIN, 4 DOUT, 1‑wire) to integrate door, alarm, sensor inputs and control outputs (immobilizer integration where vehicle interface allows).
- On‑device storage (8 MB) with SD card slot and secure communications (TLS v1.2) for compliant telemetry and logging.
- FOTA, SMS and USB firmware/configuration options and centralized device provisioning via Ruptela Device Center.
How It Works with Plaspy
When installed and paired to Plaspy, the Pro5 streams GNSS position, accelerometer events and vehicle telemetry to the Plaspy platform for live monitoring, geofencing, alerts and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests the Pro5’s CAN‑sourced vehicle data, serial diagnostics and BLE sensor inputs to provide unified dashboards for fleet operators, enabling rapid decision making and automated rule‑based alerts.
- Real‑time location and telemetry updates sent over LTE‑M (with 2G fallback) for consistent tracking.
- CAN data ingestion: fuel monitoring, EBS/trailer data and tachograph/diagnostic parameters streamed to Plaspy.
- Accelerometer events for harsh driving, accident detection and reconstruction available in Plaspy reports.
- BLE 5.1 support for Bluetooth sensors and driver identification; Plaspy can map BLE sensor data to assets and drivers.
- Tamper/jamming alerts and on‑device logging enable immediate anti‑theft notifications and post‑event analysis.
- Remote configuration and firmware updates through Ruptela Device Management Platform and FOTA, integrated into Plaspy provisioning workflows.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
Pro5 offers a balanced combination of rugged hardware, vehicle‑grade interfaces and secure communications that makes it ideal for operators who need dependable GPS tracking, telemetry and anti‑theft measures integrated with Plaspy. Its dual CAN ports and rich I/O set allow direct access to ignition state, fuel parameters and trailer/EBS data where the vehicle supports it, enabling detailed fuel monitoring and diagnostics without additional gateways. BLE 5.1 and serial interfaces add flexibility for Bluetooth sensors, driver identification and accessory integration.
For large rollouts, the inclusion of Ruptela Device Center and Device Management Platform simplifies provisioning, remote configuration and FOTA, reducing installation time and ongoing maintenance costs. Combined with Plaspy’s dashboards and alerting, Pro5 helps fleets improve uptime, reduce fuel costs, strengthen anti‑theft protection and gain actionable telemetry — all under a secure TLS v1.2 communications layer. If you need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker engineered specifically for heavy vehicles and rich vehicle data, the Pro5 is built to meet those requirements reliably and at scale.
Set Up Pro5
Use with a tracker
-
Set the Operator APN
