The ST4290 is a rugged, battery-powered GPS tracker designed for long-term asset monitoring and recovery. Built with LTE Cat M1 and NB‑IoT connectivity (with 2G fallback where supported), integrated GPS/GLONASS with SBAS support and an IP67 enclosure, the ST4290 is Plaspy compatible and ready for real-time tracking, telemetry and anti-theft workflows through the Plaspy platform.
Compact and energy-efficient, the ST4290 is offered in two battery variants to match deployment duration needs: an 8Ah primary Li‑SOCl2 model and a larger 19Ah option for extended autonomy. Its automotive I/O set (ignition input, panic/door input and vehicle blocking/siren outputs) and 3‑axis accelerometer make it a strong choice for fleet management, cargo protection and long-term asset deployments that rely on Plaspy for alerts, mapping and analytics.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for seamless real-time tracking and fleet management integration.
- Rugged IP67 construction and an operating range of -10°C to +60°C for harsh environments.
- Integrated GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) with SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS) and ~±2.5m CEP accuracy.
- Low‑power design with primary Li‑SOCl2 batteries (8Ah standard, 19Ah optional) for long field life.
- LTE Cat M1 / NB‑IoT connectivity with 2G fallback where supported and OTA firmware updates.
- Vehicle-focused I/O: ignition input, panic and door sensors plus outputs for immobilizer/vehicle blocking and siren.
- Fast GNSS acquisition (hot start <1s, warm start <30s) and high sensitivity (-167 dBm) for reliable fixes.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the ST4290 supplies accurate position fixes and telemetry to power live tracking, geofence alerts, and recovery workflows. Plaspy ingests GNSS positions, accelerometer motion events and digital I/O state changes to produce actionable alerts and reports for operations teams.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered over LTE Cat M1 / NB‑IoT (2G fallback where available).
- Ignition, door and panic-button events transmitted to Plaspy for fleet management and anti-theft alerts.
- Remote immobilizer / vehicle blocking control supported via device outputs and managed through Plaspy workflows.
- Accelerometer-driven motion detection enables tamper and movement alerts for unattended assets.
- Fuel monitoring or Bluetooth sensor data can be integrated within Plaspy if fleet-specific peripherals are used alongside the ST4290 (device description does not specify built-in fuel sensor or BLE; such integrations are handled at the platform level).

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The ST4290 brings a purpose-built combination of low power, rugged packaging and the vehicle-focused I/O that fleets and asset managers need. As a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker, it feeds reliable GNSS positions and event-driven telemetry into Plaspy’s real-time tracking, geofencing and reporting tools, enabling fast response to theft, better route oversight and consolidated fleet analytics. Optional batteries and OTA management reduce maintenance visits and make the ST4290 a cost-effective choice for long-term deployments where minimizing battery replacements matters.
Accessories such as magnet and screw cradles, spare battery packs (8Ah and 19Ah) and a quick-connector battery option simplify installations. For mechanical drawings and detailed configuration options, refer to the vendor’s ST4290 product leaflet (ST4290 Leaflet_Asset.pdf). Choose the ST4290 with Plaspy when you need durable, low-power GPS tracking that scales across cargo, fleet and remote-asset use cases while supporting anti-theft and immobilizer workflows.
