The TS-G17Hs (J16 Pro) is a compact 4G LTE CAT1 vehicle GPS tracker engineered for reliable global vehicle tracking and telemetry. Designed to integrate smoothly with Plaspy, this Plaspy compatible GPS tracker delivers real-time tracking, ignition status, and configurable I/O for immobilization and SOS alerts — all in a small, hard-to-detect package suitable for cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.
Built around the SIMCOM 7670SA module and supporting both 4G and fallback 2G networks, the TS-G17Hs offers high-sensitivity positioning even in constrained or weak-signal environments. With a wide input voltage range and a built-in backup battery, it is optimized for fleet management and anti-theft applications where continuous telemetry and dependable blind-area buffering matter.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for seamless real-time tracking and telemetry display on the Plaspy platform.
- 4G LTE Cat-1 with 2G GSM fallback for worldwide cellular coverage and stable GPRS reporting.
- Vehicle I/O: ignition (ACC) detection, SOS button support, relay control for remote cut/restore (extra relay required) and optional built-in microphone.
- Built-in backup battery (140–150mAh) and wide operating voltage (9V–90V) for robust vehicle installations across cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.
- High-sensitivity GNSS with up to 30 m positioning accuracy and fast start times (hot ≤2s; average cold ≤32s outdoors).
- Blind-area data storage (up to 8,000 messages) to ensure event buffering in coverage gaps and later upload to Plaspy.
- Supports common tracking protocols (GT06/CRX3) and SMS-based switching to JT808, Tianqin or Tianhe where required.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the TS-G17Hs streams location and vehicle telemetry for instant visualization, alerts and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests the device’s GPRS and SMS reports, interprets protocol messages, and exposes ignition events, SOS alarms and buffered blind-area records through a single fleet management interface.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS (with SMS polling available for low-data or fallback scenarios).
- Ignition (ACC) status and motion/G-sensor events delivered to Plaspy for operational tracking and tamper detection.
- Buffered blind-area data (up to 8,000 messages) automatically uploaded to Plaspy after coverage is restored, preserving event history.
- Relay-based immobilizer support — remote cut/restore of fuel or circuit is possible with an external relay; Plaspy can surface relay state and, where configured, send allowed control commands.
- SOS alerts and optional microphone-based voice monitoring can be relayed to Plaspy for immediate incident response and logging.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The TS-G17Hs provides a balanced mix of connectivity, vehicle-focused I/O and robust buffering that make it a practical choice for businesses deploying Plaspy for fleet management and anti-theft monitoring. Its Plaspy compatible reporting ensures that real-time tracking and telemetry feed directly into your dashboards, while SMS/GPRS modes and protocol flexibility simplify integration across regions.
Operational benefits include reliable position reporting in constrained spaces, fast GNSS reacquisition for accurate trip segmentation, and a small form factor for discreet installation. Although the device itself does not list Bluetooth, Plaspy’s ecosystem can combine TS-G17Hs telemetry with external Bluetooth sensors or third-party fuel-monitoring sensors where customers need expanded telemetry like temperature, load or fuel monitoring. For teams prioritizing dependable vehicle tracking, ignition-aware telemetry and relay-based immobilizer capability, the TS-G17Hs offers a pragmatic, Plaspy compatible solution.
