TK-168 GPS Tracker

The TK-168 is a compact, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker built for reliable vehicle tracking and security. Designed for both personal vehicles and fleet management, the TK-168 uses a SIRF3 GPS chipset and GSM/GPRS connectivity to deliver accurate, real-time tracking, history replay and remote intervention capabilities over SMS or the Internet. Its small form factor makes it easy to install and conceal, while its robust satellite sensitivity supports quick positioning even in narrow urban environments.

Plaspy-ready out of the box, the TK-168 integrates smoothly with Plaspy’s platform using standard SMS and GPRS telemetry. Fleet operators and security-conscious vehicle owners will benefit from features such as remote fuel/power cut-off (immobilizer), anti-theft alarms, trip replay, and kilometer/distance reporting — all accessible through Plaspy’s real-time dashboard, alerts and reporting tools.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible: transfers location and telemetry over SMS or GPRS for seamless platform integration and real-time tracking.
• Fast GPS acquisition: SIRF3 chipset with hot start in ~1 second and cold start ~38 seconds for quick fixes after signal loss.
• Vehicle security & immobilization: remote cut-off of fuel and power enables rapid immobilizer actions for theft response.
• Comprehensive history and reporting: replay driving traces, history data backup, and kilometer/distance reports for fleet management and audits.
• Worldwide GSM/GPRS support: quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) ensures broad coverage in most regions.
• Low power consumption: designed for vehicle installations with standby average current under 80 mA.
• Durable operation: wide operating temperature and humidity ranges for reliable field performance.

How It Works with Plaspy

The TK-168 communicates location and vehicle telemetry to Plaspy using standard GPRS (Internet) or SMS channels. Plaspy ingests position updates, event notifications and command responses so that fleet managers can monitor vehicles in real time, receive alarms, replay routes and issue remote commands such as immobilization. Integration requires configuring the TK-168 to send GPRS packets or SMS to the Plaspy server or platform account, a supported workflow for Plaspy-compatible trackers.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates to Plaspy via GPRS (preferred) or SMS.
• Remote immobilizer support: execute fuel/power cut-off commands through Plaspy when configured.
• SOS and alarm reporting: SOS button and alarm events relay to Plaspy for immediate alerts.
• History and replay: stored trace data can be uploaded or requested for replay in Plaspy’s timeline view.
• Kilometer/distance reporting and trip summaries for fleet usage analysis.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet anti-theft and immobilization: remotely cut off fuel/power and track stolen vehicles in real time via Plaspy.
