ArkNav - R-12

The R-12 LTE M Waterproof GPS Vehicle Tracker is a compact, IP67-rated tracker purpose-built for reliable, Plaspy compatible real-time tracking across cars, vans, trucks, trailers and heavy machinery. With LTE‑M (Cat‑M1) main connectivity and EGPRS quad‑band fallback, a u‑Blox GNSS receiver and built‑in antennas, the R‑12 delivers robust positioning and telemetry where fleet management and anti-theft readiness are essential.

Designed for fit-and-forget installations, the R‑12 pairs neatly with Plaspy for live location, ignition-aware reporting and configurable alerts. Its rugged, concealed-antenna enclosure, surge protection and OTA firmware/configuration updates reduce field service and simplify large-scale deployments for system integrators and fleet operators seeking dependable, Plaspy compatible tracking solutions.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible real-time tracking over LTE‑M with EGPRS (2G) fallback for wide-area coverage and reliability.
• IP67 waterproof and dust-tight enclosure with concealed antennas for discreet installations and reduced tampering risk.
• Intelligent event reporting (speed, motion, ignition) to optimize fleet management and trigger timely alerts.
• Robust vehicle power protection — voltage surge protection to 60 V and optional ISO‑7637 module for harsh electrical environments.
• Two configurable outputs (optionally usable as immobilizer control) to support anti-theft and remote immobilization workflows with Plaspy.
• Built‑in u‑Blox GNSS with AGPS for faster fixes, plus a ±16G accelerometer for motion detection and impact events.
• OTA firmware and configuration updates to streamline maintenance and scale deployments without physical access.

How It Works with Plaspy

The R‑12 streams GNSS positions, status and telemetry to Plaspy via LTE‑M (with EGPRS fallback) so fleet managers get continuous, Plaspy compatible real‑time tracking and insight. Plaspy ingests location packets and event-triggered messages (speed, motion, ignition) to display live maps, generate alerts, and feed reports and APIs for integration with back-office systems.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates transmitted over LTE‑M / EGPRS to Plaspy for mapping and reporting.
• Ignition, motion and speed event reporting for accurate trip start/stop, driver behavior and PAYD scenarios.
• External power loss notification and low battery/voltage alerts to prevent silent failures and enable proactive service.
• Remote immobilizer control possible via the device’s configurable outputs (when used with an immobilizer relay) for anti-theft response through Plaspy commands.
• OTA firmware and configuration updates delivered through Plaspy-supported device management to keep devices current and consistent.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet anti-theft and remote immobilization — use the configurable outputs with an immobilizer relay and Plaspy commands to secure assets.
• Trailer and heavy machinery tracking — IP67 protection and rugged power handling suit harsh outdoor and construction environments.
• Delivery, dispatch and route monitoring — ignition, motion and speed events enable accurate trip reporting and ETA updates.
• PAYD (Pay As You Drive) insurance and driver behavior — event-driven telemetry supports usage-based insurance and performance analytics.
• Caravan and stolen vehicle recovery — discrete installation and concealment reduce tampering, while Plaspy enables fast recovery workflows.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The R‑12 delivers a practical balance of rugged hardware and Plaspy compatible connectivity that reduces installation time, maintenance burden and operational risk. LTE‑M with 2G fallback provides resilient connectivity for real-time tracking and telemetry, while the IP67 enclosure and concealed antennas protect units in demanding fleet and asset scenarios.

Value for fleet management comes from the R‑12’s vehicle-grade power protections (60 V protection and optional ISO‑7637), OTA update capability and event-driven reporting — all features that lower downtime and long‑term service costs. When paired with Plaspy, the R‑12 becomes a turnkey building block for anti-theft workflows, ignition-aware tracking, telemetry delivery and scalable fleet management without complex integrations.
