The BN-103A vehicle-mounted intelligent GPS tracker is Plaspy compatible and built for reliable real-time tracking, fleet management, and anti-theft protection. Engineered for direct 12–24V vehicle installation, the BN-103A combines high-sensitivity GNSS positioning, multi-band GSM/GPRS connectivity and configurable alarm inputs to deliver the telemetry and event data modern fleet operators expect in Plaspy-integrated solutions.

Designed for private cars, logistics fleets, engineering vehicles and rental supervision, the BN-103A provides timely location updates, ignition and door status, and a full suite of alarms. When paired with the Plaspy platform, this tracker enables live tracking, playback, geo-fencing and remote control workflows that improve vehicle security, operational efficiency and risk control.

Key Highlights

  • Plaspy compatible: native support for integration with tracking platforms and mobile apps for real-time tracking and reporting.
  • High-precision GNSS: sensitive receiver (-165 dBm) and typical GPS accuracy around 5 meters for dependable location data.
  • Wide network support: 2G GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (4-band full-network) with TCP/UDP/SMS transport.
  • Comprehensive alarms and telemetry: SOS, overspeed, movement, door open, ACC ignition, shock, low battery and geofence alerts.
  • Remote control features: remote voice monitor (listen-in), remote fuel/power cut-off for immobilization and emergency intervention.
  • Smart reporting and power management: motion/stationary reporting modes plus smart sleep to conserve vehicle power while maintaining alerting.
  • Robust vehicle fit: compact enclosure, built-in backup battery and external antenna support for stable in-vehicle installation.

How It Works with Plaspy

When connected to Plaspy, the BN-103A streams GNSS fixes and telemetry over TCP/UDP/SMS so dispatchers and managers see live locations and event-driven alerts. Plaspy ingests the device’s position, alarm statuses and configurable inputs to generate dashboards, reports and automated notifications. This creates a single view for fleet management, anti-theft response and operational analytics.

  • Real-time location and telemetry updates sent via TCP/UDP/SMS for immediate display in Plaspy.
  • Ignition (ACC), door and alarm status reported to Plaspy for event playback and rule-based notifications.
  • Optional fuel monitoring: fuel level queries and fuel-detection alarms available when an external fuel sensor is connected.
  • Remote immobilizer capability through remote fuel or power cut-off commands issued via Plaspy.
  • Integration of Bluetooth sensors: Plaspy can combine BN-103A telemetry with Bluetooth sensor data if your installation includes a BLE gateway or compatible accessory.
