ArkNav - CT-X8
The CT-X8 Container Lock GPS Tracker is a rugged, tamper evident electronic lock built for shipping containers and transit cargo. It combines an internal GPS receiver, cellular communications, and a stainless steel lock mechanism in an IP67 rated housing to provide continuous location visibility, intrusion detection, and chain of custody evidence suitable for port, intermodal, and long haul logistics environments.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the CT-X8 transmits position fixes and door or tamper events into Plaspy for centralized monitoring and alerting. Its configurable reporting intervals and long life backup battery make it a practical choice for operators who need reliable, auditable tracking data and rapid notifications integrated into Plaspy dashboards and workflows.
