ArkNav - IR-7
The ArkNav IR-7 is a hybrid satellite and GSM GPS tracker designed to deliver reliable real-time tracking in harsh and remote environments. Built with an integrated Iridium satellite module, the IR-7 provides global coverage through a constellation of low earth orbit satellites, and pairs that capability with GSM connectivity where available. Its rugged IP67 enclosure and broad input and output options make it suitable for outdoor and maritime deployments as well as use in deserts and mountainous regions.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the IR-7 can feed continuous location and status data into Plaspy's fleet monitoring platform. The hybrid design and automatic switching between satellite and GSM help maintain visibility where conventional cellular coverage is inconsistent. Features such as FOTA and COTA, main power loss detection, and automatic message saving and resending support remote device management and operational continuity when used with Plaspy.
Key Highlights
- Hybrid satellite and GSM tracking for wide area and global coverage
- Built in Iridium satellite module enabling tracking in remote regions

How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the IR-7 delivers location and event data to the platform so teams can maintain situational awareness across mixed coverage areas. Plaspy ingests the device's transmissions and presents them in dashboards, maps, and reports for operational use.
- Continuous location visibility in Plaspy regardless of satellite or GSM link
- Alerts and event notifications based on inputs, power status, and movement triggers
- Consolidated fleet dashboards showing assets operating in remote or maritime zones
- Historical logs and reporting that include saved messages and resend events
- Remote configuration handling through COTA when integrated with Plaspy management workflows
Typical Use Cases
- Tracking vessels and maritime equipment beyond coastal cellular range
- Monitoring assets and convoys in desert or mountainous routes
- Remote equipment oversight for construction or mining sites
- Long haul logistics and transport across areas with intermittent GSM
- Field operations requiring rugged hardware and reliable global coverage
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The IR-7 is a practical option for organizations that need persistent tracking across challenging geographies. Its hybrid architecture and Iridium connectivity reduce blind spots, while IP67 protection and input/output flexibility support a variety of field applications.
