Astra Telematics - AT211
The Astra AT211 is a rugged GPS tracker purpose built for heavy plant, machinery, and other outdoor assets. Designed on Astra Telematics' AT200 platform, the AT211 combines a compact, weatherproof enclosure with multi network connectivity and practical input output options to provide dependable location and status reporting in demanding environments.
As a device that is fully compatible with Plaspy, the AT211 can be integrated into Plaspy fleets and asset monitoring workflows for real time visibility and event driven alerts. Its combination of durable construction, broad connectivity, and optional mobile features makes it a relevant choice for organisations that use Plaspy to centralise tracking, security, and operational reporting for plant and vehicles.
Key Highlights
- IP67 rated enclosure for resistance to dust, water, and vibration in outdoor and industrial settings.
- Multi network connectivity including GSM GPRS plus LTE Cat M1 and NB IoT for broad coverage and low power operation.
- Compact design with internal antennas and an optional external GNSS patch to improve fixes on metal bodied machines.
- Built in MEMS accelerometer and LED indicators to support movement detection and installation diagnostics.
- Practical I O set including digital inputs and outputs, RS232 DB9 interface, and a 1 Wire port for peripheral sensors.
- 510 mAh internal backup battery to keep reporting during power loss or tamper scenarios, and a wide operating voltage range to suit varied equipment.
- Optional Bluetooth Low Energy support for immobiliser and driver identification features through Astra mobile functionality.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the AT211 transmits location and status data to the platform so fleet managers and equipment owners can monitor assets, configure alerts, and run reports from a single interface. Plaspy receives the device streams and surfaces movement events, input status, and positional updates for operational oversight and security workflows.
- Real time location updates and telemetry appear in Plaspy for live tracking and historical playback.
- Movement and impact events derived from the internal accelerometer can trigger notifications and theft response actions.
- Digital input and output status is available in Plaspy to monitor ignition, door, alarm circuits, or to perform simple remote actions.
- BLE enabled features such as immobiliser control and driver identification can be incorporated into Plaspy workflows when used alongside Astra mobile tools.
- Telemetry and usage data can feed Plaspy reports for utilisation, maintenance planning, and security auditing.
Typical Use Cases
- Securing plant and construction machinery on remote sites with movement alerts and managed immobiliser workflows.
- Monitoring tow and unauthorised movement of trailers, caravans, and equipment with immediate notification in Plaspy.
- Fleet and equipment management for construction and agriculture where rugged tracking and basic telemetry are required.
- Weather resistant tracking for motorcycles and caravans where compact, durable hardware is needed.
- Remote asset tracking in challenging environments where an external GNSS antenna and low power wide area network support improve reliability.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The AT211 is a practical choice for organisations that need a robust, deployable tracker that integrates with Plaspy. Its rugged IP67 enclosure, wide voltage tolerance, and backup battery reduce downtime and installation constraints across mixed fleets and plant equipment. Multi network connectivity and optional BLE extend deployment flexibility while keeping the solution compact.
Because the AT211 is fully Plaspy compatible, it can be added to Plaspy monitoring stacks to deliver location visibility, event driven alerts, and asset level reporting without complex custom development.
