Astra Telematics - AT502
The AT502 from Astra Telematics is a compact, battery powered GPS tracker designed for discreet long term monitoring of small unpowered assets. It combines multi constellation GNSS positioning, low power cellular connectivity with modern low bandwidth modes and a user focused power design to deliver extended operational life in demanding field conditions. The device is described as rugged and simple to mount, making it suited to items such as containers, tools and portable equipment.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the AT502 can feed location fixes and basic telemetry into Plaspy for real time visibility, historical playback and routine reporting. Its emphasis on long battery life, environmental protection and simple on site configuration aligns with common Plaspy workflows for asset visibility, anti theft alerts and low maintenance fleet monitoring, allowing operators to add persistent tracking without frequent servicing.

How It Works with Plaspy
When integrated with Plaspy, the AT502 transmits location and device health information to the platform so teams can monitor assets in near real time and review movement history. Plaspy ingests the device data to drive alerts, reports and operational dashboards that help manage inventory, support recovery workflows and reduce downtime.
- Deliver real time location updates and periodic telemetry into Plaspy for map based tracking and playback.
- Surface battery and connectivity health in Plaspy to help plan maintenance and replacement cycles.
- Generate movement and motion alerts to trigger anti theft workflows or operational notifications.
- Use BLE for secure local configuration and diagnostics prior to or after deployment.
- Combine AT502 data with Plaspy reporting and export tools to produce operational summaries and audits.
Typical Use Cases
- Long term tracking of small unpowered assets such as tools, instrument cases and portable equipment.
- Container and pallet monitoring where periodic location checks and long battery life are priorities.
- Inventory and rental equipment management to maintain visibility without frequent site visits.
- Anti theft and recovery operations that rely on movement alerts and cloud based location reporting.
- Distributed assets in outdoor or harsh environments that require IP rated protection and flexible mounting.
