ATrack - AS500 Features
This page describes the public feature context for using the ATrack AS500 tracker with Plaspy. It summarizes the AS500’s practical capabilities and explains how its location, telemetry, and sensor data can be integrated into Plaspy for real time monitoring, historical reporting, and event driven workflows.
Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, regional model, installation method, and manufacturer implementation. Use this page as a practical overview and consult manufacturer documentation for device specific technical details and the latest firmware notes.
Feature Overview
The AS500 is a rugged, long standby asset tracker designed for harsh environments and unpowered assets. It combines durable mechanical protection, efficient power management, and multiple positioning inputs to provide continuous tracking and event reporting suitable for construction, mining, logistics yards, and other demanding deployments.
- Durable IP67 and IP69K rated enclosure with MIL STD resistance for demanding outdoor use
- Very long standby life on primary cells designed for daily reporting, reducing maintenance for unpowered assets
- High quality GNSS positioning using a 99 channel receiver for reliable outdoors accuracy
- Wi Fi scanning and Bluetooth Low Energy 5.1 to extend location awareness indoors and capture nearby sensor telemetry
- LTE Cat M1 cellular connectivity with support for UDP, TCP and MQTT transport and flexible SIM options
- Local event queueing to preserve telemetry during connectivity gaps so data is delivered to Plaspy when the link restores
Core Features of ATrack - AS500
- Rugged mechanical protection with IP67 and IP69K ratings and MIL STD environmental resistance
- Long battery life optimized for multi year standby on primary cells with deep sleep power modes
- 99 channel GNSS supporting GPS and GLONASS for consistent outdoor positioning
- Wi Fi scanning and BLE 5.1 for indoor location augmentation and remote sensor data
- LTE Cat M1 cellular modem with Nano SIM and eSIM options and support for UDP TCP MQTT transports
- Local flash queueing for offline buffering of events and locations
- Tamper and door open detection inputs plus onboard support for motion and related events
- Remote management capability via ADM and UART for configuration and firmware maintenance
How These Features Work with Plaspy
When deployed with Plaspy, the AS500 streams and buffers location and sensor data so administrators can monitor assets in real time and review historical telemetry. Plaspy ingests the device telemetry, provides configurable alerts and visualizes data across dashboards suited to asset tracking and security workflows.
- Real time position updates and telemetry are received in Plaspy for live maps and asset lists
- Queued data stored on the device is uploaded to Plaspy after connectivity is restored so history remains complete
- BLE and Wi Fi scan results and attached sensor readings appear in Plaspy dashboards to help with mixed indoor/outdoor visibility
- Tamper, door open, and motion events are reported to Plaspy to trigger alerts and automated workflows
- Device provisioning and remote configuration are supported through Plaspy aligned device management processes
Typical Use Cases
- Long term monitoring of containers, trailers and other unpowered assets across logistics operations
- Equipment and tool tracking on construction sites and in mining environments that face harsh conditions
- Generator and stationary equipment oversight using motion and tamper events for theft prevention
- Mixed indoor and outdoor asset coverage by combining GNSS outdoors with Wi Fi and BLE indoors
- Yard management and temporary fleet adjunct tracking where intermittent connectivity and buffering are common
Feature Availability Notes
- Feature sets can differ by firmware level and hardware revision; check the device firmware release notes for specifics
- Regional variants may provide different cellular band coverage and carrier approvals; choose the model suited to your market
- Battery life estimates depend on reporting frequency, environmental conditions, and enabled sensors
- Installation method and wiring can affect available inputs and tamper detection behavior
- Consult the official manufacturer documentation for the most current technical specifications and regulatory approvals
