Autoseeker - AT-17C Features

This page provides a public feature overview for the Autoseeker AT-17C and explains how its capabilities are used with Plaspy for asset and fleet monitoring. It summarizes the tracker functions that are relevant to deployments where Plaspy is used to centralize live positions, scheduled reports and alarm events for trailers, containers, equipment and other movable property.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary depending on device firmware, hardware revision, installation method and the manufacturer implementation. For device specific setup, regional cellular band support, and the latest technical details refer to the manufacturer documentation and firmware release notes.

Feature Overview​

The AT-17C is a long life magnetic asset tracker designed for covert, low maintenance monitoring over cellular networks. It combines multi year standby battery performance, strong magnetic mounting and a waterproof enclosure with configurable reporting options so you can balance update frequency and battery life for long term deployments.

  • Multi year standby battery life for reduced servicing and long term asset deployments
  • 4G LTE with legacy GSM support and dual reporting via SMS and GPRS TCP
  • Configurable tracking modes including time interval, day week scheduling and continuous reporting
  • Strong built in magnet and waterproof enclosure for covert, tool free mounting on metal assets
  • Tamper removal alarm and anti disassembly sensor for anti theft and security monitoring

Core Features of Autoseeker - AT-17C​

  • 4G LTE connectivity with legacy GSM fallback and support for SMS and GPRS TCP reporting
  • Configurable tracking modes: interval tracking, day week schedule, and continuous tracking
  • Tamper and removal alarm with anti disassembly sensing for asset protection
  • Long life internal batteries with multi year standby to minimize maintenance visits
  • Compact magnetic form factor with strong magnet for tool free mounting on metal surfaces
  • Waterproof enclosure suitable for outdoor and industrial asset deployments
  • Extremely low standby power consumption to maximize deployed lifetime

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When integrated with Plaspy, the AT-17C streams location and status reports into a central monitoring platform so operators can see live positions, review history and receive alarms from assets in the field. Plaspy ingests telemetry from devices reporting over cellular channels and surfaces that information in dashboards and reports used for operations and recovery workflows.

  • Live positions and route history are presented in Plaspy when the device reports in continuous or scheduled modes
  • Tamper and removal events are delivered as alarm notifications so security teams can respond quickly
  • Scheduled reporting modes reduce data usage and battery drain while still surfacing periodic location updates in Plaspy
  • SMS reporting can provide remote query and fallback reporting options where GPRS is limited
  • Battery and device status reports help planners schedule maintenance based on real device performance

Typical Use Cases​

  • Long haul trailer and container monitoring where extended battery life reduces field service
  • Covert anti theft deployments with strong magnetic mounting and tamper removal alerts
  • Construction and equipment tracking for intermittent scheduled updates and idle asset visibility
  • Marine and port asset monitoring where robust enclosures and flexible reporting improve coverage
  • Asset recovery workflows that use location reports and tamper alerts to accelerate retrieval
  • Remote or low maintenance sites where SMS query and scheduled reporting lower operating cost

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Firmware and regional hardware revisions can change supported cellular bands and reporting behaviors
  • Some features such as schedule granularity or alarm thresholds may depend on firmware version or provisioning
  • Installation method and physical mounting can affect GPS reception and tamper sensor behavior
  • SMS versus GPRS reporting availability will depend on local cellular coverage and carrier support
  • Always confirm the exact feature set for your purchased unit with the manufacturer documentation

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the AT-17C together with Plaspy provides a practical, low maintenance approach to asset visibility and operational oversight. The tracker is optimized for long term deployments and anti theft use, and Plaspy brings those location and alarm events into a unified monitoring platform so teams can act on live positions, review history and configure alerting workflows without managing device level telemetry themselves.
