BCE - FM-500 Blue
The BCE FM-500 Blue is a compact and versatile GPS tracker designed for object and vehicle tracking. It acquires location, speed, and direction information using GPS and GLONASS positioning and transfers data via the GSM network. The device includes digital and analog inputs and outputs for connecting external sensors and equipment, and it can read FMS CAN data using the J1939 protocol, making it suitable for a range of tracking scenarios.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the FM-500 Blue can feed its positioning and vehicle data into the Plaspy platform for centralized monitoring and reporting. Its flexible configuration and multiple interfaces make it a practical choice for organizations that want to combine reliable tracking hardware with Plaspy’s visibility, alerting, and operational oversight tools.
