CalmAmp - TTU-700 Features

This page provides a public, features-oriented summary of the CalmAmp TTU-700 and how its capabilities map to monitoring and fleet workflows in Plaspy. It is written for fleet managers, integrators, and technical users who want to understand the device-level features relevant to long term trailer and asset tracking when using Plaspy as the platform.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware level, hardware revision, regional variant, installation choices, and manufacturer implementation. Use this page for general guidance and consult the device documentation for the definitive technical and installation details.

Feature Overview​

The TTU-700 is a compact, battery powered trailer tracking device intended for long-term deployments with minimal maintenance. Its combination of internal battery, integrated antennas, multi-network cellular support, programmable event logic, and over-the-air management make it suited to unattended assets where long life and reliable reporting matter.

  • Long duration battery operation with a non-rechargeable internal battery designed for extended deployments
  • Small form factor and integrated GPS and cellular antennas allow flexible mounting without external antenna wiring
  • Support for multiple cellular network technologies to maximize coverage across different regions
  • Communication using enhanced SMS or UDP messaging to transport device messages over cellular networks
  • PEG programmable event generator for rule based alerts on time, motion, location, geo-zone, inputs, and combined conditions
  • PULS over-the-air device management for remote configuration, firmware updates, and fleet health visibility

Core Features of CalmAmp - TTU-700​

  • Non-rechargeable internal battery intended for long term, low maintenance asset deployments
  • Compact, mount-anywhere design using internal cellular and GPS antennas to simplify installation
  • Multi-network cellular compatibility for broader cellular coverage and network flexibility
  • Message transport via enhanced SMS and UDP messaging methods for reliable reporting
  • PEG programmable event generator for on-board, exception-based rules and fast event detection
  • PULS over-the-air management system for remote configuration, firmware updates, and device monitoring
  • Engineered to reduce total cost of ownership through low power consumption and field reliability

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy can ingest location updates, events, and status reports from compatible CalmAmp TTU-700 units so users can monitor assets and respond to exceptions from a central platform. Plaspy detects supported tracker protocols and presents device data in mapping and reporting interfaces for operational use.

  • Location updates and tracking history appear in Plaspy maps and movement timelines for asset visibility
  • PEG-triggered events such as motion, geo-zone entry or exit, and time-based rules can be shown as alerts or events inside Plaspy
  • Device battery and health reports are visible in Plaspy to help manage long-term deployed units and maintenance planning
  • Plaspy automatically recognizes common tracker protocols and accepts device messages for streamlined onboarding
  • Remote configuration workflows in Plaspy can be combined with CalAmp PULS managed updates when supported by your deployment model

Typical Use Cases​

  • Long-term trailer tracking where units remain attached for months or seasons without regular servicing
  • Unattended asset monitoring for containers, chassis, or other trailers in storage or transit
  • Rental and lease fleet oversight where low maintenance and long battery life reduce operating cost
  • Supply chain logistics for tracking assets across multimodal transport and storage intervals
  • Seasonal equipment tracking and inventory control for assets that are parked for extended periods

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Functionality depends on device firmware and hardware revision; not all features may be available on every unit
  • Cellular network technology support varies by regional variant and mobile operator availability
  • PEG rule capabilities and the range of trigger conditions depend on device firmware and configuration options
  • PULS over-the-air services may require manufacturer service access and specific provisioning to use remotely
  • Installation practices, antenna placement, and mounting location can affect GPS and cellular reception and therefore reporting quality

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using Plaspy together with the CalmAmp TTU-700 provides a practical path to maintain visibility of long-term deployed trailers and unattended assets. The TTU-700’s low-power design, internal antennas, and on-board event logic give field reliability while Plaspy aggregates location data, event alerts, and device health into a single operational view. This combination helps teams reduce manual checks, prioritize maintenance, and respond faster to exceptions.
