Coban - BN-303F Features

This page provides a public overview of the Coban BN-303F tracker and how its capabilities are used with the Plaspy platform. It focuses on the practical, non sensitive features that matter for vehicle tracking, alarm handling, and fleet monitoring when the BN-303F is deployed with Plaspy.

Exact feature availability for any BN-303F unit can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation wiring and accessories, and the manufacturer implementation. Review the manufacturer documentation and the installed unit configuration when planning deployments or relying on specific functions.

Feature Overview​

The BN-303F is a compact vehicle-mounted GPS tracker designed for concealed installation and continuous telematics reporting. When paired with Plaspy, it provides location visibility, configurable alarms, and remote control options for routine fleet oversight and anti-theft workflows.

  • GNSS positioning with typical accuracy around 5 meters for reliable vehicle location and track playback.
  • 2G GSM GPRS communication with TCP, UDP and SMS transport options for telemetry and command channels.
  • Configurable alarm set including SOS, movement or shock detection, geofence, door open, ACC ignition, overspeed and low battery alerts.
  • Remote control and immobilization style functions via fuel or power cutoff when required wiring and accessories are installed.
  • Vehicle power support with 12–24 V connection plus an internal backup battery for limited operation during external power loss.

Core Features of Coban - BN-303F​

  • High precision GNSS receiver for real time location and historical track playback.
  • 2G GSM GPRS connectivity supporting TCP, UDP and SMS reporting modes.
  • Event driven reporting and configurable alarm types such as SOS, geofence, door open, ACC ignition, overspeed, shock and low battery.
  • Remote control capability for fuel or power cutoff with appropriate relay or accessory wiring installed.
  • Compact, concealed form factor suitable for cars, commercial trucks and rental vehicles.
  • Internal rechargeable backup battery for short term operation during external power loss.
  • External interfaces support including microphone input, relay output, and optional accessories such as siren and fuel sensor.

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When configured to report to Plaspy, the BN-303F streams location and event data into Plaspy for visibility, alerting and historical review. Plaspy ingests telemetry from the device and maps event signals into notifications, track displays and fleet reports.

  • Real time and periodic position reporting transmitted to Plaspy servers (d.plaspy.com) over TCP or UDP with SMS as a fallback.
  • Event flags from ACC ignition, door open and shock/movement are visible in Plaspy as event markers and can trigger alerts.
  • Geofence breaches and SOS alarms can generate immediate notifications and be included in incident workflows inside Plaspy.
  • Remote commands for power or fuel cutoff and other supported controls can be issued from Plaspy when the device and installation support those functions.
  • Historical track playback, live location, and alarm timelines are available for operational review and incident investigation.

Typical Use Cases​

  • Fleet management for small and medium commercial fleets requiring live tracking and route playback.
  • Vehicle anti theft and recovery workflows using concealed installation, SOS alarm and remote cutoff options.
  • Rental and lease vehicle monitoring with door, ignition and low battery alerts to protect assets.
  • Logistics oversight where geofence and event logs support delivery confirmations and route auditing.
  • Company vehicle oversight to consolidate telemetry for scheduling and operational visibility.

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Some functions require specific firmware versions or hardware revisions; verify installed firmware before relying on a particular capability.
  • Remote immobilizer or fuel cutoff typically requires additional wiring, a relay output and any optional fuel sensor; check the unit wiring and installation.
  • Regional variants or cellular banding may affect 2G connectivity where local network shutdowns or restrictions apply.
  • Manufacturer implementation of alarms and voice features can vary; consult official Coban documentation for precise behavior.
  • Plaspy platform features such as alert routing and command support depend on device reporting and correct configuration within Plaspy.

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Pairing the BN-303F with Plaspy provides a practical telemetry endpoint and a cloud management layer for visibility and operational oversight. Plaspy consolidates location reporting, event alerts and historical tracks into a single interface so fleet managers and vehicle owners can monitor status, respond to incidents, and review activity over time.
