Coban - BN-401A
The BN-401A is a compact motorcycle management terminal designed for reliable real time tracking and basic fleet control on scooters, motorcycles and other small vehicles with a 12–24V electrical system. Its low profile form factor and focused feature set provide positioning, movement and shock alarms, SOS signaling and ignition status reporting, making it a practical choice for two wheel vehicle operations. Built for LTE 4G connectivity with GSM fallback and multiple transport methods, the BN-401A is engineered to deliver continuous tracker functionality in a small package.
As a Plaspy compatible device out of the box, the BN-401A can feed location and event data directly into Plaspy for live mapping, alerts and fleet oversight. Its configurable reporting modes and anti theft features such as remote immobilization make it suitable for fleet operators who need to balance frequent updates while minimizing data use when vehicles are stationary. Local configuration via Bluetooth and support for standard setup commands simplify onboarding and deployment within a Plaspy managed fleet.

How It Works with Plaspy
The BN-401A transmits GNSS position and event telemetry to Plaspy using standard transport methods so Plaspy can present live locations, alerts and historical playback. Once the device is added to a Plaspy fleet, its status updates and alarm messages are available for dashboard monitoring, automated notifications and operational reporting. Configurable reporting strategies let you tune the balance between update cadence and data use while keeping safety related events prioritized.
- Real time location and track playback in Plaspy for vehicle visibility and route review.
- Alarm forwarding for SOS movement shock overspeed and low power events to trigger Plaspy alerts and notifications.
- ACC and ignition status reporting to reflect vehicle activity and support operational rules within Plaspy.
- Remote immobilizer commands and status tracked through Plaspy for coordinated response to theft or misuse.
