Coban - GPS104 Features

This page provides a public feature overview for the Coban GPS104 and explains how its capabilities can be used with Plaspy for tracking and monitoring. It is intended as a practical summary of the GPS104's main functions and how those functions are reflected when the device reports into Plaspy.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by device firmware, hardware revision, installation method, and manufacturer implementation. For device specific configuration, limits, and the latest firmware notes consult the official Coban documentation and the device installation details used by your integrator.

Feature Overview​

The Coban GPS104 combines GPS satellite positioning with GSM GPRS wireless communication to deliver location reporting, configurable tracking modes, and a variety of monitoring and alert functions. It is designed to report position and status to remote monitoring platforms and supports multiple reporting modes to balance update frequency with mobile data usage.

  • Real time GPS positioning and reporting over GPRS for remote tracking and monitoring
  • Multiple tracking modes including single locate, continuous auto tracking, and scheduled tracking based on time intervals
  • Smart tracking options that use time and distance intervals and GPS drift suppression to reduce noise and unnecessary reports
  • Alerts and alarm types such as over speed, accident, shock sensor, SOS, low battery, and power off
  • Remote state checks and management functions including data logging, data load, and oil and power system control
  • Configurability via USB and support for TCP and UDP communications for integration with tracking platforms

Core Features of Coban - GPS104​

  • GPS satellite positioning for location reporting and map visualization
  • GSM GPRS communication to send location and event data to a monitoring platform
  • Multiple tracking modes including single locate, continuous tracking, and interval based tracking
  • Smart tracking with time and distance interval options and GPS drift suppression
  • Alert generation for events such as over speed, shock or accident, SOS, low battery, and power loss
  • Data logging and the ability to forward third party messages for external processing
  • Remote vehicle state checks and control functions including oil and power system control where supported by installation
  • USB configuration for local parameter changes and device setup

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When connected to Plaspy, the GPS104 sends its location and status updates to the platform so you can view positions, history, and events from a central dashboard. Plaspy automatically detects compatible tracker protocols and accepts device reporting over TCP or UDP, which simplifies integration.

  • Real time location updates appear on Plaspy maps for live monitoring and dispatch
  • Historical position data and data logging enable route replay and activity review within Plaspy
  • Device alarms such as overspeed, SOS, low battery, and power off can be surfaced as Plaspy events and notifications
  • Smart tracking and interval reporting help reduce GPRS traffic while preserving meaningful location data in Plaspy
  • Remote state reports and forwarded messages can be captured by Plaspy as status markers for operational oversight
  • Plaspy supports receiving device connections over standard ports and will auto detect the tracker protocol to simplify setup

Typical Use Cases​

  • Fleet tracking for live vehicle location, route monitoring, and historical playback
  • Asset monitoring where periodic location reports and low data usage are important
  • Security monitoring using alarm events and SOS reporting for incident response
  • Remote status checks and simple remote control of power or oil systems when supported by installation
  • Situations that need configurable tracking intervals to balance update frequency with mobile data cost
  • Integration with third party systems by forwarding messages or using Plaspy event exports for workflow automation

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Available features depend on the device firmware version and the specific hardware revision in use
  • Some control functions and voice monitoring features require correct wiring and installer configuration
  • Regional variants and mobile network differences can affect GPRS communication and SMS availability
  • USB configuration access or certain alarms may be restricted by hardware or firmware options
  • Always verify which features are enabled and configurable on any given device prior to deployment

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the Coban GPS104 with Plaspy centralizes location, event, and status information so operations teams can maintain visibility across vehicles and assets. Plaspy's platform aggregates real time updates, historical tracks, and alarm events from devices like the GPS104 to help with dispatch, incident response, and operational reporting.
