Feature Overview​

The Coban GPS109 is a compact GPS tracker designed for remote location and monitoring over GSM/GPRS networks. It offers precise position reporting, configurable tracking modes, a set of common alarms and notifications, and a rugged IP67 enclosure suitable for many field conditions.

  • Real time and periodic location reporting to a tracking platform using the mobile network and GPS satellites.
  • High location accuracy reported to approximately 5 meters for precise mapping and route reconstruction.
  • Multiple alarm types such as geo-fence, movement, overspeed, shock, and low battery to alert operators to changing conditions.
  • Long runtime and rechargeable battery for extended deployments without frequent maintenance.
  • Compact, lightweight design with IP67 waterproofing for outdoor and vehicle use.

Core Features of Coban - GPS109​

  • GSM/GPRS network connectivity for data reporting over mobile networks.
  • High sensitivity GPS module with typical location accuracy around 5 meters.
  • Multiple tracking modes including single locate and continuous auto tracking.
  • Alarms and notifications including geo-fence, movement alarm, over speed alarm, shock sensor alarm, and low battery alarm.
  • Support for adding and deleting authorized phone numbers for limited remote access.
  • Exact street address reporting where supported by network and service provider location services.
  • Sleep mode and power management features to extend battery life between reports.
  • IP67 rated enclosure for water and dust resistance in diverse environments.

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy receives and processes position and event reports from compatible Coban GPS109 devices so teams can monitor assets and respond to alerts. Plaspy automatically detects many tracker protocols and exposes location, status, and alarm information in the platform interface.

  • Location updates from the GPS109 appear on Plaspy maps and position history timelines for tracking and route review.
  • Geofence and alarm events reported by the device are presented as notifications or events inside Plaspy for operational response.
  • Device power and battery alerts help identify low battery conditions and schedule maintenance.
  • Continuous or periodic tracking modes allow Plaspy users to choose between real time visibility and battery-saving update intervals.
  • Plaspy can accept device reports sent to the platform domain and typically supports common transport methods; devices can be configured to report using UDP or TCP and Plaspy detects the protocol automatically.

Typical Use Cases​

  • Vehicle location and route monitoring for fleets and deliveries.
  • Asset tracking for portable equipment that requires periodic location updates.
  • Remote site oversight where waterproofing and long battery life are important.
  • Personnel or field worker tracking when compact, discreet units are required.
  • Theft detection and recovery workflows triggered by movement or shock alarms.
  • Delivery and logistics visibility with address-level location reporting.

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Firmware versions and hardware revisions can enable or disable particular functions; check the device firmware level if a feature is not present.
  • Installation method and wiring influence which features are available and how alarms behave in practice.
  • Regional mobile network configurations and SIM behavior affect reporting reliability and address resolution.
  • IP67 rating increases tolerance to wet environments but proper installation and sealing remain important for durability.
  • For configuration details and the latest specifications consult the manufacturer documentation provided by Coban.
