Coban - TK102 Features

This page provides a public feature overview for the Coban TK102 GPS tracker and how those capabilities are used with Plaspy. It explains the tracker functions that are commonly visible to tracking platforms, the types of alerts and monitoring the device can produce, and how those items map to operational visibility inside Plaspy.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by device firmware, hardware revision, how the unit is installed, and the manufacturer implementation. Where useful, this page highlights commonly reported capabilities from Coban TK102 units, but you should confirm details for a specific unit and firmware version with the manufacturer documentation.

Feature Overview​

The Coban TK102 is a GPS tracker designed to locate and monitor remote targets using cellular network connectivity and satellite positioning. It supports multiple reporting and alert modes that are practical for vehicle and personal tracking, and it can be configured to report via SMS or data channels.

  • Real time and periodic position reporting for location awareness
  • Alerts for movement, overspeed, shock, geo fence, SOS, low battery, and GPS blind spot
  • Location fallback using GSM LBS and absolute street address reporting where supported
  • Data logging and uploads for historical tracking and playback
  • Configurable reporting modes including SMS and GPRS with TCP or UDP transport
  • Remote monitoring features such as voice surveillance and authorization controls

Core Features of Coban - TK102​

  • Positioning modes: single locating and automatic track modes for on demand or continuous position updates
  • Alarm and alert functions: shock sensor alarm, movement alert, overspeed alert, SOS alert, low battery alert, and GPS blind spot alert
  • Geo fence and movement management: configurable geo fence with entry and exit alerts and movement detection
  • Monitoring and authorization: Monitor voice surveillance function and user authorization settings
  • Data handling: onboard data logging, data load and upload options for historical routes and events
  • Power and sleep options: multiple sleep modes including timed sleep, shock sensor controlled sleep, and a no sleep option
  • Connectivity and configuration: TCP/UDP switch, GPRS settings, SMS and GPRS mode switching, USB parameter configuration, and IMEI checking

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy receives position reports and events from compatible Coban TK102 devices and presents them in a unified tracking view. Plaspy automatically detects common tracker protocols and accepts the device reports so events and locations become visible in the platform.

  • Device locations appear on the Plaspy map as reported by the tracker, including recorded history from data logging
  • Alerts such as geo fence triggers, overspeed, movement, SOS, and low battery are shown as events and can be used to create notifications or workflows
  • Monitor status and authorization changes reported by the device are recorded as device events in Plaspy for operational oversight
  • Mode and connectivity states such as SMS versus GPRS reporting are reflected in the device status shown in Plaspy
  • Plaspy accepts TCP or UDP reporting from devices and automatically detects the correct protocol for ingestion

Typical Use Cases​

  • Vehicle theft deterrence and recovery with real time location and movement alerts
  • Family or personal safety monitoring using SOS and movement alerts
  • Field staff or personnel oversight with periodic tracking and route history
  • Asset tracking and historical playback using the device data logging capability
  • Rental fleet monitoring to track usage, location, and alert conditions
  • Security operations that require remote monitoring and event visibility

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Some features depend on the device firmware version and may be added, removed, or behave differently across firmware revisions
  • Hardware variants and regional models can change which functions are present or how sensors behave
  • Certain alerts and features require proper installation and wiring to provide the expected signals to the tracker
  • SMS versus GPRS behavior can vary depending on SIM carrier and device configuration
  • Manufacturer configuration menus and commands control many features; consult official Coban configuration guides for exact commands

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the Coban TK102 with Plaspy gives organizations a single platform to view location data, receive alerts, and manage device events across a mixed fleet of trackers. Plaspy consolidates position reports, historical tracks, and alert events so operations teams can monitor assets and respond to incidents without needing to manage raw device messages.
