GlobalSat - TR-520
![]()
The TR-520 is a battery powered GPS tracker designed for long term deployments where low maintenance and rugged reliability are priorities. It combines a built in GNSS receiver, a 3 axis accelerometer, BLE capability for improved indoor positioning, and a large non rechargeable battery to deliver ongoing location updates and motion awareness for assets, vehicles, and animals in the field.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the TR-520 can feed location, movement and device health information into Plaspy for visualization, reporting, and operational workflows. Its low power wide area connectivity makes it suitable for deployments that require extended battery life while still providing timely updates to Plaspy dashboards and alerting systems.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for long term, low maintenance deployments.
- Uses LTE M and NB IoT connectivity for low power, wide area transmission of location data.
- Large 19Ah non rechargeable battery for extended field life in remote monitoring scenarios.
- Built in GNSS receiver and 3 axis accelerometer for movement detection and route history.
- BLE support to assist indoor positioning and proximity based workflows.
- Rugged IP69K waterproof rating to withstand harsh outdoor and agricultural environments.
How It Works with Plaspy
When integrated with Plaspy, the TR-520 provides a steady stream of location and event data that can be visualized and acted upon inside the platform. Plaspy ingests the device's periodic location fixes and movement events so operations teams can monitor assets, investigate routes, and trigger rules for alerts and maintenance.
- Real time and periodic location updates flow into Plaspy dashboards for live tracking and historical playback.
- Movement detection from the accelerometer supports stop and start alerts, route monitoring, and geofence events.
- BLE assisted positioning helps Plaspy refine location context where GNSS signals are limited, improving indoor and proximity workflows.
- Battery and device health status are available in Plaspy to plan maintenance and replacements before service interruptions.
- OTA firmware updates and remote configuration support keep devices aligned with Plaspy integration settings and operational requirements.
Typical Use Cases
- Fleet management for trailers or low power vehicles that require long battery intervals between service visits.
- Remote asset monitoring in industrial and agricultural environments exposed to water and dust.
- Livestock and animal tracking for seasonal or multi month deployments where durability and battery life matter.
- Hybrid outdoor and indoor scenarios where GNSS provides outdoor fixes and BLE improves indoor location accuracy.
- Periodic telemetry collection for operations that need regular updates rather than continuous high bandwidth connections.
