GOTOP - VT-380A
The GOTOP VT-380A is a vehicle GPS/GPRS tracking device designed for real time tracking and fleet management. It uses an onboard GPS module to obtain position data and leverages GSM connectivity to transmit that data to a specified mobile phone or server. The unit includes internal memory so it can store GPS coordinates when a GPRS connection is unavailable or when configured to log at set intervals. An optional microphone can be routed into the vehicle cabin for monitoring where permitted.
This model is compatible with Plaspy, making it a viable device for organizations that want to combine GOTOP hardware with Plaspy fleet software. Plaspy can receive the VT-380A location updates, stored position uploads, driver ID events and alarm notifications to provide consolidated visibility, reporting, and operational oversight for mixed fleets.
