Core Features of Meitrack - MT-80i
- SiRF III GPS engine for satellite based location and AGPS assisted positioning
- Quad band GSM support for broad regional network compatibility
- Multiple reporting options via SMS and GPRS using the MEITRACK protocol
- On demand tracking and scheduled tracking by time or distance interval
- Internal 4 Mb memory for local position logging and replay
- Inbuilt motion sensor to support movement detection and power management
- SOS alarm for emergency alerts and priority notification
- Listen in function to remotely monitor surrounding audio where supported by local settings and firmware
How These Features Work with Plaspy
Plaspy ingests location and event data from compatible trackers and presents that data in a centralized interface for monitoring and historical review. When an MT-80i device is configured to report to Plaspy, the platform can display position updates, surface events, and retain history for operational use.
- Plaspy automatically detects supported tracker protocols and accepts MT-80i reports for position and event processing
- Scheduled interval and distance based reports appear as regular position updates and can be visualized on maps and in trip history
- SOS alarm and motion based events are presented as alerts in Plaspy so operators can prioritize responses
- Logged positions stored on the device can be uploaded and reconciled with Plaspy history to fill gaps when network connectivity is intermittent
- Remote commands available via GSM GPRS or SMS can be used to request on demand tracking or to trigger device functions where supported by the device firmware
Typical Use Cases
- Personal safety and location sharing for outdoor activities or lone workers
- Pet tracking by attaching the unit to a collar for real time location updates and history
- Asset tracking for portable equipment where compact size and internal logging are valuable
- Vehicle tracking for secondary or leased vehicles that require a small form factor tracker
- Temporary deployments where battery powered operation and simple installation are needed
- Emergency monitoring situations where SOS alerts and remote listen in can assist response
Feature Availability Notes
- Firmware and hardware revisions can enable or limit specific functions such as listen in behaviour and logging details
- Regional GSM band support and mobile network availability affect connectivity and reporting reliability
- Installation method and mount location influence GPS reception and motion sensor effectiveness
- Some remote features require specific firmware settings or SIM provider services to operate properly
- Always confirm the exact feature set for a purchased unit against the manufacturer specification and the device firmware version
Why Use Plaspy with These Features
