OKB Tehnoavtomatika - MPU-01 Features

This page describes the public feature context for the OKB Tehnoavtomatika MPU-01 tracker and how those capabilities relate to use with Plaspy. It summarizes the MPU-01's practical functions as documented by the manufacturer and highlights the aspects most relevant to monitoring, location awareness, and basic remote interaction when integrated with Plaspy.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, optional battery pack, and the way the unit is installed or configured. For precise technical specifications, supported commands, and firmware-dependent functions consult the manufacturer's documentation and release notes.

Feature Overview​

The MPU-01 is a compact GPS tracking unit intended to deliver reliable position data and basic remote communication using GSM SMS. Its design emphasizes accurate satellite reception, low power consumption, and flexible I/O options for simple integration into tracking and monitoring workflows.

  • 50-channel high sensitivity GPS receiver for stable position fixes in typical environments
  • GSM SMS transmit and receive capability on 900/1800 bands for basic remote messaging and status requests
  • Low power consumption designed to operate efficiently with typical vehicle or portable power setups, stated as less than 250 mA in operation
  • Compact form factors with two battery pack dependent thickness options and a lightweight design under 200 grams
  • Multiple input and output configuration choices to support monitoring of external signals or control elements depending on the selected hardware variant

Core Features of OKB Tehnoavtomatika - MPU-01​

  • 50-channel high sensitivity satellite receiver to improve fix reliability
  • GSM SMS send and receive capability using 900 and 1800 bands for remote communication
  • Energy efficient operation with power consumption reported under 250 mA
  • Physical size options 90 × 50 × 16 mm or 90 × 50 × 25 mm depending on battery pack
  • Weight under 200 grams for easy installation and minimal added mass
  • Flexible I/O configurations: variants include combinations of digital inputs, analog input, and a digital output as described by the manufacturer
  • Compact design intended for a variety of tracking and monitoring installations

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy can ingest and display location and status information from compatible trackers such as the MPU-01, presenting position data and input states in the Plaspy interface. Integration depends on the MPU-01 being configured to report to Plaspy and on the particular firmware and device options present in a given unit.

  • GPS coordinates reported by the MPU-01 are shown on Plaspy maps for location awareness and historical route review
  • Digital and analog input states from the device can be represented as events or status indicators within Plaspy depending on how the unit is configured
  • Low power behavior contributes to longer on vehicle or battery-assisted operation and more consistent reporting intervals when used with Plaspy monitoring
  • SMS capability can serve as an alternate communication path for status queries or basic commands depending on device firmware and operator workflow
  • Plaspy automatically detects many tracker protocols to simplify device onboarding; follow Plaspy and manufacturer setup guidance to complete configuration

Typical Use Cases​

  • Vehicle location tracking and route logging where consistent GPS reception is required
  • Remote status monitoring using the unit's digital and analog inputs for simple sensor or signal reporting
  • Asset monitoring for portable or battery powered items benefiting from the device's compact size and low weight
  • Secondary or fallback communication using SMS in areas where direct packet data may be limited
  • Field service coordination and dispatch where up to date position and basic status improve operational decisions

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Feature presence and behavior can vary by firmware version and hardware revision; the listed capabilities reflect manufacturer descriptions
  • The MPU-01 is offered in different configuration variants with alternative input and output mixes; verify which variant you have before assuming feature availability
  • Installation type and wiring can affect what I/O functions are available and how the device reports to a platform like Plaspy
  • Regional GSM band support and regulatory requirements may influence SMS and cellular behavior
  • Consult the manufacturer documentation for exact electrical characteristics and supported command sets for your specific unit

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Pairing the MPU-01 with Plaspy gives organizations a straightforward path to convert the tracker’s GPS fixes and input signals into operational visibility. Plaspy presents position history, live location, and device-reported status in a centralized interface that supports fleet management, asset monitoring, and simple event tracking workflows without requiring deep protocol expertise.
