OKB Tehnoavtomatika - MTA-02 GLONASS Features

This page describes the public feature context for using the OKB Tehnoavtomatika MTA-02 GLONASS tracker with Plaspy. It focuses on user facing capabilities, how those capabilities can appear inside Plaspy, and practical deployment considerations relevant to fleet and asset tracking operations.

Exact feature availability and behaviour can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation method, regional variants, and manufacturer configuration. Always consult official manufacturer documentation and firmware release notes for the most current, device specific details.

Feature Overview​

The MTA-02 GLONASS is a compact satellite tracker built for reliable position reporting and remote telemetry over cellular networks. It mixes a high sensitivity GLONASS/GPS receiver with flexible power and communications options to support continuous tracking and periodic reporting.

  • 50 channel high sensitivity GLONASS/GPS receiver for improved satellite visibility
  • Wide voltage input range of 9 V to 50 V for flexible vehicle and equipment power connections
  • Built in rechargeable battery providing standby operation and short power interruption tolerance
  • Cellular communications via GSM 900 and 1800 bands with GPRS data and SMS messaging
  • Fast technical readiness with a cold start readiness time no more than 3 minutes and at least 6 hours standby
  • Compact IP30 enclosure with small form factor suitable for discreet installations

Core Features of OKB Tehnoavtomatika - MTA-02 GLONASS​

  • GLONASS and GPS satellite tracking using a 50 channel MNP-M7 receiver
  • Support for GPRS data transmission for live or periodic position updates
  • SMS send and receive capability including reception of SMS messages from subscribers
  • Built in rechargeable battery for backup power and controlled standby time
  • Broad power input range from 9 V up to 50 V for compatibility with common vehicle and equipment systems
  • Rapid technical readiness and defined standby time that support intermittent tracking scenarios
  • Compact physical dimensions and a lightweight IP30 enclosure for straightforward installation

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy receives device data and presents location, status, and historical information on a unified platform so teams can monitor assets centrally. The MTA-02 GLONASS transmits position and message data over cellular links which Plaspy ingests and displays according to incoming messages and configured reporting intervals.

  • Location updates and position fixes from the GLONASS/GPS receiver are displayed on Plaspy maps and history views
  • GPRS data sessions can deliver periodic telemetry into the Plaspy server for live tracking and route reconstruction
  • SMS based messages can be used for fallback reporting or configuration in deployments where data connectivity is intermittent
  • Plaspy automatically detects supported tracker protocols to simplify device onboarding
  • Devices may be configured to connect to the Plaspy server domain d.plaspy.com using UDP or TCP; Plaspy uses a consistent port for device connectivity to streamline setup

Typical Use Cases​

  • Vehicle fleet tracking where reliable satellite positioning and cellular reporting are required
  • Portable equipment monitoring that benefits from wide input voltage flexibility and a rechargeable battery
  • Remote asset tracking in environments needing compact, lightweight hardware
  • Operations that require SMS fallback for telemetry or simple remote commands
  • Scenarios where fast readiness and defined standby times reduce time to first fix after power cycles

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Firmware differences can enable or limit specific reporting intervals and message formats; confirm the installed firmware release
  • Hardware revisions or regional variants may alter supported cellular bands or enclosure options
  • Installation details such as antenna placement and power wiring affect GNSS reception and device reliability
  • SMS versus GPRS behaviour may vary by mobile network operator and local coverage
  • Manufacturer documentation and configuration guides should be referenced for advanced setup steps

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the MTA-02 GLONASS with Plaspy gives organizations a practical way to consolidate satellite position data and cellular telemetry into a single operational view. Plaspy presents location history, live positions, and device status information to help teams manage routing, asset utilization, and basic operational oversight without needing bespoke integrations.
