Reachfar - RF-V26+ Features
This page provides a public feature overview for the Reachfar RF-V26+ animal GPS tracker and describes how its capabilities are used with Plaspy. It focuses on user facing features and practical functions that matter when integrating on-animal position feeds into Plaspy for monitoring, mapping, and basic telemetry.
Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, installation method, and the manufacturer implementation. Where specific capabilities depend on firmware reporting or configuration, this page notes the practical effects but users should verify the device details in the official Reachfar documentation.
Feature Overview
The RF-V26+ is a compact, purpose built GPS tracker for livestock and large animals designed to provide straightforward position and status reporting suitable for Plaspy integration. It emphasizes an on-animal friendly form factor, solar assisted power, and a rugged waterproof enclosure to support extended field deployments where frequent maintenance is undesirable.
- Small and lightweight collar friendly form factor for sheep, horses, cows and similar animals
- Solar assisted charging to extend operational life and reduce recharging frequency
- Rugged waterproof enclosure intended for outdoor grazing and harsh environments
- Ships with a holder and magnet USB charging cable for simple mounting and charging
- Provides GPS position and basic status data designed for integration with Plaspy
- Practical packaging and bulk options to support fleet deployment and inventory needs
Core Features of Reachfar - RF-V26+
- GPS positioning designed for on-animal location reporting
- Compact dimensions and low weight for collar or holder mounting
- Solar assisted power design to extend field operation between charges
- Rugged, waterproof enclosure for outdoor use in grazing environments
- Supplied holder and magnet USB charging cable for commissioning and maintenance

How These Features Work with Plaspy
When the RF-V26+ is integrated into Plaspy, its position and reported status appear within Plaspy maps, history trails, and telemetry records. Plaspy automatically detects the tracker protocol used by compatible devices and renders location updates and available telemetry for operational use.
- Live positions and movement trails shown on Plaspy maps for real time awareness
- Historical location history available for grazing pattern review and analysis
- Power and charging status available in Plaspy when the device firmware reports power telemetry
- Geofence based alerts and perimeter monitoring visible as notifications in Plaspy
- Compatibility with Plaspy reporting and export tools to include tracker data in operational workflows
Typical Use Cases
- Grazing management to map pasture usage and optimize rotation schedules
- Anti loss monitoring with perimeter alerts when animals stray beyond set boundaries
- Remote herd supervision to reduce the need for continuous physical checks
- Asset tracking for collars and holders used on working animals or mounted equipment
- Historical movement analysis to support breeding, health, and resource planning
- Inventory scale deployments where bulk packing and simple commissioning reduce setup time
Feature Availability Notes
- Manufacturer firmware and hardware revisions can change reported capabilities and telemetry fields
- Some device information such as power telemetry or alert behavior depends on firmware that reports those values
- Regional variants or out of production status may affect availability and lead times
- Installation type and mounting method can influence antenna performance and position accuracy
- Always consult Reachfar documentation for the precise specifications and the latest firmware notes
Why Use Plaspy with These Features
Pairing the RF-V26+ with Plaspy provides a practical way to turn on-animal GPS position and basic status reports into operational insight. Plaspy makes location data visible on maps, preserves movement history for analysis, and surfaces alerts for perimeter or status events so farm managers and teams can act efficiently.
