Ruptela - Asset5 Features
This page provides a public feature overview for the Ruptela Asset5 and how its capabilities are presented when used with Plaspy. It is intended to help fleet managers, operations teams, and integrators understand the practical functions of the Asset5 tracker and what to expect when adding the device to a Plaspy fleet.
Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, regional product variant, and installation choices. For device specific configuration details and the latest technical documentation, consult Ruptela and your device firmware release notes.
Feature Overview
The Asset5 is a compact, rugged tracker designed for long term, low maintenance monitoring of unpowered and high value assets. It emphasizes battery life, resilient positioning, and simple on‑site configuration to deliver reliable location and basic telemetry for containers, trailers, rental equipment, and other remote assets.
- Long autonomous operation on replaceable AA LiSOCl2 cells for low maintenance tracking.
- Multi‑constellation GNSS positioning with Cell‑ID fallback for resilient location fixes.
- Global cellular connectivity in narrowband and LTE class variants to maximize coverage.
- IP68 rated compact housing for outdoor mounting in harsh conditions.
- Bluetooth LE for local configuration and BLE advertisement for on‑site identification.
- Motion aware reporting that increases update frequency when movement is detected.
Core Features of Ruptela - Asset5
- Long battery life optimized for sparse reporting schedules with replaceable 2× LiSOCl2 AA cells.
- Multi‑constellation GNSS support including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou with Cell‑ID fallback.
- Cellular connectivity variants including LTE Cat 1bis, Cat M1, and NB‑IoT with 2G fallback depending on model.
- IP68 waterproof and dustproof enclosure sized for discreet mounting in outdoor environments.
- Bluetooth LE 6.0 for wireless on‑site configuration and BLE advertisement mode for local workflows.
- Built‑in 3‑axis accelerometer to detect motion and trigger more frequent reporting.
- Programmable action button for local functions such as panic or identification signaling.
How These Features Work with Plaspy
When deployed with Plaspy, Asset5 devices transmit location fixes and basic telemetry so operators can monitor assets in near real time and review historical activity. Plaspy reads and presents GNSS fixes, cellular location fallbacks, motion events, and battery state to support tracking and alerting workflows.
- Real‑time location updates appear in Plaspy dashboards and maps for continuous awareness.
- Motion triggered reporting increases the frequency of updates in Plaspy when assets move.
- Battery status and device health telemetry are visible in Plaspy to aid maintenance planning.
- Bluetooth LE enables local configuration at the asset while Plaspy handles remote visibility and alerts.
- Historical location trails and event logs in Plaspy support investigations and recovery efforts.
Typical Use Cases
- Stolen asset detection and recovery for trailers, containers, and parked equipment using motion alerts and location reporting.
- Rental and leasing operations where long battery life reduces maintenance and downtime.
- Monitoring of construction and heavy equipment attachments that are not wired to vehicle power.
- Inventory and site presence checks using BLE advertisement mode for on‑site identification workflows.
- Long term remote telemetry for assets deployed in rural or distributed environments where power is not available.
Feature Availability Notes
- Battery life estimates depend strongly on reporting intervals, motion frequency, temperature, and cellular conditions.
- Cellular bands and modem variants vary by product model and region; confirm the correct variant for your deployment needs.
- Bluetooth LE features require local mobile configuration tools and appropriate firmware support.
- Motion detection sensitivity and reporting logic may change with firmware revisions.
- Manufacturer documentation and firmware release notes are the authoritative source for device specific capabilities.
