Telic - SBC3 IO Features
This page provides a public feature overview of the Telic SBC3 IO and explains how those capabilities relate to using the device with Plaspy. It summarizes the device attributes that matter for location reporting, outdoor installation, and telematics use cases when paired with the Plaspy platform.
Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, the specific installation method, and manufacturer implementation choices. For device specific configuration, limits, or firmware updates consult the official Telic documentation and release notes.
Feature Overview
The SBC3 IO is a rugged, water resistant telematics unit designed for outdoor location applications and simple installation. It combines a high sensitivity GPS receiver and integrated antennas with a built in rechargeable battery and configurable digital and analog inputs and outputs to support a variety of tracking and monitoring workflows.
- Rugged water resistant housing suitable for outdoor track and trace installations
- High sensitivity GPS reception for reliable position fixes in open and semi sheltered environments
- Integrated GSM and GPS antennas for simplified mounting and fast installation
- Built in rechargeable battery to continue sending position data when main power is removed
- Digital and analog inputs and outputs to capture external signals and implement telematics logic
Core Features of Telic - SBC3 IO
- Rugged and water resistant enclosure designed for outdoor deployments
- High sensitivity GPS receiver for accurate location reporting
- Integrated GSM and GPS antennas to reduce installation complexity
- Built in rechargeable battery that supports position transmissions without main power
- Digital inputs to receive binary signals from external devices or sensors
- Analog inputs for monitoring variable signals where supported by the hardware
- Digital outputs to control or signal external equipment from telematics events
How These Features Work with Plaspy
Plaspy collects and presents the telemetry and event data reported by compatible trackers so operators can monitor assets and respond to conditions. The SBC3 IO features translate into visibility and operational data inside Plaspy in several practical ways.
- Location updates from the high sensitivity GPS feed shown on Plaspy maps and history views
- Battery fallback signals help Plaspy identify devices that are operating on internal power versus main power
- Digital and analog input states can be surfaced as events or telemetry fields in Plaspy for monitoring and reporting
- Integrated antennas and a simple installation reduce setup time before the device begins reporting to Plaspy
- Plaspy automatically detects compatible tracker protocols and accepts incoming reports so devices can start reporting with minimal platform configuration
Typical Use Cases
- Outdoor fleet vehicles and equipment where weather resistance is required
- Asset tracking for trailers, containers, or remote field equipment
- Service life or usage monitoring of vehicles using digital or analog input recording
- Rental equipment tracking where battery backed reporting is useful during movement or power loss
- Construction site or temporary installations requiring rugged enclosure and simple antenna setup
Feature Availability Notes
- Functionality and available telemetry fields depend on the installed firmware version and hardware revision
- Some digital or analog input behaviors may vary by installation wiring and the device configuration applied by the installer
- Regional or carrier variants may affect cellular behavior and antenna performance
- Manufacturer documentation should be referenced for supported input ranges, wiring diagrams, and battery specifications
- Plaspy reflects the data the device reports; feature visibility in Plaspy requires the device to be configured to send the relevant signals
Why Use Plaspy with These Features
Using the Telic SBC3 IO with Plaspy provides a centralized way to visualize location, monitor input driven events, and maintain historic records for assets deployed outdoors. Plaspy’s device detection and event handling make it straightforward to bring location reports and input states into a single operational view, which helps teams manage field resources and respond to changes quickly.
