Xirgo - XT-4970
The Xirgo XT-4970 is an energy harvesting LTE smart trailer solution designed for long term remote deployments where frequent maintenance is impractical. Built for trailer and container tracking as well as heavy equipment monitoring, it combines energy harvesting with embedded cellular and GPS antennas to provide persistent location awareness without regular battery replacements. The device is ruggedized with an IP67 rating and includes a backup battery to support continuous operation in harsh environments.
As a Plaspy compatible device, the XT-4970 can feed location and status information into Plaspy for centralized visibility and fleet management. Its long life design and dual carrier LTE support for major US networks make it well suited for assets that travel across regions or remain in remote locations. When paired with Plaspy, the XT-4970 helps reduce maintenance burden while enabling operational oversight, reporting, and alerting through a single fleet platform.
Key Highlights
- Energy harvesting design for extended deployments with reduced battery replacement needs
- Dual carrier LTE support for broad cellular connectivity across major US networks
- Embedded cellular and GPS antennas for consistent signal reception and positioning
- High precision GPS engine paired with motion detection for reliable location and activity reporting
- IP67 rating for dust and water resistance in challenging environments
- Built in backup battery to maintain operation when primary energy is unavailable
- Optional connectivity options such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, 1 Wire, and IO for expanded sensor integration
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the XT-4970 provides continuous location and event data that Plaspy ingests for monitoring, alerts, and reporting. Plaspy can display real time and historical location tracks, surface motion and impact events reported by the device, and consolidate those signals with other fleet data for operational insights.
- Real time location tracking and historical route playback within Plaspy dashboards
- Motion and impact event visibility to detect movement or potential incidents
- Configurable alerts and geofences to notify teams about location changes or boundary events
- Long term deployment support with low maintenance tracking for assets in remote or unpowered scenarios
- Integration of optional sensor inputs to surface additional telemetry alongside location data
Typical Use Cases
- Trailer and container tracking across long haul or storage deployments
- Long term unpowered asset monitoring where battery maintenance is limited
- Heavy equipment visibility for construction and industrial fleets
- Remote site asset oversight for infrequently accessed locations
- Impact and movement monitoring for asset protection and operational planning
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The XT-4970 is a practical choice for organizations that need sustained visibility of unpowered or hard to reach assets. Its energy harvesting capability reduces the need for frequent battery changes, while dual carrier LTE support increases the likelihood of cellular connectivity across wider areas. Paired with Plaspy, the device helps fleet managers centralize tracking, alerts, and reporting, lowering operational overhead for long term deployments.
