AL300 Rugged Asset Tracker
The AL300 is a rugged, long-life asset tracker designed for remote and industrial monitoring and is fully suitable for integration with Plaspy-compatible platforms. Built for containers, trailers, generators, heavy machinery and maritime assets, the AL300 brings robust waterproofing, tamper detection and years-long battery life to fleet management and asset-protection workflows.
The AL300 is optimized for long-term passive monitoring while also supporting more frequent reporting for telemetry and near-real-time tracking when required. With IP68 sealing, ATEX minimum safety compliance and optional Bluetooth sensor expansion, the AL300 lets Plaspy users combine reliable location data, motion and tamper events, and external sensor inputs into a single operational view for anti-theft and asset lifecycle management.
Key Highlights
- Exceptional battery life: 7,800 mAh battery designed for long-life deployments — up to 7 years at one position report per day, reducing maintenance and replacement cycles.
- Rugged, weatherproof design: IP68-rated enclosure provides dust protection and submersion resilience up to 3 meters for harsh outdoor and maritime conditions.
- Hazardous environment ready: Meets ATEX minimum safety requirements for safe operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
- Tamper & motion awareness: Built-in motion sensor plus a configurable light detector/tamper switch to detect relocation or unauthorized access.
- Flexible connectivity for sensors: Optional Bluetooth sensor expansion enables temperature, humidity, door or other BLE telemetry to be attached for richer asset intelligence.
- Remote maintenance support: Firmware upgrades via USB interface and over-the-air (OTA) capability reduce service visits and support lifecyle management.
- Designed for diverse assets: Optimized for long-term tracking of containers, trailers, generators, heavy machinery, boats and personal watercraft.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with a Plaspy-compatible platform, the AL300 feeds core telemetry and event data into Plaspy for dashboarding, alerts and reporting. The device’s long-life design is ideal for passive tracking workflows, while its OTA and BLE features enable remote updates and extended sensor telemetry for richer fleet management and anti-theft workflows.
- Real-time tracking and telemetry updates — configurable reporting intervals allow a balance between battery life and tracking resolution.
- Tamper and motion alerts — motion sensor and light detector/tamper switch produce event notifications for unauthorized movement or physical interference.
- Battery and health telemetry — long-life battery status, charge metrics and device health can be reported to Plaspy for maintenance planning.
- Bluetooth sensors — optional BLE expansion supports environmental or state sensors that Plaspy can log alongside position data.
- OTA and USB firmware management — firmware updates can be coordinated to keep devices secure and up to date with minimal field visits.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The AL300 offers a practical balance of endurance, ingress protection and safety compliance that aligns with Plaspy’s fleet management and asset-protection strengths. Its industry-focused design reduces total cost of ownership through multi-year battery life and remote update capabilities, while BLE expansion and tamper detection deliver richer telemetry for anti-theft and maintenance planning. For organizations that need resilient, long-life tracking for remote or hazardous environments, the AL300 integrates with Plaspy to provide dependable location data, event alerts and asset health insights without frequent field service.
Note: The AL300 is purpose-built for long-duration asset monitoring and local sensor integration. If your deployment requires vehicle-specific telemetry such as ignition sensing, immobilizer control or integrated fuel monitoring, Plaspy can combine AL300 data with other in-vehicle devices to provide a complete fleet management solution.
