The AT-17 is a heavy-duty 2G wireless GPS tracker built for vehicles, trucks, containers and other high-value mobile assets. With a rugged waterproof enclosure, six powerful integrated magnets for secure mounting and a very large 10000 mAh internal battery, the AT-17 is designed for long deployments where covert, reliable GPS tracker performance is essential. As a Plaspy compatible device, it integrates with Plaspy for real-time tracking, historical playback and fleet management workflows so operations teams and recovery services can act quickly on location intelligence.
Designed around quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity and straightforward locate-on-demand via SMS or GPRS (TCP), the AT-17 suits anti-theft, fleet management and telemetry use cases where long standby, low power consumption and robust mounting are priorities. Its feature set — motion detection, remove/shake alarms, low-battery alerts and remote monitor (listening) — supports security and logistics monitoring without complex installation, and Plaspy compatibility enables centralized reporting, alerts and archived tracking data for compliance and operational insight.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker: integrates with Plaspy for centralized real-time tracking and archived playback.
- Extended battery life: large 10000 mAh internal battery with very low standby current for long-term covert tracking.
- Rugged, waterproof and magnetic mount: six integrated strong magnets (300 lb total pull) plus backup magnets for secure mounting on metal assets.
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS (850/900/1800/1900): supports SMS and GPRS (TCP) reporting and locate-on-demand via mobile phone and Google Maps.
- Security and alarms: motion detection, remove alarm, shake alarm and low-battery warnings to support anti-theft workflows.
- Remote monitoring: built-in monitor function enables remote listening for situational awareness during recovery or verification.
- Historic data retention: platform support for archived tracking history (up to one year on the vendor platform) for audits and route analysis.
How It Works with Plaspy
The AT-17 sends location and status updates using SMS or GPRS (TCP). When paired with Plaspy, those reports are ingested into the Plaspy platform and made available for real-time tracking, geofence alerts, and historical playback. Integration is typically straightforward: configure the device’s GPRS server settings or mobile reporting number to point to your Plaspy instance, then manage rules and notifications from Plaspy’s dashboard.
- Real-time tracking: frequent position updates via GPRS/TCP appear in Plaspy for live monitoring and map visualization.
- Locate-on-demand: request current location via SMS or GPRS and view directly in Google Maps or Plaspy’s map view.
- Alarm reporting: remove alarm, shake alarm and low-battery alerts are transmitted and can trigger Plaspy notifications or workflows.
- Remote monitoring: the device’s monitor (listening) function can be used for remote audio verification and incident response.
- Historical playback & reporting: recorded tracks can be archived and reviewed in Plaspy for fleet management and incident investigation.

Use Cases
- Fleet anti-theft and recovery: covertly placed on trucks, trailers or vans to provide real-time location and alarms during theft incidents.
- Cargo and container logistics: long battery life and magnetic mounting make the AT-17 ideal for container, pallet or trailer tracking across long hauls.
- Construction and heavy equipment monitoring: attach to machinery and assets for off-grid tracking during projects or layups.
- Marine and aviation auxiliary tracking: waterproof housing supports temporary tracking of boats or service aircraft assets (verify mounting and regulatory requirements).
- Short-term rentals and asset visibility: provide telemetry and location history for rentals and high-value asset lending where permanent installs aren’t feasible.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The AT-17 pairs long battery life, rugged mounting and proven quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity to deliver low-maintenance asset tracking that’s Plaspy compatible out of the box. For operators looking to add reliable real-time tracking and telemetry into their Plaspy fleet management workflows, the AT-17 offers a simple integration path via SMS or GPRS (TCP) and immediate benefits for anti-theft, logistics visibility and historical analysis. Its waterproof, magnet-mounted form and alarm suite reduce installation time and support covert or temporary deployments, while the large internal battery lowers the need for frequent servicing.
Note: the AT-17 is a 2G/GSM device — confirm local 2G network availability before purchase. Also verify the exact charging interface (Micro USB vs Type-C) with the supplier if USB charging type is critical for your deployment. When combined with Plaspy, the AT-17 provides a cost-effective, scalable building block for real-time tracking, archived playback and fleet management reporting, and it integrates into broader telemetry and operational workflows that may include fuel monitoring, ignition control or immobilizer features provided by other hardware or platform-level integrations.
