The LT-520AZ is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker purpose-built for long-term, low-maintenance asset and vehicle tracking on the Amazon Sidewalk shared network. Combining GNSS (GPS + GLONASS) for outdoor positioning with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for enhanced indoor detection and short-range sensing, the LT-520AZ delivers reliable location and motion telemetry for mixed indoor/outdoor deployments where durability and battery life matter.
The rugged LT-520AZ is ideal for fleet management, remote equipment monitoring, and anti-theft awareness when assets move across wide areas of Amazon Sidewalk coverage. With an integrated 3-axis accelerometer, configurable periodic reporting and battery estimation, and support for BLE-based firmware updates, the LT-520AZ minimizes field maintenance while providing the essential tracking data Plaspy needs to deliver real-time tracking views, alerts, and historical reports.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker combining GPS + GLONASS GNSS with BLE for outdoor and improved indoor location.
- Designed for long deployments: non-rechargeable 19 Ah battery and up to 2 years expected life under typical 20-minute periodic reporting.
- Ultra-rugged construction for harsh environments with an operating range of −20°C to +60°C.
- Continuous movement and stop-event monitoring using an integrated 3-axis accelerometer for accurate telemetry.
- Amazon Sidewalk shared-network connectivity for broad, low-power coverage without cellular SIM management.
- BLE support for short-range detection and Bluetooth sensors, and BLE-based over-the-air firmware updates for remote maintenance.
- Configurable reporting and battery level measurement/estimation to simplify field deployment and asset lifecycle planning.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the LT-520AZ supplies location and motion telemetry that Plaspy aggregates into dashboards, geofences, alerts, and historical reports. Plaspy can ingest the GNSS fixes, BLE-assisted indoor detections, accelerometer-driven motion/stop events, and battery-state reports the device provides over the Amazon Sidewalk shared network. This makes the LT-520AZ a straightforward addition to a Plaspy-powered fleet management or asset-monitoring solution.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (near real-time when Sidewalk coverage is present; configurable periodic reporting).
- Movement and stop events derived from the integrated 3-axis accelerometer for route and idle-time analysis.
- Battery level measurement or estimation to feed Plaspy alerts and maintenance schedules.
- BLE short-range detection and Bluetooth sensors for indoor presence, short-range handoffs, and improved venue-level accuracy.
- BLE-based OTA firmware updates to simplify remote device management and ensure secure, current firmware across deployments.

Use Cases
- Fleet management: track vehicles and trailers across wide areas, with motion/stop events to analyze utilization and idle time.
- Long-term equipment monitoring: deploy for months or years without frequent battery swaps, reducing maintenance overhead.
- Asset anti-theft awareness: detect unexpected movement and use Plaspy alerts to notify operators of potential theft or unauthorized relocations.
- Mixed indoor/outdoor tracking: GNSS for outdoor fixes and BLE for indoor detection when assets move into buildings or storage facilities.
- Remote site monitoring: monitor scattered assets and equipment in harsh ambient conditions where durability and battery life are priorities.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The LT-520AZ brings a pragmatic balance of long battery life, rugged construction, and hybrid positioning (GPS + GLONASS + BLE) that fits Plaspy deployments needing dependable, low-maintenance tracking. For organizations focused on fleet management, telemetry, and anti-theft workflows, the LT-520AZ supplies the essential location, motion, and battery-state data Plaspy needs to provide real-time tracking, alerts, and historical reports.
While the LT-520AZ does not include vehicle CAN/OBD or dedicated analog fuel sensors and ignition/immobilizer interfaces, Plaspy can combine its GNSS and BLE telemetry with other connected inputs in the platform to support broader fleet telematics scenarios such as ignition or fuel monitoring and remote immobilizer workflows. That flexibility makes the LT-520AZ a strong choice when you need a durable, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker and Bluetooth sensor endpoint that minimizes field visits and keeps fleets and assets visible across Sidewalk-covered areas.
