The SIGNAL S-2551 is a rugged GLONASS/GPS vehicle tracker engineered for professional telematics and fleet management projects. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the S-2551 combines dual-SIM cellular communications, support for EGTS and FLEX/FLEX 2.0 protocols, and extensive I/O to deliver reliable real-time tracking, telemetry and advanced diagnostics for vehicles and mobile assets.
Designed for integrators and fleet operators who need flexible sensor support and secure data delivery, the SIGNAL S-2551 supports external GNSS and GSM antennas, optional microSD logging, USB configurator access and a built-in Li‑Po backup battery. Its broad interfaces (CAN J1939, RS‑232/485, 1‑Wire) and configurable alarm and immobilizer functions make it a strong choice for Plaspy-based anti-theft, telemetry and operational intelligence deployments.

How It Works with Plaspy
Integrating the SIGNAL S-2551 with Plaspy is straightforward: the tracker transmits GNSS position and rich telemetry over cellular channels to Plaspy servers using supported protocols. Plaspy ingests location, I/O status, and sensor telemetry for real-time tracking, historical replay and rule-based alerts. The device can push data to up to three simultaneous servers, enabling redundant delivery and parallel integrations.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS (TCP/UDP) and SMS where configured.
- Telemetry channels include digital I/O states, analog sensor readings and CAN J1939 vehicle bus data for engine and diagnostic parameters.
- Crash and impact events (accelerometer) are reported for accident profiling and emergency alerts.
- Immobilizer control and driver identification via 1‑Wire TouchMemory keys are available for anti-theft and access control workflows.
- Optional Bluetooth and audio modules extend Plaspy integration to Bluetooth sensors and hands‑free or listening functions when installed.
