The GV53MG by Teltonika/partner (model GV53MG) is a compact LTE Cat M1/NB2 vehicle GPS tracker designed for discreet in-line installation in cars and light vehicles. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the GV53MG combines low-power wide-area network connectivity with a high-sensitivity u‑blox GNSS receiver to deliver reliable real-time tracking, secure telemetry, and economical wide‑area coverage for fleet management and anti-theft workflows.
Built for large deployments that require low power consumption and secure communications, the GV53MG provides AES-256 capable data protection, 2G fallback for global roaming, and a backup battery to preserve operation during power interruptions. Its ultra-thin form factor and internal antennas make it ideal for covert installations in auto financing, rental, leasing and stolen vehicle recovery programs when integrated with Plaspy.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for real-time tracking and fleet management dashboards with scheduled reporting and event-driven alerts.
- LTE Cat M1 / NB2 with EGPRS (2G) fallback delivers broad coverage and efficient data rates for telemetry and position updates.
- High-sensitivity u-blox GNSS receiver (tracking –162 dBm) with autonomous position accuracy better than 2.5 m (CEP).
- Built-in 190 mAh Li‑Polymer backup battery and wide 8–32 V DC operating range to ensure continuity during power loss.
- Security-focused: AES-256 capable to protect business-critical data and prevent unauthorized access.
- Practical telematics: tow alarm, geo-fence (up to 20 circular + 20 polygon), crash and aggressive driving detection, and mileage/time/distance reporting.
- Remote OTA control of digital outputs supports immobilizer or remote actuation for anti-theft and recovery workflows.
How It Works with Plaspy
When integrated with Plaspy, the GV53MG streams secure location and telemetry data to Plaspy's backend for instant visualization, geofencing, and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests device messages over TCP/UDP or SMS and interprets the GV53MG's buffered messages (up to 10,000) so fleets and service providers receive consistent real-time tracking and event notifications.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via LTE Cat M1/NB2 with 2G fallback for robust connectivity.
- Ignition detection through the positive trigger input enables ignition-based rules, scheduled reporting, and fuel/odometer workflows when external sensors are present.
- Tow alarm and crash/aggressive-driving events generate immediate alerts in Plaspy for anti-theft and safety monitoring.
- Remote immobilizer capability via OTA control of the open-drain digital output for vehicle recovery and loss prevention.
- Buffered messaging supports intermittent connectivity—Plaspy receives queued messages once a link is restored.
