Reachfar - RF-V26

The RF-V26 is a compact, solar-assisted GPS tracker purpose-built for long-term outdoor monitoring of livestock and large animals. Plaspy compatible by design, the RF-V26 combines multi-mode positioning (GPS, A-GPS, LBS and WiFi) with quad-band GPRS TCP/IP reporting to deliver reliable location updates, SOS alerts and two-way voice for emergency monitoring in pastoral and farm environments.

The unit’s IP66 weather resistance, integrated solar panel and 1500 mAh internal battery make the RF-V26 well suited to remote deployments where extended standby and low maintenance are essential. Although the product page notes the RF-V26 is out of production, its technical details and intended use cases remain useful for legacy fleet and asset deployments managed through Plaspy.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker offering multi-mode location (GPS / A-GPS / LBS / WiFi) for flexible positioning in rural and semi-urban areas.
• Solar-assisted power with an integrated panel (0–125 mA charging depending on sunlight) plus a 1500 mAh internal battery for extended standby in outdoor use.
• Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) with GPRS Class 12 TCP/IP for real-time tracking and reliable data uplink to Plaspy.
• SOS alarm and two-way voice support to enable emergency alerts and remote voice monitoring directly through the device.
• IP66-rated housing for dust protection and heavy-weather resistance in field conditions.
• Compact, lightweight form factor (65 x 55 x 17 mm, 64 g) that is comfortable for large-animal mounting and easy installation on farm assets.
• Multi-reporting modes (time-interval or continuous TCP/IP reporting) to balance power consumption with real-time tracking needs.

How It Works with Plaspy

Integrated with Plaspy, the RF-V26 streams location and event data over GPRS/TCP-IP so fleet managers and farmers can access real-time tracking, alerts and history from a single platform. Plaspy ingests the device’s position fixes, alarm events and status reports and presents them as live markers, notification alerts and telemetry widgets that are useful for livestock and asset monitoring.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates via GPRS TCP/IP for continuous or interval-based tracking.
• SOS alarm events are forwarded to Plaspy to trigger immediate alerts and location dispatching.
• Two-way voice capability enables remote voice monitoring or direct communication in emergencies when coordinated through platform workflows.
• Battery and charging status (solar-assisted operation) can be reported to Plaspy to monitor device health in the field, depending on firmware configuration.
• Multi-mode position fixes (GPS, A-GPS, LBS, WiFi) increase fix reliability in varied environments and feed Plaspy’s location services for improved accuracy and mapping.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Livestock tracking — monitor grazing patterns, location history and anti-lost protection for cows, sheep and horses with long-standby operation.
• Farm asset monitoring — attach to trailers, portable water tanks or seasonal equipment to maintain location visibility across remote fields.
• Anti-theft protection for large animals — SOS alerts and two-way voice enable rapid response when animals are at risk or lost.
• Remote field deployments — solar charging and IP66 weather resistance suit temporary or extended deployments without frequent maintenance.
• General outdoor asset tracking — tracking of fences, gates, or other infrastructure where multi-mode positioning helps locate devices in varied coverage areas.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The RF-V26 offers a practical combination of solar-assisted endurance, multi-mode positioning and emergency communication features that make it well suited to livestock management and outdoor asset monitoring. When integrated with Plaspy, the device’s TCP/IP reporting and SOS/two-way voice capabilities translate into actionable alerts, location history and device status on a unified platform. Its compact, IP66-rated design and low-power reporting modes keep maintenance demands low for farms and remote deployments.

Note on feature set: the RF-V26 specification does not list ignition inputs, immobilizer control, fuel monitoring or Bluetooth sensors. If your deployment requires telemetry such as fuel monitoring, ignition or immobilizer control, or BLE sensor integration, Plaspy supports those telemetry features and can integrate alternative compatible devices that include them. Also be aware the RF-V26 has been marked out of production on the product page; its specifications and intended applications remain useful for legacy units and for planning comparable replacements within the Plaspy ecosystem.
