Ruptela - Plug5

Plug5 by Ruptela is an advanced OBD/OBDII dongle GPS tracker purpose-built for Plug & Play vehicle telematics and fleet management. As a Plaspy compatible tracker, Plug5 delivers reliable GNSS positioning, LTE‑M connectivity with 2G fallback, and deep vehicle data access (OBDII, CAN, and proprietary manufacturer parameters) so fleets get real‑time tracking, telemetry, and actionable vehicle intelligence without complex installation.

Designed for commercial deployments, Plug5 combines onboard diagnostics, BLE 5.1 accessory support, motion and crash detection, and secure communications (TLS v1.2) to support anti‑theft workflows, fuel monitoring, driver behaviour analysis, and rapid stolen vehicle recovery. Its OBD form factor and automatic vehicle model detection simplify rollouts for lease, rental, delivery, and mixed fleet operations while Plaspy integration enables centralized monitoring, alerts, and reporting.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible Plug & Play OBD dongle — fast installation and automatic vehicle model detection for rapid fleet rollouts.
• Premium GNSS (U‑blox) and LTE‑M connectivity with 2G fallback for dependable real‑time tracking across regions.
• Full OBDII and CAN (FMS, J1708, J1939) data reading plus proprietary manufacturer parameters for rich telemetry and fuel monitoring.
• Bluetooth (BLE 5.1) support for Bluetooth sensors and accessory integration — expand monitoring with temperature, ID, or cargo sensors.
• Safety and anti‑theft features: 3‑axis accelerometer for motion/crash detection, jamming and unplug detection, internal backup battery, and buffered 16 MB memory.
• Remote device management (FOTA/GPRS/SMS/USB) through Ruptela Device Center and Device Management Platform for mass deployment and updates.
• Wide operating range (9–30 V DC, −20 °C to +60 °C) and heavy‑vehicle harness options for mixed fleet compatibility.

How It Works with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, Plug5 becomes a robust source of location and vehicle telemetry. The device streams GNSS positions and CAN/OBD parameters over LTE‑M (with 2G fallback) to Plaspy’s fleet management platform, enabling real‑time tracking, geofencing, event alerts, and telematics dashboards. Plug5 buffers data locally during connectivity loss and uploads stored records when a connection is restored to preserve continuity in reports and incident reconstruction.

• Real‑time location and telemetry updates (GNSS + vehicle CAN/OBD data) for live fleet visibility.
• Advanced ignition detection and ignition‑based events for trip segmentation and driver behaviour analytics.
• Fuel monitoring and OBD/CAN‑derived consumption metrics to support cost control and preventive maintenance.
• Motion and crash detection via 3‑axis accelerometer with event uploads for accident reconstruction and emergency workflows.
• Bluetooth sensors and beacons (BLE 5.1) for driver identification, cargo/environment monitoring, or accessory telemetry.
• Anti‑theft signals: jamming detection, unplug detection, internal battery backup, plus alerts in Plaspy for fast response and stolen vehicle recovery.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and real‑time tracking — monitor vehicle locations, routes, and ETA within Plaspy dashboards.
• Anti‑theft and stolen vehicle recovery — detect tampering (unplug/jamming), use last known GNSS and CAN data to coordinate recovery.
• Fuel monitoring and telemetry — combine OBD/CAN fuel data with GNSS history to reduce consumption and optimize routes.
• Driver identification and behaviour analysis — BLE tags or sensors for driver ID, plus acceleration and ignition events to assess driving style and safety.
• Accident detection and reconstruction — crash event capture (accelerometer) with buffered data to support incident review and insurance workflows.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

Plug5 is engineered to meet the needs of modern fleets that require reliable GPS tracking, deep vehicle telemetry, and simplified deployment. As a Plaspy compatible tracker, it reduces installation complexity through its OBD form factor and automatic vehicle detection, while BLE 5.1 and CAN/OBD access expand telemetry beyond basic GPS. The combination of LTE‑M connectivity with 2G fallback, internal memory buffering, jamming/unplug detection, and secure TLS communications makes Plug5 a trustworthy choice for businesses focused on uptime, anti‑theft protection, and actionable fleet insights.

Operationally, remote configuration and FOTA via Ruptela’s Device Management Platform integrate with Plaspy workflows for centralized device control and mass updates — minimizing onsite service and speeding rollouts. Whether you need real‑time tracking, fuel monitoring, telemetry for heavy vehicles, or advanced driver and safety analytics, Plug5 provides a scalable, Plaspy‑ready foundation for commercial telematics projects.
