The ST8300 Series is a professional-grade GPS tracker designed for Plaspy-compatible deployments where reliable, real-time tracking and robust fleet management matter. Built on LTE Cat.1 with 2G fallback and multiple hardware variants (ST8300, ST8300R, ST8300RE, ST8300RP), the series delivers persistent GNSS positioning, OTA configuration and firmware updates over LTE, and rugged hardware tuned for vehicle and industrial monitoring. Its combination of advanced telemetry features, jamming detection, and configurable wired I/O makes it a practical choice for theft recovery, driver behavior analysis, and continuous asset oversight when integrated with Plaspy.
Engineered for harsh environments, the ST8300 Series provides accurate GPS/GNSS performance (GPS + GLONASS with SBAS support) and flexible connectivity options including optional Bluetooth 4.0 and VoLTE on certain variants. With a compact form factor, internal backup battery, wide 8–33 V DC input range, and industry certifications, the ST8300 can be deployed across fleets and OEM installations without sacrificing reliability or ease of integration into Plaspy’s real-time monitoring and reporting workflows.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible: designed to deliver real-time tracking and telemetry into Plaspy for fleet management and recovery.
- LTE Cat.1 with 2G fallback: resilient cellular connectivity for continuous location and event reporting.
- Robust GNSS: GPS + GLONASS with SBAS (WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS) and typical accuracy of ±3 m CEP for precise geolocation.
- 14 wired I/O and RS232 variants: flexible inputs/outputs support integrations such as OBD, alarms, and external sensors.
- OTA configuration and firmware upgrades over LTE for remote management and rapid rollouts.
- Integrated accelerometer and driving pattern analysis (DPA), with optional crash reconstruction (CR) for safety and compliance monitoring.
- Rugged design with wide operating temperature (-30°C to +80°C) and industry certifications (Anatel, CE, NOM).
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the ST8300 Series streams GNSS fixes, I/O events and telemetry to provide immediate situational awareness and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests location, accelerometer-derived motion data, geofence events, and status updates over LTE so dispatchers and managers can act on live information. OTA configuration capabilities mean device settings and firmware can be synchronized through Plaspy-managed provisioning workflows, reducing onsite intervention and ensuring consistent behavior across a vehicle fleet.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates from GPS/GLONASS with 1 Hz reporting capability.
- Wired I/O reports — digital inputs and outputs can convey ignition, door, alarm, or other vehicle status where implemented.
- Event detection — geofence (circular and polygonal) alerts and jamming detection feed immediate alerts into Plaspy.
- Accelerometer telemetry — DPA and optional crash reconstruction data enable driver behavior analysis and incident review.
- Bluetooth sensors (optional BLE 4.0) can provide proximity or sensor inputs for cargo or accessory monitoring.
