The T380 is a plug-and-play OBDII GPS tracker engineered to be Plaspy compatible for seamless fleet management and vehicle security. By combining a 4G LTE modem with built-in Wi‑Fi, the T380 delivers reliable real-time tracking and a “Wi‑Fi on wheels” hotspot that supports up to 10 client devices. Its compact OBDII form factor makes installation fast with no hardwiring, while precision GNSS positioning and on-board motion sensors provide the telemetry needed for robust tracking, driver behavior analysis, and anti-theft workflows.
The T380 integrates with Plaspy to provide continuous location updates, motion and event telemetry, and remote vehicle control where needed. With Wi‑Fi bridging to reduce cellular usage, FOTA firmware updates, and auto APN/time zone detection for easy rollout, the T380 is designed for scalable deployments — from single-vehicle monitoring to large fleets needing real-time tracking, driver profiling, and immobilizer control.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible plug-and-play OBDII installation for fast deployment and immediate vehicle telemetry.
- 4G LTE modem plus Wi‑Fi hotspot (802.11 b/g/n) — real-time tracking combined with “Wi‑Fi on wheels” for drivers and devices.
- GNSS accuracy with u‑blox MAX‑7 (GPS + GLONASS) and active ceramic antenna for reliable position fixes.
- On-board 3‑axis accelerometer for motion detection and driver behavior monitoring (event logging and analysis).
- Engine immobilizer (engine cut) digital output and multi-function digital input for anti-theft and remote vehicle control.
- Wi‑Fi bridging capability to use nearby hotspots and reduce cellular data consumption while maintaining connectivity.
- FOTA updates via LTE or Wi‑Fi plus auto APN and automatic time zone identification for simplified fleet administration.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the T380 continuously uploads location and telemetry to the platform using its 4G LTE modem or available Wi‑Fi. Plaspy ingests the device’s GNSS fixes, accelerometer events, and I/O states to produce live maps, alerts, and historical reports. Wi‑Fi bridging ensures the device stays connected where cellular coverage is limited and the hotspot feature gives drivers immediate internet access while preserving telematics uptime.
- Real-time GPS tracker updates: frequent position reporting to Plaspy for live tracking and geo-fencing.
- Motion and driver behavior telemetry via the internal 3‑axis accelerometer (harsh braking, acceleration, idling patterns).
- Ignition and immobilizer control: digital output for engine cut and multi-function input status sent to Plaspy for anti-theft actions.
- Wi‑Fi hotspot and bridging: reduces cellular data costs and maintains connectivity for continuous reporting.
- FOTA-enabled remote management: firmware and configuration updates pushed over LTE or Wi‑Fi from the backend.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The T380 offers a practical, commercial-ready GPS tracker that aligns tightly with Plaspy’s real-time tracking and telemetry capabilities. Its OBDII plug-and-play design minimizes installation time and ensures access to vehicle power and key diagnostic data points. The integrated Wi‑Fi hotspot and Wi‑Fi bridging reduce cellular expenses while keeping devices connected — a direct benefit for fleet management programs that combine operational tracking with driver connectivity.
With precise GNSS positioning from the u‑blox MAX‑7, internal accelerometer eventing, and a digital immobilizer output, the T380 provides the core telemetry and control features fleets need for anti-theft, ignition control, and driver monitoring. FOTA updates, auto APN, and time zone detection simplify large-scale rollouts and ongoing maintenance. Paired with Plaspy, the T380 becomes a central data source for real-time tracking, telemetry visualization, and remote vehicle actions — supporting use cases like fleet management, anti-theft response, and integration into fuel monitoring or analytics workflows managed through Plaspy. If your deployment relies on Bluetooth sensors, Plaspy can augment T380 data with those feeds at the platform level to build comprehensive vehicle profiles.
