Astra Telematics - AT111

The Astra Telematics AT111 is a compact, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker engineered for professional telematics installations that require external antennas. Built on the proven AT241 platform, the AT111 delivers 4G-LTE-M and 2G connectivity, multi-constellation GNSS positioning, extensive I/O and a rugged aluminium-alloy form factor — all designed for reliable real-time tracking and telemetry in fleet management, plant monitoring and anti-theft applications.

The AT111 integrates seamlessly with Plaspy for fleet management and asset protection solutions. With external GNSS and GSM antenna options, easy Micro SIM access, a 950mAh backup battery and rich interfaces including CANBus, RS232 and 1-Wire, the AT111 is ideal when an unobstructed satellite view or flexible antenna placement is required. Astra Telematics backs the device with a 5-year warranty and lifetime system updates to keep Plaspy integrations current and secure.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker: real-time tracking and telemetry integration for dashboards, alerts and reports.
• Multi-network mobile communications: GSM/GPRS (2G), LTE‑M (4G) with NB‑IoT capability for wide coverage and future-proof connectivity.
• External antenna flexibility: roof-mount, glass-mount, magnetic or adhesive options to maintain GNSS/GSM performance in constrained installations.
• Comprehensive I/O and vehicle interfaces: 6 digital inputs, 5 outputs, 2 ADCs, 2 RS232 ports, CANBus and 1-Wire for robust sensor and ignition/immobilizer integrations.
• Built-in backup battery (950mAh): keeps reporting and anti-theft monitoring active during power loss (approx. 7 days in low-power mode with daily report).
• Compact, rugged construction: aluminium-alloy sandwich case with external LEDs and easy Micro SIM access for professional installations.
• Customization and support: hardware and reporting customization available from Astra Telematics and downloadable integration guides and command references.

How It Works with Plaspy

The AT111 sends position, sensor and vehicle telemetry to Plaspy over cellular networks. Plaspy ingests GNSS fixes, CANBus frames, digital and analog inputs and other telemetry to provide live location, route history, alerts and compliance reports. Installers can use the AT111’s external antenna connectors to place antennas for optimal RF performance while mounting the tracker in concealed or protected locations.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates: multi-constellation GNSS data (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, Beidou) streamed to Plaspy for precise mapping and geofencing.
• Ignition, door and alarm status: detect and transmit vehicle ignition and door/alarm events using digital inputs and CANBus signals.
• Fuel monitoring and vehicle telemetry: leverage CANBus and ADC inputs to feed fuel level and engine telemetry into Plaspy reports and dashboards.
• Remote immobilizer control: implement remote immobilization and engine-disable workflows using digital outputs controlled through Plaspy command channels.
• Bluetooth sensors and beacons: while the AT111 does not include built-in BLE, Plaspy supports correlated BLE sensor data when used alongside BLE gateways or complementary hardware so you can combine environmental sensors with AT111 location and telemetry.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and route optimization: live GPS tracker data and CANBus telemetry feed Plaspy for efficient dispatch and performance reporting.
• Fleet anti-theft and immobilization: discreet installation with external antennas plus digital outputs enable remote immobilizer workflows and theft response.
• Plant, machinery and asset monitoring: ideal where a remote GNSS antenna is needed for accurate positioning of high-value equipment.
• Fuel monitoring and engine diagnostics: combine CANBus frames and ADC inputs to track fuel consumption, engine hours and telematics diagnostics in Plaspy.
• Evaluation and rapid deployment: EK111 evaluation kit bundles AT111 with cabling and antenna options for fast testing and proof-of-concept integration with Plaspy.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AT111 is a practical choice when you need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that blends compact packaging with professional telematics features. Its external antenna flexibility solves common installation challenges where roof- or glass-mount antennas are necessary for consistent GNSS reception. Extensive I/O, CANBus and serial ports let integrators capture ignition, door status, fuel metrics and other vehicle telemetry without additional gateways. Combined with Plaspy’s dashboards, alerts and reporting, the AT111 delivers reliable real-time tracking, telemetry and anti-theft capabilities for fleets and assets. Backed by Astra Telematics’ 5-year warranty, lifetime updates and customization support, the AT111 is designed to scale from single-vehicle pilots to large fleet deployments with predictable integration paths.
