The AT500 Mini Asset Tracker is a compact, rechargeable GPS tracker purpose-built for Plaspy compatible deployments that need discreet, long-life tracking of small and hard-to-reach assets. With robust multi-constellation GNSS, BLE configuration, Qi wireless charging and multi-network cellular connectivity (LTE‑M, NB‑IoT and 2G fallback), the AT500 delivers dependable real-time tracking and telemetry for high-density asset fleets and shared equipment solutions.
Designed for easy installation and scalable telemetry via Plaspy, the AT500 combines a small form factor, IP68 protection and motion‑aware power management to extend battery life while keeping location, movement and device health visible in your fleet management console. Its internal e‑SIM and internal antennas simplify provisioning for Plaspy-compatible fleet management workflows.
Key Highlights
- Compact, stealthy GPS tracker ideal for small asset protection and dense deployments — magnetic or self-adhesive mounting options.
- Long battery life with 2200 mAh internal battery and Qi wireless charging; typical low-power 24‑hour reporting mode delivers around 6 months, with extended profiles referenced up to 12 months depending on configuration.
- Future-proof cellular: LTE‑M and NB‑IoT for low-power wide-area connectivity with 2G (GPRS) fallback for legacy coverage.
- Multi‑constellation GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou) and a 15 mm internal GNSS antenna for reliable position fixes in varied environments.
- BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) for on-site configuration, diagnostics and quick commissioning with a smartphone.
- Motion-aware reporting using a MEMS accelerometer to minimize power use while delivering timely movement alerts for anti-theft and asset utilization.
- IP68-rated enclosure and internal backup battery for durable outdoor and industrial use.
How It Works with Plaspy
When paired with Plaspy, the AT500 provides Plaspy-compatible location and device telemetry that integrates into real-time tracking dashboards, alerting rules and reporting engines. The device reports GNSS position, motion events and battery/health status over LTE‑M, NB‑IoT or 2G to Plaspy endpoints. Bluetooth diagnostics speed field provisioning, while the internal e‑SIM and internal antennas simplify large-scale rollouts.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (GNSS fixes + device battery and health)
- Motion and wake/report logic via MEMS accelerometer for movement alerts and anti-theft notifications
- Bluetooth Low Energy for local configuration, diagnostics and firmware visibility via smartphone tools
- Low-power wide-area cellular connectivity ensures persistent reporting for fleet management and high-density asset tracking
- Plaspy-compatible provisioning and reporting make it straightforward to include compact assets in broader vehicle/asset monitoring programs

Use Cases
- Small unpowered asset tracking — tools, equipment and shared devices where compact size and long battery life are essential.
- Equipment sharing programs and rental fleets requiring dense placement of discreet GPS trackers for utilization and loss prevention.
- Portable tool and instrument protection — motion alerts and location history to support anti-theft recovery workflows via Plaspy.
- High-density asset fleets in warehouses or on sites where BLE commissioning and internal antennas simplify maintenance and configuration.
- Environmental or remote deployments that need IP68 ingress protection and wireless charging for low-touch upkeep.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The AT500 Mini Asset Tracker is a practical choice when you need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that prioritizes compactness, battery longevity and low-touch maintenance. Its multi-network cellular radio and e‑SIM simplify connectivity management across deployments, while BLE support and downloadable documentation speed field commissioning. For fleet management and telemetry-driven workflows, the AT500 delivers consistent location and movement data without the bulk of vehicle-grade I/O.
Note on vehicle-specific integrations: the AT500 is optimized for small asset and equipment tracking and does not include CANBus inputs or driver ID interfaces, so features such as direct fuel monitoring, ignition sensing or immobilizer control are not provided by this unit. Plaspy does support those functions where required using other compatible trackers with vehicle interfaces; the AT500 integrates into the same Plaspy ecosystem to provide cohesive visibility across mixed device fleets.
