Coban - BN-401A

BN-401A

The BN-401A is a compact LTE (4G) motorcycle management terminal engineered for simple installation and reliable Plaspy compatible real-time tracking. Designed for scooters, motorcycles and other small vehicles with a 12–24V electrical system, the BN-401A provides continuous GPS tracker functionality, anti-theft alarms and fleet management basics in a low-profile package. Its 4G connectivity with GSM/GPRS fallback and TCP/UDP/SMS transport options make it straightforward to integrate with Plaspy for live location, alerts and basic telemetry.

Plaspy compatible out of the box, the BN-401A delivers the signals and event data fleet operators expect: positioning, ACC/ignition status, movement and shock alarms, SOS, geo-fence events and remote immobilization (power/fuel cut-off). Bluetooth is included for fast on-site configuration, and the device supports configurable reporting strategies to minimize data use when stationary while keeping alarms and critical events available for immediate transmission to Plaspy.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker optimized for motorcycles and small vehicles — easy to install and conceal.
• Real-time tracking over LTE (4G) with GSM/GPRS fallback and TCP/UDP/SMS transport for resilient connectivity.
• Anti-theft and fleet management alarms: SOS, movement/shock detection, overspeed, ACC ignition and low-battery alerts.
• Remote immobilizer capability with fuel and power cut-off to support secure vehicle immobilization policies.
• Smart reporting modes to conserve bandwidth: frequent updates in motion, reduced reporting when stationary, with alarms forcing online reporting.
• Bluetooth for local configuration and fast deployment without complex wiring or external programming tools.
• Compact, lightweight form factor designed for discreet mounting on two-wheel vehicles.

How It Works with Plaspy

The BN-401A transmits GNSS position and event telemetry to Plaspy using standard transport methods (TCP, UDP or SMS). Once added to a Plaspy fleet, the device sends real-time location updates, status changes and alarm events that Plaspy uses for live maps, alerts, reporting and history playback. Configurable reporting intervals and an intelligent offline mode allow you to balance update frequency and data usage while keeping safety and anti-theft alerts immediate.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and track playback.
• ACC/ignition status, ACC working notification and ignition alarms for fleet operation insight.
• Low-battery alarm and external power disconnection alarm to detect tampering or power issues early.
• Remote immobilizer support (remote fuel and power cut-off) to disable a vehicle when required.
• Emergency/SOS alarm, movement alarm, overspeed alarm and shock detection forwarded as Plaspy alerts.
• Bluetooth available for local configuration; device supports SMS setup commands and protocol integration for Plaspy onboarding.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management for motorcycle couriers and delivery scooters — real-time tracking, route playback and overspeed monitoring.
• Anti-theft protection for personal and commercial two-wheel vehicles — movement/shock detection, SOS alarm and remote immobilizer.
• Operational telemetry for small vehicle fleets — ignition (ACC) notifications, low-battery and power-cut alerts to reduce downtime.
• Quick-deploy installations where low profile and easy configuration matter — Bluetooth-assisted setup and simple harness connections for relays and SOS buttons.
• Use in mixed-regional deployments — multiple LTE band variants to support regional network compatibility.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

When you need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker tailored to motorcycles and small vehicles, the BN-401A offers a pragmatic balance of reliability, size and key anti-theft/fleet features. Its LTE connectivity with GSM fallback and support for TCP/UDP/SMS ensures robust data delivery to Plaspy for real-time tracking, alerts and telemetry. The built-in backup battery and configurable reporting modes help maintain continuity and optimize data usage, while inputs for ACC and external relay control enable ignition-aware monitoring and remote immobilizer actions such as fuel or power cut-off.

For fleet managers and service providers, the BN-401A simplifies on-the-ground setup via Bluetooth configuration and documented SMS/command protocols, reducing installation time and support overhead. Use it with Plaspy to centralize GPS tracker data, build live dashboards, automate anti-theft responses and manage small-vehicle fleets with dependable, cost-conscious telemetry and control.
