The PL601 is a compact LTE Cat 1 portable GNSS tracker designed for reliable personal safety and small-asset tracking. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the PL601 combines multi-mode positioning (GNSS, Wi‑Fi and LBS) with AGPS assistance for faster fixes, two-way HD audio for voice monitoring, an SOS panic button and configurable instant alerts to keep people, pets and packages visible and secure in real time.
The small form factor, IP65 ruggedization and flexible mounting (lanyard or back clip) make the PL601 ideal for integration into Plaspy-based fleet management and telemetry workflows where lightweight, battery-powered trackers are required. With BLE 5.0 for configuration and optional motion/barometric sensors, the PL601 delivers the connectivity and telemetry data Plaspy needs to provide live location, event alerts and historical route playback.

How It Works with Plaspy
The PL601 communicates location and telemetry to Plaspy using its LTE Cat 1 cellular connection and supplementary positioning methods. Plaspy ingests GNSS coordinates, Wi‑Fi and LBS positioning, and device events to provide live maps, alerts, and compact reports. Configuration via BLE or Plaspy web/mobile interfaces allows operators to tailor update intervals, alert thresholds and geo-fence zones for each tracker.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and history playback.
- SOS/panic alerts and two-way voice monitored through Plaspy notifications and call-back workflows.
- Geo-fence entry/exit alerts, low battery, power on/off and abnormal noise detection integrated as Plaspy events.
- Motion and environmental data from optional accelerometer/barometer sensors forwarded to Plaspy for activity and state monitoring.
- BLE 5.0 connectivity for local configuration and for adding BLE sensors that complement Plaspy telemetry.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The PL601 offers a focused, reliable solution when Plaspy customers need compact, battery-powered GPS trackers that deliver intelligent positioning, voice monitoring and emergency alerts. Its multi-mode positioning and AGPS assistance reduce time‑to‑first‑fix in challenging environments, while BLE support and optional sensors let you expand telemetry without adding bulk. Plaspy compatibility ensures the PL601’s location, SOS events, geo-fence triggers and sensor telemetry become part of a centralized fleet management and reporting workflow, enabling faster response, improved oversight and simpler device provisioning.
While the PL601 specializes in personal and small-asset tracking rather than dedicated vehicle telemetry, its telemetry capabilities integrate smoothly into Plaspy-managed systems alongside vehicle devices that handle fuel monitoring, ignition status or immobilizer control. Choose the PL601 when you need a compact, rugged tracker that complements a broader Plaspy deployment—delivering real-time tracking, reliable alerts and straightforward configuration in a market-ready package.
