The VL111 by VL (model VL111 / VL111S_LA / VL111S_EM) is a compact 4G LTE vehicle GPS tracker engineered for reliable, discreet Plaspy compatible real-time tracking. Built for motorcycles and light vehicles, the VL111 combines multi-constellation GNSS, LTE Cat 1 connectivity with 2G fallback, BLE 5.0, and a built-in relay for remote immobilization—delivering the core telemetry and control features fleet managers and vehicle dealers rely on for anti-theft protection and driver monitoring.
Designed to integrate with platforms like Plaspy, the VL111 provides continuous location, trip playback and vehicle telemetry while protecting battery health with automatic power-disconnect and an internal backup. Its rugged IP66 housing, light weight and small form factor make it easy to install on a wide range of vehicles while maintaining the telemetry and control channels that modern fleet management, fuel monitoring programs and anti-theft workflows require.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and secure telemetry reporting over LTE Cat 1 with 2G GSM fallback.
- High-accuracy multi-constellation GNSS: GPS, BeiDou (BDS), GLONASS with AGPS and LBS fallback (accuracy < 2.5 m CEP).
- Built-in PCB relay for remote immobilizer / cut-off of fuel or power, supporting theft prevention and return-to-service workflows.
- BLE 5.0 and internal Bluetooth antenna for sensor connectivity and proximity use cases with low power consumption.
- Vehicle voltage monitoring 0–90V, internal battery fallback and automatic power disconnection to protect the vehicle battery.
- Driving behavior telemetry via onboard accelerometer: harsh acceleration, harsh braking, harsh cornering and collision detection.
- Rugged IP66 housing, wide temperature range (−20°C to +70°C) and compact form factor for easy, discreet installation.
How It Works with Plaspy
The VL111 forwards GNSS positions, vehicle telemetry and event data to Plaspy over LTE Cat 1 (with 2G fallback) so dispatchers and managers can use Plaspy’s dashboard for live monitoring, alerts and historical analysis. Typical integration takes the device’s periodic location/telemetry packets and maps them into Plaspy’s real-time view, enabling command-and-control actions from the platform.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates: GNSS positions, speed, heading and timestamped location history for live tracking and trip playback.
- Immobilizer / relay control: remote cut-off (fuel or power) supported by the onboard relay—Plaspy can issue immobilization commands where the device-platform connection permits.
- Vehicle health & battery telemetry: voltage monitoring and low internal battery alerts to protect vehicle power and enable scheduled maintenance.
- Driving behavior & safety events: accelerometer-based harsh driving and collision alerts feed into Plaspy for driver coaching and safety reporting.
- Bluetooth sensors and proximity beacons: BLE 5.0 support for future sensor integrations or local device pairing to enhance telemetry and asset context.
