AT-9000 Long Operation Container Tracker

The AT-9000 is a long-operation GPS tracker built for harsh environments and extended deployments. Rugged, waterproof and heatproof, the device is optimized for container, trailer and heavy-equipment tracking where external power is unavailable or intermittent. As a Plaspy compatible tracker, the AT-9000 brings reliable location and movement telemetry to your asset management and fleet management workflows with minimal maintenance and long battery life.

Designed to integrate with Plaspy for location monitoring, alerts and historical reporting, the AT-9000 uses advanced AGPS and cell-based location to deliver position information even when GPS reception is poor—such as stacked containers or inside metal enclosures. With configurable reporting profiles, movement detection, and simple SMS/phone-call retrieval, it is a practical GPS tracker for anti-theft monitoring, telemetry collection and long-term asset visibility.

Key Highlights

• Long battery life: large swappable rechargeable battery pack enabling up to 120 days operation in timer activation mode for low-maintenance deployments.
• Rugged, weatherproof design: IP67-rated waterproof housing and heatproof casing rated up to 85°C to withstand harsh environments.
• Hybrid positioning: AGPS plus precise cell-location fallback for reliable tracking when GPS signals are weak.
• Smart activation: configurable timer and movement detection (3-axis accelerometer ±16G) to extend operating time and capture relevant events.
• Remote location retrieval: supports SMS with Google Maps hyperlinks and can reply with current location when called—useful when immediate tracking is needed.
• Local data resilience: 8 MB flash memory for data backup when connectivity is unavailable and delayed upload once coverage returns.
• Field-configurable: full-size SIM slot and Prolific USB-to-Serial communication port for easy setup and profile updates.
• Compact asset form-factor: engineered specifically for containers, trailers, dumpsters, and heavy equipment where ruggedness and long autonomy matter.

How It Works with Plaspy

The AT-9000 connects to cellular networks and reports AGPS or cell-derived positions to Plaspy according to configurable profiles. In Plaspy, these incoming telemetry feeds are processed for real-time tracking, geofence alerts, historical playback and reporting. The device’s movement detection and timer-driven reporting let you balance real-time visibility with battery conservation for long deployments.

• Real-time location and periodic telemetry uploads via GSM and AGPS when network is available.
• Movement events detected by the built-in 3-axis accelerometer (±16G) generate immediate reports or wake the device for location capture.
• Cell-based location fallback provides position estimates when GPS reception is poor—useful for stacked containers or metal enclosures.
• Remote retrieval via SMS (Google Maps link) and phone-call response for on-demand location without full data sessions.
• Local data backup (8 MB flash) ensures telemetry is retained during coverage gaps and uploaded to Plaspy when connectivity returns.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Container and trailer tracking: long battery runtime and rugged housing make the AT-9000 ideal for monitoring containers in port or yard environments.
• Heavy equipment monitoring: attach to machinery and trailers to detect movement, location and potential theft attempts without relying on external power.
• Dumpster and asset management: periodic reporting profiles reduce maintenance while keeping assets visible for routing and security.
• Caravan and remote asset security: IP67 protection and heatproof design suit exposure to outdoor conditions and extended trips.
• POS or portable equipment tracking: full-size SIM slot and local data storage help maintain continuity of telemetry where coverage fluctuates.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AT-9000 is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker built for reliability and low-maintenance operation. Its long-lasting, swappable battery pack and configurable reporting profiles minimize field service and cut operating costs for large-scale fleet management and container monitoring programs. AGPS plus cell-location fallback increases position availability in challenging conditions (stacked containers, poor sky view), and the accelerometer-based movement detection ensures you capture the right events without constant polling.

Integrated with Plaspy, the AT-9000 delivers actionable telemetry to power anti-theft workflows, asset visibility and fleet reporting. For teams that require fuel monitoring, ignition/immobilizer control, or Bluetooth sensors for temperature/movement, discuss accessory and platform options with your Plaspy integrator—AT-9000’s IP68 connector and configuration interfaces make it straightforward to confirm support for additional telemetry or external inputs in your installation. Overall, the AT-9000 is a purpose-built GPS tracker for long-term asset visibility where durability, autonomy and dependable position reporting matter most.
