Astra Telematics - AT402

The Astra Telematics AT402 is a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker engineered for moto‑sharing and connected‑vehicle deployments. Building on the proven AT400 series, the AT402 pairs LTE‑M cellular with GSM/GPRS 2G fallback to deliver reliable, real‑time tracking and vehicle telemetry for fleet management, anti‑theft protection, and shared mobility services. Compact, automotive‑ready and IP65 rated, the unit is designed to simplify installation with internal GNSS and GSM antennas and an automotive wiring connector for production or aftermarket fitment.

The AT402 supports a broad set of interfaces — CANBus for vehicle data, BLE for local device interactions, RS232 and 1‑Wire for peripherals, plus digital I/O and driver ID support — enabling Plaspy to receive rich telemetry, ignition and driver events. With a 510 mAh backup battery, wide operating voltage (6–65 V) and Astra’s five‑year warranty plus lifetime system updates, the AT402 balances cost, durability and integration flexibility for Plaspy‑based real‑time tracking and fleet analytics.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible device with LTE‑M primary connectivity and GSM/GPRS 2G fallback for continuous real‑time tracking.
• Robust IP65 automotive design with internal GNSS and GSM antennas for simplified installation and reliable location fix.
• CANBus and RS232 support for vehicle telemetry, enabling fuel monitoring and advanced fleet management when used with Plaspy.
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for local sensor pairing, proximity interactions and short‑range device management.
• 510 mAh internal backup battery delivering approximately six days in low‑power mode with 24‑hour reporting for anti‑theft resilience.
• Vehicle I/O including 2 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs and driver ID support to capture ignition status and enable immobilizer or remote control functions.
• Offered with Astra’s five‑year warranty, lifetime system updates and free hardware/reporting customisation to support scale‑up on Plaspy.

How It Works with Plaspy

The AT402 transmits GNSS position and telemetry over LTE‑M (with 2G fallback) to Plaspy’s cloud, where data is processed for real‑time tracking, alerts and reports. Plaspy can consume CANBus vehicle parameters, digital input events and BLE sensor data sent by the device to provide a unified dashboard for fleet management and anti‑theft workflows. Astra’s integration options and evaluation kits make it straightforward to register AT402 units on Plaspy for monitoring, geofencing and operational analytics.

• Real‑time location and multi‑GNSS telemetry updates (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou).
• Ignition and digital input monitoring for start/stop events and alarm triggers.
• Vehicle telemetry via CANBus — supports fuel, speed and other vehicle bus parameters when exposed by the vehicle.
• Remote immobilizer and control capability via configurable digital outputs (implementation depends on vehicle wiring and Plaspy rules).
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for pairing with sensors or beacons for local telemetry and proximity checks.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management for light commercial vehicles and shared mobility fleets requiring reliable real‑time tracking and CANBus telemetry.
• Moto‑sharing and scooter/bike fleet deployments needing compact, IP65 devices with simplified installation and BLE for user interactions.
• Anti‑theft monitoring and remote immobilization using ignition inputs and configurable digital outputs managed through Plaspy rules.
• Fuel monitoring and vehicle health analytics by capturing CANBus parameters and forwarding them to Plaspy for reporting and alerts.
• Aftermarket installations and volume production rollouts using Astra’s plug‑and‑play harnesses, power/ignition cables and evaluation kits.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The AT402 offers a practical balance of durability, connectivity and vehicle integration for Plaspy deployments. Its LTE‑M cellular path with 2G fallback ensures future‑proofed, low‑power real‑time tracking while supporting essential fleet telemetry through CANBus and RS232. The device’s BLE capability extends Plaspy workflows to local sensors and user interactions, and the internal backup battery and wide voltage range add resilience for anti‑theft and shared mobility use cases. Astra’s five‑year warranty, lifetime updates and complimentary customisation reduce integration friction and total cost of ownership when scaling Plaspy‑enabled telematics across fleets.
