Coban - BN-408B

The BN-408B is a portable wireless GPS tracker designed for discreet, long-life mobile asset management and anti-theft protection. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the BN-408B delivers reliable real-time tracking and rich alarm telemetry over 2G/3G/4G networks, making it ideal for fleet management, high-value asset security, and logistics use cases where extended standby and covert mounting matter.

Built for long-term deployments, the BN-408B combines strong magnetic adsorption for easy attachment to vehicle chassis or valuables with a very large 10,000 mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery for extended standby times. The unit reports location, movement and a comprehensive set of alarms to Plaspy using TCP, UDP or SMS, and Model B variants add SOS, external power disconnection alarm and remote immobilization for enhanced anti-theft control and emergency response.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and playback across 2G/3G/4G networks.
• Powerful 10,000 mAh rechargeable Li‑ion battery (3.7V) for long standby and low-maintenance operation.
• Strong magnetic adsorption lets you attach the device quickly and discreetly without permanent installation.
• Comprehensive alarm set: tamper (infrared), low battery, movement, shock, overspeed, blind area and geo-fence.
• Model B variant adds SOS alarm, external power disconnection alarm and remote immobilization capabilities.
• Remote voice monitoring for emergency listening and improved situational awareness.
• Flexible reporting via TCP/UDP/SMS and remote configuration for fleet-scale deployments and telemetry integration.

How It Works with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, the BN-408B streams location and alarm data into your fleet management and asset-tracking dashboards for real-time visibility and historical playback. Plaspy receives position updates, alarms and status messages over TCP, UDP or SMS and translates them into alerts, reports and automation rules suitable for anti-theft workflows, dispatching and analytics.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and map display.
• Track playback and history for route reconstruction and compliance reporting.
• Geo-fence alerts and blind area alarm notifications to detect unauthorized movement or location loss.
• Low battery, movement, shock and tamper alarms to trigger maintenance or security responses.
• Model B-specific features: SOS alarm, external power disconnection alarm and remote immobilizer commands (when enabled) for anti-theft intervention.
• Remote voice monitoring to assess emergencies; data and audio incidents are available in Plaspy incident logs.
• Integrates into broader telemetry workflows: when combined with vehicle sensors or Plaspy-supported telemetry inputs, data such as ignition and fuel monitoring can be correlated with BN-408B position and alarm events.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet anti-theft and immobilization — use Model B remote immobilizer and SOS for rapid response to theft or unauthorized use.
• Long-term logistics and equipment tracking — extended battery life and power-saving modes reduce maintenance for trailers, containers and leased equipment.
• High-value asset protection — magnetic mounting and tamper detection provide discreet monitoring of construction machinery, generators and other valuables.
• Emergency response and incident verification — SOS alarm and remote voice monitoring enable faster, better-informed dispatch decisions.
• Covert asset monitoring for rental fleets and mobile inventory — geo-fence, movement and blind area alarms support loss prevention workflows.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The BN-408B is built for organizations that need dependable, Plaspy compatible GPS tracking with minimal installation and long service intervals. Its 10,000 mAh battery and magnet-mount design make it a practical choice for mobile assets and equipment that move infrequently or are difficult to hardwire. Combined with Plaspy, the BN-408B feeds real-time tracking, alarm and historical data into a scalable fleet management platform, enabling telemetry-driven decisions across fuel monitoring, ignition-related workflows and dispatching when external sensors or vehicle harnesses are present.

Choose the BN-408B for a balance of long battery life, covert mounting and flexible reporting (TCP/UDP/SMS). Model B variants bring added anti-theft controls—SOS and remote immobilization—so you can implement proactive recovery and incident workflows in Plaspy. For companies focused on reliable real-time tracking, anti-theft protection and telematics integration, the BN-408B is a straightforward, Plaspy-compatible option that minimizes installation time while maximizing operational visibility.
