The Syrus 4G Lite is a rugged IoT telematics gateway engineered for dependable Plaspy compatible deployment across fleet management and industrial telemetry projects. With integrated cellular and GNSS antennas, an IP65 water-resistant enclosure and an internal backup battery, this GPS tracker is designed to deliver continuous, real-time tracking and remote diagnostics for vehicles, trailers and field assets in demanding environments.
Built on an embedded Apex Linux (Yocto) platform and programmable with Syruslang, the Syrus 4G Lite combines edge intelligence, blackbox incident capture and broad cellular support (4G Cat‑1, LTE‑M, NB‑IoT) to make integration with Plaspy straightforward. Operators get reliable location, engine fault code telemetry and secure over‑the‑air management to accelerate maintenance workflows and strengthen anti‑theft and operational monitoring across their fleets.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for real-time tracking and centralized fleet management.
- Multi‑mode cellular connectivity: 4G Cat‑1 with LTE‑M (Cat‑M1) and NB‑IoT (NB2) compatibility for broad coverage and telemetry efficiency.
- Onboard GNSS and blackbox recording provide accurate location and incident logs for post‑event analysis.
- Engine diagnostics and fault‑code reporting reduce downtime by enabling proactive maintenance workflows.
- Rugged IP65 enclosure and integrated antennas for reliable operation on vehicles and outdoor assets.
- Internal backup battery maintains connectivity during power interruptions and tamper events.
- Edge programmability with Syruslang and Apex OS enables custom logic, local filtering and easier Plaspy integration.
How It Works with Plaspy
The Syrus 4G Lite streams GNSS position and telemetry to Plaspy for real-time tracking, alerting and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests GPS location, device health metrics, blackbox event logs and engine diagnostic codes from the gateway. Where vehicle bus signals or peripheral inputs are available, Plaspy can correlate ignition events, door/alarm alerts, fuel-related telemetry and immobilizer actions with location and time‑stamped diagnostics to support anti‑theft workflows and maintenance automation.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates sent to Plaspy for live tracking dashboards and route replay.
- Engine fault codes and vehicle health data for faster diagnostics and maintenance scheduling.
- Blackbox logs capture data at incident time for forensic analysis and insurance reporting.
- Remote configuration and OTA firmware updates coordinated from Plaspy’s device management console.
- Ignition/door/alarm/fuel monitoring and remote immobilizer control when those signals are provided through the vehicle interface or supported peripherals.
