GTU50 GPS Tracker — Plaspy Compatible
The GTU50 is a compact, economical 4G CAT-1 GPS tracker purpose-built for covert installation in automobiles, motorcycles and power-sport vehicles. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the GTU50 delivers reliable real-time tracking and rich telemetry for fleet management, stolen vehicle recovery (SVR), Usage-Based Insurance (UBI) programs, rental fleets and Buy-Here-Pay-Here (BHPH) inventory control.
The GTU50 combines LTE Cat-1 cellular connectivity with 2G fallback, an integrated multi-GNSS receiver and crash-data recording in a small, weather-resistant package. With ignition detection, a relay output for starter blocking (immobilizer), SOS input and on-board backup battery and flash memory, the GTU50 is engineered to provide continuous tracking, tamper resilience and actionable event data when paired with Plaspy for alerts, reports and integrations.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for seamless real-time tracking, alerts and fleet management dashboards.
- LTE Cat‑1 with 2G GSM fallback (SMS and TCP) for broad network coverage and reliable data transport.
- Integrated GPS+GLONASS+Beidou GNSS with A‑GPS delivering SBAS accuracy around 10 m CEP.
- 3‑axis accelerometer with 50 Hz crash-data recording for collision detection and driver behavior telemetry.
- Ignition detection plus a digital output to support relay control (starter block/immobilizer) for anti-theft workflows.
- Internal 220 mAh Li‑ion backup battery and 4 Mbit flash memory (≈3,000 records) for tamper detection and offline logging.
- Small, covert form factor (78 x 33 x 15 mm, ~35 g) with multiple mounting options (tie-wrap, Velcro, adhesive).
- Wide input range (9–90 VDC) to support both 12 V and 24 V vehicle systems and low-power sleep modes for extended deployment.
How It Works with Plaspy
When connected to Plaspy, the GTU50 streams location and event telemetry so operators get near real-time visibility of vehicles and assets. Plaspy ingests the device’s cellular and GNSS data, normalizes telemetry, and produces alerts, historical playback and reports that support operations like fleet management, SVR, UBI scoring and rental reconciliation.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates over LTE Cat‑1 with TCP (and SMS where required) provide continuous visibility.
- Ignition detection informs trip start/stop, driver hours and geofence-triggered workflows within Plaspy.
- Crash detection and high-rate accelerometer logs (50 Hz) allow Plaspy to flag collisions and present incident data for investigation or insurance use.
- Digital input for SOS/panic triggers immediate alerts and location push to Plaspy for rapid response.
- Digital output supports remote immobilizer workflows (starter block) coordinated by Plaspy for anti-theft and repossession use cases.

Use Cases
- Fleet management and real-time tracking for last‑mile delivery, service fleets and mixed vehicle types.
- Stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) combined with Plaspy coordinate alerts and immobilization workflows using the relay output.
- Insurance telematics (UBI) and driver behavior monitoring using crash-data recording and accelerometer-based scoring.
- Rental fleets and BHPH inventory control where covert installation, offline logging and remote immobilization reduce loss and fraud.
- Motorcycles and power-sport vehicle tracking where a small footprint, low power consumption and wide voltage range are required.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The GTU50 is an effective Plaspy compatible option when you need a small, low-cost GPS tracker that still delivers the telemetry and event control required for modern fleet and anti-theft operations. Its LTE Cat‑1 cellular radio with 2G fallback ensures broad coverage while the multi‑GNSS receiver and SBAS accuracy provide dependable position data for real-time tracking and recovery. The device’s ignition sensing, digital SOS input and relay output enable Plaspy to orchestrate workflows like trip logging, emergency alerts and remote immobilization (immobilizer) without additional hardware.
Operational teams benefit from the GTU50’s crash-data recording and accelerometer telemetry for incident reconstruction and usage-based insurance analytics, while the internal battery and onboard flash protect against tampering and network outages by maintaining local logs that Plaspy can retrieve when connectivity resumes. For organizations that require covert installation, flexible mounting and a small footprint, the GTU50 offers a balanced feature set for telemetry-driven operations.
Integration note: While the GTU50 provides ignition, relay control and rich accelerometer data, Plaspy can also combine device feeds with other telemetry sources (for example, fleet fuel monitoring systems or Bluetooth sensors available within the Plaspy ecosystem) to produce comprehensive dashboards and alerts. Consult your Plaspy integration guide for configuration details and recommended telematics settings.
Set Up GTU50
Use with a tracker
-
Set the Operator APN
