The VL802 is a compact LTE vehicle terminal engineered for industrial and commercial fleet management. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the VL802 brings rugged, network-resilient GPS tracker performance to passenger cars, trucks and buses — delivering reliable real-time tracking, rich telemetry and two-way control functions that fleet operators and integrators depend on.
Designed for continuous operation in demanding environments, the VL802 combines LTE Cat 1 with 2G GSM fallback, multi-constellation GNSS positioning and extensive I/O for ignition detection, immobilizer control and analog sensor integration. When paired with Plaspy, the VL802 becomes a central telematics node for anti-theft workflows, driver behavior monitoring and fuel or sensor telemetry via its analog and digital interfaces.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker with LTE + 2G fallback for reliable real-time tracking and continuous data delivery.
- High-sensitivity GNSS (GPS + BDS + LBS) with positioning accuracy <2.5 m CEP and fast TTFF for quick location fixes.
- Industrial 9–36 VDC power range plus a 1,000 mAh Li-Polymer backup battery for resilient operation across vehicle types.
- Comprehensive I/O: ACC and SOS inputs, configurable I/Os, RS485, analog 0–5 V detection and a relay output for remote immobilizer/cut-off.
- Onboard accelerometer and event-triggered alerts (geo-fence, speeding, vibration, fatigue driving, impound) to enable proactive fleet management.
- Two-way hands-free communication, remote listen-in support and panic button capability for enhanced safety and incident response.
- Bluetooth for fast local configuration and accessory pairing, reducing installation time and easing field setup.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrated with Plaspy, the VL802 streams position and telemetry data over its cellular link so fleet managers see live locations and vehicle status in the Plaspy dashboard. Plaspy ingests GNSS coordinates, telemetry, and event notifications and converts them to actionable alerts, historical reports and automated workflows for fleet management, anti-theft response and driver coaching.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates via LTE with 2G fallback ensure continuous tracking in mixed coverage areas.
- Ignition (ACC) detection and digital input events (SOS, door or alarm) flow into Plaspy for ignition-based reports and alerting.
- Analog 0–5 V detection can be used for fuel monitoring or other sensor integrations and is available to Plaspy as telemetry values.
- Remote immobilizer/relay control and remote cut-off commands are supported for anti-theft workflows when executed through Plaspy’s command channel.
- Bluetooth configuration enables quick on-site setup and accessory pairing; two-way communication and remote listen-in provide incident verification and driver safety features.
