The AT08 magnetic GPS tracker is a rugged, Plaspy compatible tracking device designed for long-duration asset monitoring. Built around a low-power STM32 MCU and a uBlox M8 GNSS engine, the AT08 delivers GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou positioning, multi-band 3G/4G cellular connectivity (Quectel EG91 on the 4G LTE Cat 1 variant), and a 4000 mAh Li‑polymer battery for extended operation. Its strong neodymium magnets and compact form make it ideal for discreet attachment to metal assets while feeding real-time tracking and telemetry into Plaspy for fleet management and logistics workflows.
Engineered for harsh environments, the AT08 combines long battery life, smart power management, and OTA firmware updates so fleets and asset owners can deploy and maintain trackers at scale. Whether you need a GPS tracker for containers, trailers, equipment, or seasonal assets, the AT08 provides reliable position data and device telemetry that integrates seamlessly with Plaspy’s platform for alerts, reports, and automated anti-theft workflows.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible: streams GNSS coordinates and device telemetry to industry platforms for real-time tracking and reporting.
- Long battery life: 4000 mAh Li‑polymer battery with typical operation up to 30 days at a 60‑minute reporting interval.
- Rugged magnetic mounting: two strong neodymium magnets for secure adhesion to metal surfaces in field deployments.
- Multi‑constellation GNSS: uBlox M8 supports GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou with CEP accuracy around 2.5 m.
- Broad cellular coverage: 3G and 4G LTE support (EG91 for 4G LTE Cat 1) with European and North American band sets.
- Low‑power operation: smart power management with idle (~70 mA), sleep (~39 mA) and deep sleep (~1 mA) modes.
- Remote maintenance: OTA firmware updates simplify large-scale fleet rollouts and firmware customization on request.
How It Works with Plaspy
The AT08 delivers continuous GNSS position and device telemetry over cellular networks into Plaspy for real-time tracking, geofencing, alerts, and historical reporting. Plaspy ingests the device’s location packets, battery and signal status, and motion events to provide live maps and automated workflows for fleet management, anti-theft monitoring and operational analytics.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates: GNSS coordinates, fix quality and device battery status are sent via GPRS/3G/4G to Plaspy.
- Motion-based alerts: the on-board 3D tremble sensor reports movement and tamper/motion events for anti-theft notifications.
- Power and charging telemetry: battery level and charging status (micro USB charging) feed into platform dashboards for maintenance planning.
- OTA firmware management: firmware updates can be delivered remotely so devices in the field stay compatible with Plaspy integrations.
- Flexible configuration: configure the AT08 by SMS, over the air via data connection, or via micro USB for quick commissioning.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The AT08 offers a practical balance of durability, battery life and connectivity for Plaspy users who need dependable GPS tracker data in challenging environments. Its multi-constellation GNSS and high-sensitivity receiver deliver accurate location fixes for real-time tracking and telemetry, while the low-power STM32 platform and configurable sleep modes extend field deployment intervals. Strong magnetic mounting simplifies installation on metal assets, reducing labor and downtime for fleet and logistics teams.
Paired with Plaspy, the AT08 becomes part of a scalable solution for fleet management, anti-theft response, and telemetry-driven operations. Plaspy consumes the device’s location, battery and motion data to support geofencing, alerts and historical reports; it can also integrate with fuel monitoring, ignition/immobilizer workflows or external Bluetooth sensors at the platform level to provide richer telematics when paired with complementary hardware. With OTA firmware, customization options, and multi-band cellular support, the AT08 is a robust GPS tracker for businesses that require reliable real-time tracking and long-term asset visibility.
