Aplicom A9 PRO

The Aplicom A9 PRO is a compact, rugged 4G LTE telematics unit engineered for fleet management and telemetry applications that require reliable GNSS positioning and robust CAN-bus data collection. Designed on Aplicom’s A9 evolution platform, the A9 PRO pairs enhanced processing and GNSS performance with expanded I/O options — making it an excellent GPS tracker that is Plaspy compatible for real-time tracking, telemetry, and fleet operations.

Out of the box the A9 PRO supports internal and external antennas, an internal communications module, RTC and accelerometer, and a broad set of wired interfaces for vehicle integration. Its developer-friendly toolset (A-Series configuration tool, ADS REST API, SDK and OTA management) lets integrators and telematics service providers connect device data into Plaspy for alerts, reports and operational dashboards with minimal development overhead.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible for real-time tracking and fleet management using standard telematics flows and ADS REST API integration.
• 4G LTE connectivity with an internal communications module for reliable cellular data transfer and low-latency location updates.
• Enhanced GNSS positioning coupled with an accelerometer and RTC for accurate timestamps and motion/impact detection.
• Expanded I/O: 1 × CAN bus, 1 × serial port, multiple configurable inputs/outputs for analogue, digital, pulse counting and open-collector control.
• Flexible installation: internal and external antenna support in a compact, rugged form factor suitable for vehicle and asset deployments.
• Enterprise-ready remote management: OTA software/configuration updates and integration via Aplicom Data Service (ADS) REST API.
• Developer support and customization: SDK, custom firmware options and A-Series configuration tools speed deployment and bespoke integrations.

How It Works with Plaspy

The A9 PRO integrates with Plaspy by delivering GNSS location, CAN-bus telemetry and I/O event data into Plaspy’s ingestion and reporting pipelines. Using Aplicom Data Service (ADS) via REST API or standard telematics transport methods, device data is forwarded to Plaspy for real-time tracking, alarms, trip analytics and historical reporting.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates for continuous vehicle and asset visibility.
• CAN-bus data collection (including FMS CAN modes) to surface engine, fuel and diagnostic parameters to Plaspy when available from the vehicle bus.
• Accelerometer-based motion and impact events to support event-driven alerts and anti-theft workflows.
• Configurable multi-purpose inputs/outputs for door, ignition detection, pulse counters (e.g., odometer/tach), and digital alarms.
• Remote management via OTA and ADS REST API for configuration, firmware updates and lifecycle maintenance without site visits.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management: real-time tracking, route monitoring and driver behaviour telemetry for commercial vehicle fleets.
• Vehicle anti-theft and security: accelerometer event detection, I/O-triggered alarms and remote immobilizer control via digital outputs when integrated.
• Trailer and asset telemetry: compact form factor and flexible I/O enable trailer tracking, door status monitoring and pulse-counted sensor inputs.
• Predictive maintenance and vehicle diagnostics: CAN-bus data collection (FMS) supports engine and fuel parameter monitoring to feed maintenance schedules and alerts.
• IoT telemetry deployments: sensor data aggregation, timestamped GNSS coordinates and remote configuration for scalable telematics solutions.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The Aplicom A9 PRO is a practical choice for Plaspy-compatible deployments because it combines field-proven telematics hardware with developer-grade integration tools. Its 4G LTE connectivity, enhanced GNSS and robust CAN support deliver the core capabilities required for real-time tracking, telemetry and fleet management, while the flexible I/O set enables ignition/door/pulse sensing and remote control workflows.

Operational advantages include simplified deployment using the A-Series configuration tool and ADS REST API to feed Plaspy without heavy custom development, plus OTA device management to reduce maintenance costs. For integrators and telematics service providers who need customization, Aplicom’s SDK and firmware options provide a path to bespoke features and tailored telemetry — all helping operators scale tracking, anti-theft and fleet optimization use cases through Plaspy.
