The GL521MG is a rechargeable, long‑standby GPS tracker engineered for robust asset monitoring and batch management. Built with Global LTE Cat M1 / NB2 and 2G fallback, internal GNSS, Qi wireless charging, BLE accessory support and an IP67 rugged enclosure, the GL521MG is Plaspy compatible and ready to deliver reliable location and environmental telemetry for cold‑chain, warehouse and static asset deployments.
Designed for installers and fleet operators who need low‑maintenance, long‑life tracking, the GL521MG pairs effortless deployment (magnetic and standard housings) with configurable power modes that balance battery life and responsiveness. Native support for Queclink’s @Track protocol over TCP, UDP and SMS ensures straightforward integration with Plaspy for real‑time tracking, alarms and scheduled reporting.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker with LTE Cat M1 / NB2 and EGPRS fallback for global coverage and low power telemetry.
- Rechargeable design with Qi wireless charging plus backup internal battery (3 × CR123A) for extended standby and easy field charging.
- Rugged IP67 enclosure and magnetic mounting option for fast installation on vehicles, containers and high‑value static assets.
- Built‑in temperature and light sensors for environmental monitoring—ideal for cold‑chain logistics and warehouse conditions.
- BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) support for accessory connectivity and proximity sensors, enabling supplemental telemetry via beacons or sensors.
- Configurable operating modes (ultra low‑power standby to continuous tracking) and intelligent report frequency adjustment to optimize runtime.
- Motion detection via 3‑axis accelerometer, geofence alarms (up to 20 internal regions), low battery and activation reporting for anti‑theft workflows.
How It Works with Plaspy
Integrating the GL521MG with Plaspy is straightforward because the device streams standard telemetry and supports Queclink’s @Track protocol over TCP, UDP and SMS. Plaspy can ingest periodic position updates, sensor readings, and alarm events to provide live dashboards, historical playback, alerts and batch reports.
- Real‑time location and telemetry updates via LTE Cat M1 / NB2 or 2G fallback—suitable for continuous tracking or scheduled reports.
- On‑device sensors: internal temperature and light readings feed environmental alerts to Plaspy for cold‑chain and storage monitoring.
- Motion and tamper detection: 3‑axis accelerometer and light sensor support movement alarms, aiding anti‑theft and security workflows.
- Geofence and activation alarms: up to 20 internal regions and configurable triggers report immediately to Plaspy for automated workflows.
- BLE accessory connectivity: use BLE beacons or sensors to extend telemetry (e.g., door sensors or temperature probes) and feed aggregated data into Plaspy.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The GL521MG delivers a balanced combination of battery longevity, environmental sensing and simplified deployment that makes it a strong fit for organizations using Plaspy. Its native protocol support (Queclink @Track over TCP/UDP/SMS) and common telemetry (GNSS, temperature, accelerometer, geofence and battery status) let Plaspy ingest rich data streams for real‑time tracking, fleet management dashboards and alarm workflows.
Operational benefits include flexible power modes to extend runtime, wireless Qi charging to reduce field handling time, and BLE connectivity for expanding telemetry with external sensors. The rugged IP67 housing and magnetic mounting option speed installation and lower total cost of ownership for large rollouts. For businesses seeking reliable asset visibility, anti‑theft alerts and environmental monitoring integrated into Plaspy, the GL521MG provides a practical, easy‑to‑deploy solution.
