TS-P4X Magnetic Heavy‑Duty Container GPS Tracker
The TS-P4X is a heavy-duty magnetic GPS tracker designed for long-term deployments on cargo containers, trailers and other long-haul transportation assets. Built for harsh outdoor conditions, the TS-P4X combines a high-capacity 15,000 mAh rechargeable backup battery, strong integrated magnets for secure mounting, and multi-generation cellular options to deliver reliable Plaspy compatible real-time tracking and asset visibility.
Ideal for fleet management and anti-theft workflows, the TS-P4X transmits location and telemetry over GPRS to third-party platforms or fleet portals such as Plaspy. With blind-area storage, configurable geofences and OTA firmware upgrades, this GPS tracker simplifies large-scale deployments and ongoing remote management of unmanned assets.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible for smooth integration into existing fleet management dashboards and reporting.
- Long-duration operation from a 15,000 mAh rechargeable lithium backup battery for container and trailer use without continuous external power.
- Durable magnetic mounting and compact form factor (195 x 114 x 37 mm) for secure attachment to container exteriors or chassis.
- Multi-network cellular support (2G/3G/4G options) with GPRS data transmission for consistent, low-bandwidth telemetry.
- Robust positioning using Skylab SKG1612R GNSS (L1 1575.42 MHz, 22-channel) and fast start times for reliable location updates.
- Comprehensive alarms: backup-battery low, lock ON/OFF, tamper (lock-string), plus up to 25 configurable geo-fences for perimeter alerts.
- Large blind-area buffer—stores up to 20,000 records—so data is retained and forwarded after connectivity is restored.
- Remote management with OTA (FOTA) firmware upgrades and remote configuration to reduce field visits and scale deployments.
How It Works with Plaspy
The TS-P4X sends positional fixes and device telemetry over GPRS to cloud endpoints accepted by Plaspy. Once integrated, Plaspy ingests the device’s location stream, alarm events and stored blind-area records to provide continuous situational awareness, reporting and automated alerts.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates delivered to Plaspy for live tracking and history playback.
- Alarm and status reporting: lock ON/OFF events and tamper (lock-string) alarms are transmitted as discrete events for anti-theft workflows.
- Geofence support: up to 25 configurable geo-fences trigger entry/exit alerts within Plaspy.
- Blind-area data forwarding: stored records (up to 20,000) are uploaded when a cellular link is re-established to maintain historical continuity.
- Remote configuration and OTA firmware upgrades from Plaspy or management servers to keep devices up to date without physical access.
- Integrates into broader telemetry pipelines—Plaspy can correlate TS-P4X location streams with fuel monitoring, ignition or immobilizer data when those inputs are available from vehicle systems or paired sensors, and can operate alongside Bluetooth sensors supported by the platform.

Use Cases
- Long-term container monitoring across intermodal movements where external power is unavailable and secure magnetic mounting is required.
- Truck, trailer and cargo anti-theft protection with tamper alarms, lock state reporting and RFID/SMS access control.
- Fleet management for non-powered assets—Plaspy-compatible real-time tracking and blind-area record forwarding preserve location history during connectivity gaps.
- Logistics visibility for long-haul deployments in extreme environments that demand extended battery life and rugged mounting.
- Operational telemetry aggregation—combine TS-P4X location streams with platform-side fuel monitoring, ignition status and immobilizer controls where vehicle systems or external sensors provide that data.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The TS-P4X is purpose-built for heavy-duty, long-duration tracking where durability, battery capacity and secure mounting matter. Its Plaspy compatible GPRS reporting, large blind-area buffer and OTA upgrade capability make it straightforward to deploy at scale and maintain remotely. For fleet management and anti-theft use cases, the combination of lock ON/OFF and tamper alarms, RFID unlocking and password-protected SMS commands delivers layered security and access control.
Pairing the TS-P4X with Plaspy provides reliable real-time tracking and telemetry integration, streamlined event alerts, and the ability to correlate location with other operational data (fuel, ignition, immobilizer) at the platform level when those inputs are present. If you need a rugged GPS tracker for container, trailer or asset applications that demand long battery life and secure magnetic mounting, the TS-P4X provides a practical, Plaspy compatible solution.
