Vehicle tracking, utilisation and driver behaviour telemetry, reading from the vehicle network as well as from GNSS. Coverage across a mixed fleet is a specific engineering task rather than something a datasheet delivers.
Position is the easy part of telematics. The valuable data is on the vehicle network: engine and fuel parameters, diagnostic codes, driver inputs, odometry that does not drift. Reading it reliably across a fleet containing several makes and model years is the actual engineering.
The environment is the second constraint. Supply that dips during cranking and spikes on load dump, temperatures from below freezing to what a dashboard reaches in sun, continuous vibration, and coverage that disappears in tunnels and underground car parks.
A unit that resets on cranking loses a trip. One that resets on cranking every morning loses the customer, which is why the electrical design gets more attention than the feature list.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Links | Cellular with GNSS |
| Vehicle data | CAN and OBD, subject to what the manufacturer exposes |
| Electrical | Designed for cranking dips and load dump |
| Environment | Vibration, temperature range and ingress |
| Buffering | Store and forward through coverage gaps |
| Local logic | Geofences and alerts evaluated on device so they work without coverage |
| Typical markets | Logistics, service fleets, construction, public sector |
Maturity — silicon-proven, FPGA-validated or RTL stage — is confirmed at enquiry for the specific configuration you need, rather than claimed generically here.
Send the target node, the interface requirements and the integration context. If this is not the right fit, that will be said early rather than discovered at integration.
Position and motion from GNSS and inertial sensing, plus engine, fuel, diagnostic and driver-input data from the vehicle network over CAN or OBD — subject to what each manufacturer exposes, which varies across a mixed fleet.
By buffering on the device and forwarding when coverage returns, and by evaluating geofences and alerts locally so they still fire without a network.
Because supply dips during cranking and spikes on load dump. A unit that resets during cranking loses a trip, and one that does it every morning loses the customer.
Tell us the specification, the constraint and the deadline. Programmes that cross silicon, radio, embedded and AI are where Faststream is strongest.
