3-Axis Accelerometer	3-Axis Accelerometer to detect movement, high G-force events, and more
Diagnostic LED	Diagnostic LED signifies operation status
Flash Memory	Store weeks of records if device is out of cellular coverage. Storage capacity for over 10 days of continuous 30-second logging.
On-Board Speed and Heading	Current speed and heading is reported with each position update
On-Board Temperature	The device reports internal temperature which provides an indication of ambient temperature but may not always be precise

 

SMARTS

Auto-APN	Auto-APN allows the device to analyze the SIM card and select the correct APN details from a list that is pre-loaded in the device’s firmware
Battery Life Monitoring	Built-in Battery Meter for monitoring battery use and remaining life predictions
Geofence Alerts	The server can use device location to create geofences and alerts if an asset enters or leaves designated locations
Geofence Download to Device	Geofences can be downloaded directly to the device from Telematics Guru for enhanced location-based actions and alerts. Maximum of 100 Geofences with up to 100 points per geofence.
Impact Detection	Configure impact-detection alerts when G-forces are exceeded by a user-defined threshold
Periodic or Movement-Based	Configure parameters to send updates based on set time intervals or when movement occurs. Adaptive tracking technology detects when the device is on the move and increases the update rate, providing detail when you need it while conserving battery when stationary.
Preventative Maintenance	Set reminders based on distance traveled and run hours to reduce maintenance and repair costs
Run Hour Monitoring	Capture run hours based on movement to understand and optimize asset utilization
Sleep Mode	Stationary devices enter sleep mode until movement occurs to conserve battery life and optimize data usage
Theft Recovery	Switch to Recovery Mode in the case of theft or loss to activate real-time tracking for asset retrieval
Tilt Detection	1-axis angle reporting, tip detection, and rotation counting

 

DEVICE MANAGEMENT

Flexible Configuration	Configure device parameters such as position update rate, movement and accelerometer settings, and more to fit any tracking application
OEM Server	Manage, monitor, configure, debug, update, and restart devices remotely from our cloud-based device management system
