The history of commercial vehicle telematics solutions goes back several decades. On-board vehicle computers first emerged in the transport and logistics industry in the 1980s and were soon connected to various satellite and terrestrial wireless networks.
Today, mobile networks can provide ubiquitous online connectivity in many regions at a reasonable cost, and mobile computing technology delivers very high performance as well as excellent usability.
The continuous evolution of connectivity technologies plays an important role for the developments in the fleet telematics sector. Improved uplink speeds and reduced latency have a positive impact by enabling more stable connections and opening up for applications with greater bandwidth demands.
Getting access to multiple complementing networks in a single customised solution that is remotely configurable and includes integrated security features has surfaced as a best practice for many successful telematics implementations in the transport and logistics sector. I
