GPS trackers connect to a series of satellites to determine location. The tracker uses a
process called trilateration which uses the position of three or more satellites from
the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network and its distance from them to
determine latitude, longitude, elevation, and time.
Yes, if this device is compatible with our systems. You can see the list of compatible
devices here. New equipment is adapted on the basis of economic considerations.
Durability – The equipment needs to be able to withstand jostling, foul weather,
tampering, and any other condition that might be encountered in the field. Durability is
critical to the longevity of trailer gps tracking.
Reliable reporting – In many cases, you will not be able to get to your trailers
quickly, especially if they are in another part of the country, which is why it is so
important for you to get reliable information on a regular basis.
Longevity – Because trailers do not need to be serviced as frequently as vehicles, GPS
tracking units stay in the field for much longer periods of time. You want to be
confident that batteries will last for several years.
Network flexibility – Look for a system that employs both GPRS and CDMA wireless
networks to transfer data from the unit to your software.
Alerts – You might want to know when a trailer is in motion or whether it is moving when
it is not supposed to be. A good GPS tracking system for trailers will have both motion
and off-hour alerts. You should also look for power disconnect alerts so you know when a
vehicle has been disconnected from a trailer.
Regular updates – If a trailer is stolen or moved to an unwanted location, the sooner
you know about it, the faster you can act on it. Look for a system that provides updates
at least once every six hours.
