Introduction
Among the many technological trends in today's
world, the increase in connectivity is perhaps the
most significant. Technologies such as 5G cellular
networks, WiFi, and the Internet of Things (IoT)
are creating a world where people and devices
are more interconnected than at any other time
in history.
These technologies have led to the development
of the field known as fleet telematics, a subset
of asset tracking in which an asset's data are
monitored and analyzed in order to inform real-
time decisions to maximize efficiencies.
Systems for fleet telematics generally consist of
various sensors, such as GPS and environmental
sensors, microcontrollers, and transceivers
which gather and share data with the cloud via
a cellular modem. Once data are in the cloud,
analytics software such as machine learning
tools can perform predictive analysis on the data
and dynamically adjust the asset's behavior to
optimize for efficiency.
While fleet telematics has the potential to bring
significant value to businesses and consumers,
several significant hardware design challenges
and considerations exist.
This eBook will explore some of the major
considerations in the design of fleet telematics
solutions and best practices for each. Read on to
learn more about how TE Connectivity addresses
these challenges to provide the best fleet
telematics designs possible for their customers.
