In between the gathering of important fleet data from vehicles and drivers on the road and the visualization of that data in reports is the technology used to transmit that data to the fleet tracking application. Choosing the product with the right transmission technology for your needs is one of the most important decisions to be made during the system evaluation process.

If total geographic coverage and near real-time data communication is essential to the business operations, then satellite transmission is the only choice. Safety and security of the driver, vehicle and load can be the primary reason for this choice where speeding, boundary crossings and unauthorized use need to be captured, regardless of location. But, other considerations such as time sensitivity in the cases of customer service or competitive differentiation may also make satellite the communication infrastructure of choice.

FMS provides all satellite-based data communication and offers the choice of ORBCOMM, the low cost leader or Iridium, with its pole to pole availability and near real-time performance. Read this white paper for further information on making this important choice.
