Open Telematics Solution Demonstration

HMS Industrial Networks Demonstrates an Open Telematics Solution at the Truckload Carriers Association Conference

Powered by Dell Edge Gateway 3002 at TCA 2018

Vertically integrated, closed, telematics and fleet management solutions dominate the market today. Most vendors of these systems completely define the electronics required to enable the system, creating a closed system. Realizing the true value of this data, vendors aggressively monetized fleet data: selling to third parties, and even selling fleet owners their own data. Most fleet owners are forced to stay with their original telematics provider despite increasing costs.

The market is evolving, and more open systems are available today. Vendors like Dell offer edge devices specifically built for vehicle integration. The new vision for fleet telematics includes owning your own data, adding only the features required and being able to migrate from one vendor to another without switching costs.
