FAQ
Can standard fleet tracking software handle multi-source positioning during jamming?
Most standard platforms cannot. They're designed to take a single GNSS feed. Handling jamming requires specialized software that can accept and weigh inputs from secondary sources like LORAN, eLoran, or onboard inertial...

What is the biggest compliance risk after a jamming attack?
The inability to produce an unbroken, verifiable position log for safety and customs audits. If your system only records GPS-derived points, you're left with a gap that must be filled with manually attested positions, cr...

How can I tell if my ship is being jammed versus just having a bad GPS signal?
Jamming usually causes a complete, simultaneous loss of all GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) and you'll see a rapid drop in the signal-to-noise ratio in the raw device diagnostics. A bad signal might just weak...

When should a fleet consider redesigning their tracking system instead of tuning the existing setup?
You should consider redesigning when your team spends more than 10 hours a month manually syncing data or explaining reporting discrepancies. If the core gap is in fundamental issues like cellular latency or sensor fusio...

How does the cost comparison change for fleets with over 100 vehicles?
For fleets over 100 vehicles, the per-unit hardware or subscription cost becomes less relevant than the operational cost of managing two data streams. The real expense shifts to IT labor for integration, report reconcili...

What are the main compliance risks when using both GPSController and Motive systems?
The biggest compliance risk is having conflicting electronic logging device (ELD) or hours-of-service (HOS) data between the two platforms. This creates a major red flag during DOT audits and forces you to prove which re...

What causes data discrepancies between GPSController and Motive systems for large fleets?
Data discrepancies occur due to differences in network architecture and data transmission methods. One system might batch and delay location transmissions to save on cellular data, while the other pushes real-time pings...

When is it time to replace the telematics system instead of fixing the AI?
When latency is in the core communication—device to server. If standard location pings in raw logs are consistently 5 or more minutes late, the hardware or network protocol is the bottleneck, requiring platform replaceme...

How many vehicles before AI data delay becomes a critical risk?
The risk doesn't scale evenly. With 10 trucks, delays are just annoying. Beyond 30 vehicles, coordinated dispatch and dynamic routing start to break down, leading to systemic inefficiency and real risk for hours-of-servi...

Can poor cellular coverage cause AI analytics to fail?
Yes, absolutely. AI models require a continuous data feed. Cellular coverage gaps create data holes, causing the AI to fill them with assumptions. This leads to inaccurate insights on fuel burn, idle time, and fuel perfo...

What does AI signal loss look like in a fleet dashboard?
AI signal loss appears as timely analytics from delayed data. For example, a 'live' ETA prediction that doesn't update when a truck is stuck in traffic because the AI isn't receiving the current GPS stream. The dashboard...

What are the key data accuracy requirements for GPS tracking systems to qualify for insurance discounts?
Key requirements include: timestamped logs that cannot be altered, reporting delays under 30 seconds for event validation (some insurers require this), specific event codes like SAE J1939 CAN bus data for hard accelerati...
