WiFi is a low-cost method of exchanging data that is not time critical (such as log files and engine diagnostics) or for performing over-the-air software updates which would typically not be sent over the GPRS network for cost reasons
The Vector 300GWP vehicle tracking device adds WiFi and PLC4Trucks interfaces to the standard Vector 300 series feature set, which already supports GPRS, GPS, J1939, J1708, CAN, Bluetooth and other interfaces.
According to Imarda CEO Selwyn Pellett, the Vector 300GWP has been developed to meet the fleet tracking needs of truck-load and less-than-truckload where trailer tracking is a key requirement. "The inbuilt PLC4trucks interface provides the ability to monitor trailer hook and drops when used in conjunction with a PLC4Trucks compatible Tag fitted to the trailer," explains Pellett. "The PLC4Trucks interface is supported with a full C++.NET API which implements trailer monitoring using Imarda or third party supplied Trailer Tags."
The addition of the WiFi interface enables the cost effective transfer of data from the vehicle's device to a server when the vehicle is within range of an authorised WiFi network. "WiFi is a low-cost method of exchanging data that is not time critical (such as log files and engine diagnostics) or for performing over-the-air software updates which would typically not be sent over the GPRS network for cost reasons," says Selwyn Pellett.

Windows CE 5.0 plus .NET Compact Framework
