Vehicle Gateway

Vehicle Gateway

The Vehicle Gateway provides live GPS tracking, FMCSA-registered ELD capabilities, engine diagnostics, a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, driver workflows, advanced analytics and more. With real-time fleet visibility, customisable reports and easy-to-use management tools, fleets can keep drivers productive, lower operating costs and easily manage compliance.

Precise GPS tracking with real-time visibility

Samsara's advanced GPS technology simultaneously reads from multiple independent satellite systems, providing precise, real-time location even in challenging geographical environments.

Provides complete visibility over vehicles, drivers and operations

The Vehicle Gateway integrates information from a variety of built-in and accessory sensors, providing a comprehensive and intuitive view of your fleet. The Vehicle Gateway monitors engine diagnostics, fuel efficiency, driver productivity and safety. The Vehicle Gateway is ideal for refrigerated fleets, supporting wireless temperature monitoring and specialised fleets with visibility into power takeoff, lift arm, ploughs, sweepers, fluid tanks, gas pressure and more.

A platform for location, ELD, dash cams and more

The Vehicle Gateway is the hub of Samsara's complete solution, enabling operators to implement ELD-ready hours of service logging, deploy Internet-connected dash cams for improved safety, connect wireless sensors to monitor reefers and cargo, and more.

High-speed 4G LTE Cellular Connectivity

The Vehicle Gateway offers a 10x speed advantage over 3G devices, providing a high-speed data platform ideal for mobile apps, dash cameras and HD video to increase productivity and enable new in-cab software tools. A built-in Wi-Fi hotspot enables in-cab Wi-Fi connectivity for tablets, laptops and mobile devices.

Secure and easy to install with y-splitting cables and tamper alerts

With a flexible and intuitive mounting system, smart diagnostics connectors and internal antennas, the Vehicle Gateway can be installed in most vehicles in just a few minutes. Discreet mounting options minimise the risk of tampering and a built-in, rechargeable battery enables the Vehicle Gateway to send a wireless alert in the event that it is unplugged from the vehicle.

Rugged, flexible device works in virtually any vehicle

The Vehicle Gateway is equally at home in cars and light trucks, tractor-trailers and heavy-duty, industrial or specialised vehicles. With a rugged design tested for vibration, shock, moisture and extreme temperatures, the Vehicle Gateway is built for reliable performance under the rigours of industrial fleet operations.

Part of a complete, business-relevant solution

The Vehicle Gateway is part of Samsara's complete solution to provide visibility into vehicles, drivers, cargo, mobile assets, energy and industrial processes. With the Vehicle Gateway, operators can improve driver safety, analyse route performance, simplify reporting and compliance, increase driver productivity and lower operating cost.
