Concepts
IoT (Internet of Things)
Network of internet-connected physical devices that automatically collect and share data.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an ecosystem of physical devices equipped with sensors, software and connectivity that allows them to collect and exchange data over the internet without human intervention.
IoT in vehicle telematics
In the context of fleets and vehicles, IoT refers to devices like GPS trackers that:
- Collect vehicle data (position, speed, fuel, temperature)
- Automatically transmit to the cloud via LTE, GSM or WiFi
- Enable real-time data-driven decision making
- Integrate with other systems (ERP, TMS, tracking platforms)
