The additional speed of data movement with LTE connectivity boosts Geotab’s connected vehicle capabilities, making its solutions usable well into the next decade. Also, LTE further enables the real-time secure transmission of data from the vehicle to the cloud and back to the vehicle, where in-vehicle driver coaching rules are enabled, according to the Oakville, Ontario-based company.

“With the increasing demand for more sensors in more vehicles, the launch of the GO8 LTE ensures that Geotab’s data continues to be highly reliable, accurate and a trusted source for smart city and connected vehicle planning. LTE is the technology of the future and is receiving very large scale investment by all carriers,” Geotab CEO Neil Cawse said in a statement.



As a commercial vehicle IoT data-analytics organization, Geotab records more than 1.5 billion data points daily from its connected vehicles collectively, according to the company.
