How Do I Protect My Business from the End of the 2G World?

Most GPS devices purchased prior to late 2013 run on a cellular data network called 2G. 

The issue is that mobile providers like AT&T are stopping 2G support and taking down the cell towers that support 2G networks. So, what does that mean for your GPS vehicle tracking? If you have 2G devices installed, you may already be experiencing signal degradation which means your tracking coverage may be spotty or non-existent in certain areas.

So, how do you know for sure whether or not you have 2G installed? 

Your first step is to contact your GPS tracking provider. 

They should be able to tell you what technology you’re running on. If you’re on 2G, the bottom line is this – it could be time to install new devices.

What is 2G and Why Should You Care?

Does your business use GPS tracking to monitor vehicle location and driver behavior? 

If so, when did you purchase your GPS tracking devices? 

Most GPS devices purchased prior to 2013 run on a cellular data network called 2G. 

The issue is that, many major data carriers plan to turn off the 2G network by the end of 2016, so they can repurpose the cell towers for newer data services that deliver faster speeds and larger bandwidth. 

This means that your vehicle tracking could be subject to network degradation which means you could be paying for service with spotty coverage.

To avoid interruption in your GPS vehicle management, you should plan a migration strategy to minimize impact on your business operations and bottom line. 

That’s where Safety Track comes in. They offer a future-proof network with the best coverage available! 

You’ll be 2G-Sunset-ready and have wider reach, more reliable connections and faster network access!

Fleet Tracking with a Connected Car option

One of the biggest enhancement in the Fleet Tracking vertical is the addition of a Connected Car "Hotspot".

Now fleet managers can outfit their fleet vehicles with a fleet management system, one that gives them 30 second updates, along wit a hotspot built into the tracking module.
Let your drivers benefit from the hotspot to do paper at the customer location.

Connect up to five devices to give a office environment for your office staff to use while traveling.
4G LTE speed gives you the added speed and with Verizon network, you have nothing to worry about.

Fleet Camera and GPS Tracking? All in One Unit?

We have been looking for a device that would increase the Fleet Safety of our company.

There are quit a few devices out there that say they can do this.
Ask any GPS tracking Provider and they will tell you that by adding a Fleet Management System to your fleet, that it will be safety.

Ask a Fleet Camera supplier and they will say the same. Each have a point and can provide an added level of safety to any company.
knowing where your employees are at any given time is a big advantage and seeing speed alerts can definitely help you coach and counsel your driver on better driving habits.

Having a video of a driver during a "Event" will help you do the same.
The problem is, you may need both to prove the highest level of safety to your fleet.
But where can you find a system that gives you both.

I think the search may be over.

A live streaming 3G continuous recording camera, that can provide a fleet tracking suite.
All in one device.

We even found out that you can get anywhere from 2 to 8 cameras. Really. And the 2 camera system starts at just under $350.00, plus what ever data plan you choose. The 1GB plans starts at $29.95!   Add $8.95 for a GPS Fleet Tracking plan and you have a system that gives you continuous recording, live streaming Video and a full featured GPS tracking suite.

I think some may be paying that for just tracking.

This company is a Women owned business, based in Michigan and has been in this vertical for over 12 years, and i bet you have never heard of them

It has everything in the name.

Replace your Nextraq GPS Fleet Tracking Unit

Nextraq, formally Discreet Wireless, Had a great distributor model. Local companies could purchase a national brand GPS fleet Tracking product, from a local distributor. It was working great too.

It was kind of like a car dealership.

You love the brand name, but really liked the local service. Drive of the lot with a brand new Chevy and have the service done at the local shop.

Well, finally at the beginning of 2014, Nextraq said "Good Bye" to all their distributors and took all the accounts in house. Had an idea that they could service them better than a local company. Really? Service them from over 1200 miles away. had they ever step foot into their office? Another BIG Business mindset.

Even changed the cost structure, making all customers to use a SaaS model and told companies that the units were guaranteed for life.  The one thing that did change was the Price. It changed drastically. If you are reading this, then I'm "Preaching to the Choir".

Well now you may be able to replace that Expense Tracking device in your fleet, with a same model, for a fraction of the cost.

Really!

Same hardware, use the same wiring harness and get all the features you need.

Check it out.

Hardware for about $150.00 per unit.

Monthly for about $24.95.  And that is for 30 second updates. 

Oh yeah, it includes a Driver Scorecard too.

Why You Need Safety Track's Fleet Tracking

Replacing Your Fleet Tracking Supplier!

There comes a time when you ask yourself, why am I staying with my current GPS fleet tracking provider(Nextraq)?

Maybe you bought from a local GPS fleet tracking reseller, someone you knew, or they sat in your office. You built a relationship with them. They understood your business and what you wanted from a tracking provider. They installed the system and serviced you for all your needs.

THEN, the GPS Fleet Tracking service provider (Nextraq) decided they wanted to cut out the middle man and take over the account. They even may send out an email saying "Everything will be OK"

How did you respond?

Was everything OK.

 Is the service better, or worse?

 Do you know the person at the end of the phone line?

Do you now have to call the provider to get someone to come out and fix a problem.

Whatever happened to things like:  

   loyalty

   honesty

   service

   support

Have these been replaced with the term - profit?

If you are in this boat and are tired of the way you have been treated. 

Do you want someone who is willing to work for your business, or you just feel that you are paying way too much for the product you get.

Then maybe you should look around.

If you are paying more than $27.95 per month per vehicle, than you should be looking around.

We have a new program, no hardware cost!  $27.95 and no hardware cost?

There are companies out there that still have integrity.  

Will work for your business.

Call us, Safety Track, we will work for your business.
