BLE tag tracking using vehicle trackers

Explanation of vehicle trackers as scanning devices.

Externally powered trackers

BLE tag trackers can be tracked in transit by externally powered trackers or vehicle trackers. Externally powered trackers are connected to the vehicle's battery, scan for nearby tags and send their information to the Sensolus platform.

Vehicle trackers: TRACK 1200, TRACK 1201, TRACK 1202 or TRACK 1203

Figure 1. Tag tracking with externally powered trackers

Note: Using BLE tag trackers and vehicle trackers is ideally if you want to track your assets in transit. Some requirements must be taken into account:

you have control over the transport vehicles and you are allowed to install a tracker in the vehicle.
each asset you want to track should be equipped with a tag tracker.
you know the drop-off and pick-up points of the assets.
