There are many different types of tracking devices available on today’s market which includes child, lone worker and mobile phone. All of these devices need to be portable and self powered to be able to provide an effective tracking service, however portable tracking devices are not limited to those mentioned above as they are also available for vehicles; which are proving to be the ideal solution for many companies.
Portable tracking devices are units that have an onboard battery to provide power. Due to advancements in battery technology portable tracking devices are becoming smaller whilst the battery life is getting longer.
The reasons many companies are looking to use portable tracking devices for their vehicles is for the flexibility that they provide compared to ‘fixed install’ systems. For businesses that are changing or replacing their vehicles at regular intervals (every few months) arranging for the existing tracking system to be moved between the 2 vehicles may be costly, especially across a whole fleet. It is worth noting that most fixed install tracking systems require a professional to conduct the de & re installation of the tracking system.
An example of another common use of portable tracking devices is for companies that deliver cars to their customers. These companies want to ensure that their drivers are going directly to their customer and driving within the legal speed limits without leaving the tracking unit with the customer.
