What Is Real-Time GPS Vehicle Tracking and How Does It Work?
A GPS tracking system pinpoints the exact location of your vehicles using satellite signals, transmitting that data via 4G/LTE mobile networks to a secure cloud platform in near-real-time. Here’s how the process works:
Step | What Happens |
1. Device Installed | A compact GPS tracking device is fitted to the vehicle OBD plug-in or hardwired, depending on the vehicle type |
2. Satellite Signal | The GPS tracking device locks onto satellite signals to determine precise location, speed, heading, and mileage |
3. 4G Transmission | Location and engine data is transmitted via 4G mobile network to Mobil-i’s secure MST cloud platform |
4. Live Dashboard | Fleet managers view real-time positions on MST Web (browser) or MST Mobile (iOS/Android app) |
5. Alerts & Reports | Instant alerts for speeding, geofence breaches, harsh driving, or unauthorised use. Full trip history and reports available |
