Description
This device is an OBD II with integrated cellular and GNSS connectivity. The device provides bi-directional, half- duplex communication with the vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic system (OBD-II). It supports all legislated OBD-II protocols for cars, pickups, light trucks, and heavy trucks.
The device has integrated LTE cat 1 and GNSS modem. The LTE modem is an embedded LTE Cat 1 cellular communication module. The wireless modem provides a maximum data rate of 10Mbps downlink and 5 Mbps uplink. It provides data connectivity on LTE-FDD/HSPA/WCDMA/GSM/EDGE/GPRS networks.
The GNSS modem supports Qualcomm® IZat™ location technology Gen8C Lite (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS) with assisted GPS for increased accuracy. The integrated GNSS greatly simplifies product design, and provides quicker, more accurate and more dependable positioning.
In addition, the device is powered by Microchip Microcontroller Unit (MCU) which is a 32-bit ARM Cortex® M0+ core. This MCU can be used to control both the OBD II controller and the modem using Arduino IDE. The MCU enables vast majority of customized applications to be easily run on the device.
A wealth of information can be obtained by tapping into the OBD II controller, obtaining precise geo-location of the vehicle, and transmitting the information over the cellular connection to the Cloud. Using OBD II controller, information such as status of the malfunction indicator light (MIL), diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), inspection and maintenance (I/M), freeze frames, VIN, hundreds of real-time parameters, and more can be easily collected, stored on the Cloud, processed, and analyzed.
