Get More From Every Vehicle
Connected Fleet Visibility From the Road to the Office
The Geotab GO10 GPS tracking device connects directly to a vehicle to collect location, diagnostic, movement, and other operational data. Its concurrent GNSS support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou provides accurate positioning, while 4G LTE Cat 1 bis connectivity supports reliable communication across supported regions. Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 also allows the GO10 to detect compatible Bluetooth beacons without requiring additional hardware.
By bringing vehicle and fleet data together, the GO10 can help businesses better understand how vehicles are being used, monitor fleet activity, identify operational issues, and make more informed decisions. The device is compatible with a wide range of vehicle communication protocols and supports both light-duty and heavy-duty applications where the appropriate vehicle interfaces are available.
Features & Benefits
Flexible telematics technology built to support modern fleet operations
Accurate GPS & GNSS Positioning
The GO10 uses concurrent GNSS technology supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou to determine vehicle location. Under open-sky conditions, the device provides approximately 1.5-metre CEP-50 positioning accuracy, helping businesses maintain detailed visibility into vehicle movements.
Reliable 4G LTE Connectivity
The GO10 features an LTE Cat 1 bis modem designed to provide reliable cellular connectivity across supported regions. Its available cellular configurations support multiple LTE bands, making the device suitable for fleets operating across different areas and, depending on the model and certification, across borders.
Monitor Small Equipment With Bluetooth
Built-in Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 allows the GO10 to detect compatible Geotab BLE beacons without requiring additional hardware. This enables businesses to extend visibility beyond their vehicles and monitor the location and movement of smaller tools and equipment.
Built for Demanding Fleet Environments
The GO10 is designed to operate across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and is built to meet several environmental and mechanical testing requirements, including temperature cycling, vibration, humidity, and operational shock. Its housing is constructed from PC+ABS and the device supports both 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems.
Monitor Specialized Vehicle Functions
Four software-configurable auxiliary inputs and one digital output allow the GO10 to connect with specialized vehicle functions and equipment. These connections can support use cases involving PTO monitoring, seatbelt detection, and certain remote actions such as vehicle immobilization when the appropriate setup is used.
Know When a Device Loses Power
The GO10 includes an onboard energy reserve that provides Last Gasp functionality. When the device experiences a sudden loss of power, it can log data and attempt to transmit a high-priority notification, helping alert fleet managers when a device has been disconnected or vehicle power has been interrupted.
Connect Your Fleet to More Possibilities
A Flexible Platform for Growing Fleets
The GO10 is designed to support more than the needs of a basic GPS tracking system. Its combination of vehicle diagnostics, GNSS positioning, cellular connectivity, Bluetooth, auxiliary inputs, and IOX expansion gives businesses a flexible foundation for managing increasingly connected fleets.
As fleet requirements change, businesses can add compatible hardware and sensors rather than replacing the core telematics device. This makes the GO10 suitable for organizations looking to build a more connected fleet management environment across vehicles, equipment, and other operational assets.
Built With Fleet Security in Mind
Protect Your Telematics Data
The GO10 incorporates security measures designed to protect data transmitted between the device and the Geotab platform. GO devices use authentication, encryption, and message integrity verification, while each device has a unique identifier and non-static security key.
Firmware updates are also digitally signed to verify that updates originate from a trusted source, helping maintain the security of the device throughout its lifecycle.
