BlackKite-Fleet, is a variant tailored to address mobile assets and fleet management applications, with integrated highly accurate SiRF IV GPS. It is built with additional features to address solutions beyond “Track and Trace”.

The device offers dedicated interfaces to monitor vehicle ignition, battery and panic button. The additional 3x digital inputs could be configured to remotely monitor in-vehicle status like door lock, Oil level indication and fair meter. The device also provides 3x digital output lines to control on-board electronic devices and to immobilize vehicle during unauthorized usage. 2x analog inputs are provided to monitor and measure analog parameters like fuel, temperature and load. It also includes RS232 serial interface to connect external devices like RFID reader for operator authentication or digital sensors for parameter monitoring.
