WHY FROTCOM SERIES:
The Hidden Benefits Of Frotcom's Device Firmware?
Why doesn't Frotcom support every GPS tracking device on the market?
A: Because We Build Something Better
Did You Know?
Why doesn't Frotcom Support Every Tracking Device?
💡 Not all trackers allow us to use our firmware, which is why we only support selected devices.
Use does Frotcom Use Its Own Firmware?
💡 Almost all devices behave differently and you are wholly reliant on the firmware quality and functionality offered by that device manufacturer.
The Following are some of the Hidden Benefits of Frotcom’s Proprietary Firmware:
1. Lower Data Usage = Lower Costs
- Frotcom trackers use only 2.2 MB/month on average
- Less data means lower monthly service costs
- Even in regions with expensive mobile data, we deliver detailed tracking (e.g., every 2 seconds) cost-effectively
🔍 How? Through:
- Advanced data compression
- Smart processing: Only critical data is sent—alarms are prioritized, routine info is filtered
2. Consistent Performance Across All Devices
- Mixed fleets = multiple vehicle types and tracking needs
- Different devices using different firmware = inconsistent behavior
- Example: “Harsh braking” might be flagged differently by two devices
→ Skews driver performance scores
✅ Frotcom firmware ensures uniform event detection and fair driver comparisons, no matter the device
3. Unlock Advanced Features:
Some features just don’t work the same (or at all) with generic firmware. One example:
Vehicle Immobilization Options
Available only with Frotcom firmware:
- Automatically based on driver ID or Geofence entry / exit
- Manually via fleet manager request
Generic firmware may not support both options simultaneously.
Built for Fleet Managers, by Fleet Managers
