Built on proven hardware and platform technology
Proton GPS runs on Teltonika tracking hardware and the GpsGate fleet management platform. GpsGate officially supports Teltonika devices out of the box, so nothing about this pairing is improvised.
Teltonika hardware
- CAN bus reading (J1939/J1708): real fuel consumption and level, full mileage, engine temperature and hours read directly from the vehicle.
- Tachograph integration: remote download of driver-time data via K-Line, ALL-CAN, Tacho CAN or FMS connections.
- RS232 / RS485 interfaces: connect external temperature sensors, fuel-level probes and RFID readers to the same unit.
- RFID / iButton driver ID: immobilizer logic tied to an authorized chip or card per driver.
- Built-in accelerometer events: crash detection, towing detection, unplug/tamper alerts and green-driving scoring, without extra hardware.
- BLE 4.0 wireless sensors: Teltonika EYE sensors and beacons pair over Bluetooth for temperature, door or fuel add-ons with no extra wiring.
- Remote firmware updates (FOTA): devices are reconfigured and updated over the air, no truck needs to come off the road for it.
- Internal backup battery: kept reporting even if a vehicle’s power is cut or the unit is tampered with.
- 4G LTE Cat 1 models available for faster, more frequent reporting where coverage supports it.
GpsGate platform
- Real-time tracking: location, vehicle and asset monitoring with historical reporting and GIS integration.
- Geofencing & POI management: virtual boundaries and points of interest that push instant notifications on unauthorized use or cargo theft.
- Driver behavior monitoring: harsh braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turns scored to lower risk and fuel use.
- Configurable rules engine: any device input (speeding, idling, geofence entry, sensor threshold) can trigger a custom alert or action.
- Mobile companion app: the same fleet view, alerts and reports available to managers and drivers on their phone.
- Custom, schedulable reports: mileage, hours, stops and sensor data, built once and delivered on a schedule.
- REST API & scripting: an open API and event pipeline for teams that want fleet data inside their own systems.
- White-label ready: branding, localization, email and SMS templates can be configured per deployment.
What the hardware catches on its own
Teltonika’s built-in accelerometer turns raw motion into fleet-relevant events. No extra sensor required for any of these four.
Crash detection
A sudden, severe deceleration is flagged and timestamped the moment it happens.
Towing detection
Movement with the engine off is a strong signal the vehicle is being moved without authorization.
Unplug & tamper alerts
If the device loses power or is disconnected, that event itself is logged and reported.
Excessive idling
Engine-on, vehicle-stationary time is tracked separately from driving time, straight into fuel-cost reporting.
