BLE tag tracking using vehicle trackers

Explanation of vehicle trackers as scanning devices.

Externally powered trackers

BLE tag trackers can be tracked in transit and their drop-off location can be shown by externally powered trackers or vehicle trackers. Externally powered trackers are connected to the vehicle's battery, scan for nearby tags and send their information to the Sensolus platform.

Note: Using BLE tag trackers and vehicle trackers is ideally if you want to track your assets on drop-off. Some requirements must be taken into account:

you have control over the transport vehicles and you are allowed to install a tracker in the vehicle.
each asset you want to track should be equipped with a tag tracker.
