Is your fleet ready for the 2G shutdown?

This means that 2G technology devices will no longer work once the service is shut off.

What this means for fleets with 2G telematics hardware:

• Lose connection to vehicle and driving data
• Unable to track vehicle location or monitor speeding
• Risk of compliance violations

The shutdown will likely impact any company that relies on 2G technology to do business. Industries affected include heavy truck transportation, courier and delivery, construction, utilities, oil, gas and mining, food and beverage, and more.

Here is a quick overview of how to prepare your business or government fleet for the 3G network shutdown:

1. Make an inventory of all your 2G telematics devices.
2. Calculate the time needed to remove and replace the 2G devices in your fleet vehicles.
3. Choose your telematics installer.
4. Schedule the installations.
5. Communicate the change to your fleet team and assign responsibilities for the rollout.

By upgrading sooner than later, you can start benefitting from newer technology and even save on costs.

For procurement, some fleets may also need to write a new telematics request for proposal. Looking for help on what to include?
