InHand VG710 Streamlines 50-Firetruck Fleet Management for Urban Fire Department

1. Scenario Background

A city’s fire department manages 50 fire trucks, but struggled with critical gaps:
  • No real-time visibility of each truck’s emergency light/siren status (blind to on-duty status)
  • Navigation tablets’ Wi-Fi often dropped (missing time-sensitive dispatch routes)
  • Inaccurate GNSS location data delayed emergency deployment

2. Product Selection

InHand VG710 In-Vehicle Gateway — built for mission-critical fleet scenarios: supports GNSS positioning, 24/7 LTE/Wi-Fi connectivity, and I/O interfaces to link on-truck devices.

3. Core Pain Points

  1. No real-time monitoring of 50 trucks’ emergency light/siren status
  2. Unreliable Wi-Fi for navigation tablets (missed dispatch routes)
  3. Inaccurate GNSS location slowing emergency scheduling

4. Solutions with VG710

  • Status Tracking: VG710’s I/O ports connect to each truck’s emergency light/siren; real-time status data is sent to the Fleet Management System (FMS) via LTE.
  • Stable Navigation: VG710 provides 24/7 uninterrupted Wi-Fi for on-truck tablets, linking to the dispatch system (via LTE) to receive routes instantly.
  • Precise Positioning: VG710’s built-in GNSS uploads 2-meter-accurate location data to FMS, showing real-time truck positions.

5. Implementation Results

  • 100% real-time visibility of emergency light/siren status (no more blind spots)
  • 0 Wi-Fi dropouts for tablets — dispatch routes are received within 3 seconds
  • Emergency deployment time shortened by 20% (faster incident response)
