Vehicle Tracking Device With CAN Bus Gateway Connects OBD-II Or SAE J1939 To Remote TCP Servers

Falcom (Germany) has introduced their Iobox-CAN, which connects to the Fox3-2G/3G/4G gateway via USB. The Fox3-2G/3G/4G gateway, in turn, links to a CAN Bus vehicle network (e.g., per OBDII interface) and reads the CAN Bus data and transmits it to a remote TCP server. The Iobox-CAN provides a second independent CAN Bus interface. It also comes with [...]
