Piccolo Plus IoT Gateway
The Industry's Most Innovative, Modular & Complete GPS Telematics Gateway
*available on 4g lte networks worldwide
The most innovative and complete GPS Telematics Gateway with an unparalleled set of features including built-in WiFi Hotspot, Dashcam support, wireless sensor data, and ELD-ready for HOS Compliance.
Built-In WiFi Hotspot
Functions as a in-cabin WIFI Hotspot and wireless router allowing communication of any mobile device to the internet. The major advantage is that it lets you use one sim card, one cellular bill for GPS tracking, ELD, dispatch and messaging.
Reduced Monthly Charges
Fleet management, ELD and camera functionalities use ONE single SIM which eliminates the need for multiple SIM cards with multiple charges and enables the use of the less expensive WIFI tablet and WIFI Camera .
Plug & Play Integration
Plug & Play integration into any 3rd
party application via API or TCP/IP
Integration
Upgraded to Lead Telematics into IoT
In addition to it’s many telematics functionalities, the major advantage of the Piccolo Plus IoT device is that it functions as a in-cabin WIFI Hotspot and an IoT Gateway with integrated IoT BLE tags – for countless applications.

How it works
Connect to almost any vehicle on the road with a variety of cable options.
The Dual Facing DashCam captures driver behavior events detected by the Piccolo Plus: sudden brake , sudden acceleration , sudden lane crossing sudden turns. Supports up to 2 additional cameras.
Functions as a wireless router enabling the camera system along with the HOS tablet for ELD to communicate through the Piccolo Plus, routing the data to the internet over 4G LTE cellular connection.
In addition to it’s many telematics functionalities, various IoT BLE tags have been integrated with the Piccolo Plus IoT. This functionality allows the Piccolo Plus IoT to act as an IoT Gateway which is used to process and forward the IoT data to the server- for multiple asset tracking applications and wireless sensors for temperature monitoring.
Compliant with Federal, Texas Oil, Texas Overweight, Agriculture exemption, California, Canadian DOT and Mexico rulings with auto-switch based on location.
