u-blox and Arvento launch new vehicle tracking system

Arvento’s imt.x1 is highly differentiated from other vehicle tracking devices on the market, offering a 6-axis Gyro sensor which can sense 3-dimensional movement caused by emergency acceleration, panic braking and directional yaw and drift. With connectivity options including dual CANBus and Bluetooth, the system is also eCall compatible and captures and provides data for accident analysis and other vehicle tracking functions. The system uses the next generation powerful Arm based microcontroller.

This latest launch is part of a successful 8-year strategic partnership between Arvento and u-blox. The collaboration between the two companies has been described as a key factor in the imt.x1 product development process. The system’s high position sensitivity and accuracy are based on integration of u-blox’s 2G, 4G and 5G-ready cellular modules as well as GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) modules.

The development of the imt.x1 is aligned with Arvento’s vision of becoming a developer of advanced fleet telematics and vehicle tracking devices and will be available from August 2019.
