Tracking Device Integration

We have two different models for tracking device integration.

Option 1 - Using GpsGate Server Protocol

If you want your tracking devices to work with GpsGate.com BuddyTracker - which is free to use - you need to implement GpsGate Server Protocol. The protocol is open and there are no fees. You find the protocol specifications here: GpsGate Server Protocol

Using GpsGate Server Protocol your device will also work with customers who have their own GpsGate Server, either installed on their own servers or hosted by us. We can also add your device to the Connect Guide.

GpsGate TrackerOne

GpsGate TrackerOne is a reference design for how a tracker unit interacts with GpsGate Server.
TrackerOne can be implemented as a software client on a mobile phone, or similar mobile device. Or as a black box tracker device. The TrackerOne reference design is focused on tracker / server interaction and leaves the field open for how the actual software and hardware is designed and implemented.

Option 2 - Support for your current device protocol

We can implement support for your device protocol. We would charge you for the development time. If you are interested please contact us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

This integration will not be supported on the main GpsGate.com service. It will be available as a custom option to customers who install and run their own servers, or let us host their server.

Common GpsGate Usage

In general there are three ways to use GpsGate applications.

1. Use the BuddyTracker / VehicleTracker available on GpsGate.com

2. Let us host a custom server. More information about that option here.

3. The customer runs his own server on his own hardware. More information about that option here.

If you implement GpsGate Server Protocol in your devices, all options will be available for customers using your devices.
If you let us implement your protocol, option 2 and 3 will be available for customers using your devices.
