GO Anywhere Plus overview

GO® Anywhere Plus™ is a versatile global asset tracker for powered and non-powered assets, including trailers, containers, and heavy equipment, with optional direct-to-cell satellite connectivity.

GO® Anywhere Plus™ is a versatile and robust global asset tracker designed for a wide range of powered and non-powered assets, including trailers, containers, and heavy equipment. The device provides deep insights into asset utilization by monitoring movement, trip history, and distance traveled (odometer), alongside ignition and engine hours for maintenance scheduling. With unique direct-to-cell technology (available through select partners), it ensures reliable tracking even in areas without cellular coverage.

Getting started

Use the following resources to install and activate GO® Anywhere Plus™:

Bluetooth

GO® Anywhere Plus™ uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to detect nearby compatible tags. When the device detects a tag, MyGeotab uses the device's location to report where the tag, and the small asset it's attached to, was last seen. For setup and map behavior, see Small asset tracking.

Requirements

  • GO® Anywhere Plus™ is wired to external power. Bluetooth tag detection isn't available in battery-only configuration.

  • The device is running firmware version 132.3.13 or later. To check the firmware version: Navigate to Assets, select the asset, open the Devices & Settings tab, find the

    GO® Anywhere Plus™ card and select Show advanced settings.

  • Bluetooth is currently used only for detecting tags. Contact your Geotab partner for information on compatible tags.

Security

Geotab platform security is designed for end-to-end protection of your data. Key implementations include the following:

  • The GO® Anywhere Plus™ network interfaces use authentication, data-in-transit encryption, data-at-rest encryption (AES-256), and message integrity verification.
  • The GO® Anywhere Plus™ device is individualized. Each device uses a unique ID and non-static security key, making it difficult to fake a device's identity.
  • Over-the-air updates use digitally-signed firmware to verify that updates come from a trusted source.
