GO10 overview

Explore GO10 features and how it keeps fleet data safe.

The GO10 is a next-generation high-performance telematics device designed for modern fleets. It serves as a universal operations hub that enables advanced visibility, control, and asset protection.


GO10 device with three connector ports and a status indicator.

Features

  • The GO10 collects and transmits GPS, engine telemetry, driving events, and device diagnostics, along with vehicle-specific metrics like speed, fuel, and fault data

  • On-Board Bluetooth Connectivity: Detects and relays signals from Geotab-compatible BLE beacons without any additional hardware. This powers Geotab Small Asset Tracking, a solution that lets fleets monitor the location and movement of small tools and equipment.

  • Integrated Auxiliaries (I/O Pins): Enables monitoring of vehicle and equipment status (PTO, cargo door, seat belt, etc.) with automatic data labeling via MyInstall.

  • Energy Reserve (Last Gasp): Detects sudden power loss and sends high-priority alerts to notify when device has been disconnected.

  • Expandability & Video: Supports all Geotab IOX add-ons for extended data insights (sensors, accessories, other use cases like cold chain/public works) and full GO Focus camera compatibility.

  • Global Connectivity (4G LTE CAT1 Modem): Upgraded to ensure reliable connectivity across borders, simplifying deployment and logistics for international fleets.

Note:

The GO10 does not support PWM/JPW protocols which limits the make, model, and year coverage, specifically legacy pre-2010 heavy-duty and offroad equipment.

Security

Geotab platform security is designed for end-to-end protection of your data.

  • GO devices and network interfaces use authentication, encryption, and message integrity verification.

  • GO devices are 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.

  • Geotab uses independent third-party experts to validate the platform from end to end.
