Wi-Fi device instead of cellular - In vehicle hotspot

TT6 years ago

Hi, I understand that you need cellular to track real time GPS in vehicles, however with my setup, my vehicles have already have internet "Hotspots" for internet connectivity. Can anyone point me towards an compatible inexpensive real time vehicle tracker device that connects to Wi-Fi and not cellular? (Or at lease a Wi-Fi connection option). I'm not finding much out there with the Wi-Fi option.

Thanks!

What kind of hotspots do you have in your vehicles? Many of the mobile wireless routers have built-in GPS for tracking. For example Sierra Wireless and Cradlepoint both have routers with GPS tracking capabilities and they are supported by Traccar.

Good Point, the devices I have are MoFi Network devices, I checked and the model I have does not have the GPS option. (Mine only have 4 anti's). If I purchase any more of them, I will be sure to get the one with GPS.

However, I have a bunch of non GPS ones that i'm still looking for a Wi-Fi inexpensive traccar compatible device, any other suggestions?

Thanks

How about this one:

It's definitely supported. I'm not sure if it uses wifi only to scan for access points or it can use it for uploading data.
