CAN Telematics Gateway


Our CAN Telematics Gateway is advanced version of CAN bus gateway device that bridges the gap between vehicle systems and advanced telematics platforms. The gateway connects to the vehicle's CAN bus, accessing real-time data for onboard diagnostics and predictive maintenance applications.

CAN telematics gateway can be configured with the suitable DBC file which defines the structure of CAN messages and information for decoding the physical values. Telematics gateway captures raw CAN data (IDs and payloads) transmitted on the CAN bus by various vehicle tracking system. The gateway identifies messages by matching their CAN IDs with the IDs defined in the DBC file. Using the DBC file, the gateway decodes the raw data into meaningful signals (e.g., speed, engine RPM, temperature). The decoded and transmitted data are show in a PreciCloud cloud dashboard.

Applications

Remote Vehicle on board diagnostics

CAN telematics gateway connects to a vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD-II) port or CAN bus system to acquire vehicle vital data. The gateway captures raw diagnostic data and uses DBC file to convert raw data into actionable information. It differs from CAN bus gateway in a way that it can decode the raw frames and provide the human readable physical values.
Using public cellular network (4G/2G), the telematics gateway transmits diagnostic and operational data to the fleet management system. These protocols ensure reliable and secure data flow. The transmitted data can be analyzed in PreciCloud dashboard. This enables: Real-time vehicle health monitoring, and immediate alerts for critical faults.

FAQs

A CAN Telematics Gateway is a device that connects a vehicle’s CAN bus (Controller Area Network) with external telematics systems (e.g., cloud platforms, or mobile apps). It collects, filters, translates, and transmits vehicle data (such as speed, fuel level, battery status, fault codes, GPS location) over cellular communication.
