What is meant by device intelligence?
Intelligence refers to the sophistication level of the software and hardware on board the device itself. Some devices may only output information when requested by a host application such as an attached laptop or a command from the remote dispatch center. An intelligent device can be programmed to output information based events such as speed thresholds, entering or exiting regions, time elapsed, distance traveled, status changes, and a whole host of other events. In addition, an intelligent device will store information when communications are lost.
