#### The Drawbacks of Devices Going Dark

IoT solutions play a crucial role in streamlining fleet management and ensuring compliance, but their effectiveness is heavily reliant on continuous, reliable connectivity. This means connectivity must follow devices seamlessly, switching between networks as needed to avoid coverage gaps. When devices lose connection, it undermines the full potential of fleet management systems.

For example, if a device tracking hours of service or fuel consumption loses connectivity for a period, fleet managers could fail to report data properly, risking noncompliance and potential fines.

To prevent this, it’s essential to utilize robust, always-on global connectivity that ensures devices remain connected. floLIVE Americas President Curtis Govan attended the OEM Industry Summit 2024 and presented how to achieve reliable, uninterrupted connectivity for your fleet. Watch the on-demand recording to learn:

- Why connectivity is king in fleet telematics
- How the landscape and demand for connectivity is shifting alongside new solutions development
- The cost of devices going dark and how to avoid it
