Small, tough,
and always on.
The everyday hardwired tracker. Compact enough to tuck out of the way, with backup power so a trip is never lost, and the alerts a fleet manager actually acts on.
The one most vehicles get.
Compact and tough, on a 4G LTE Cat M1 connection. Ignition is sensed from vehicle voltage and movement from the accelerometer, so the trip record does not depend on a port that might not be there.
- Crash detection, overspeed alerts, idle monitoring and towing notices
- Backup power, so a disconnected trip is still a recorded trip
- No OBD port needed
It doubles as the gateway your tools check in through.
Pair it with AirIQ's Tool Tag solution and the truck becomes the thing that reports where a tool was last seen, which is usually the question that matters on a Monday morning.
- Bluetooth tags check in through the vehicle
- Left-behind visibility without a second subscription
- Everything on the same map
How the three models differ
One platform and one dashboard. What changes is where the device can go, what it survives, and what it can read off the asset it is wired into.

Asked about the IQ-WIRED-13A.
How is the 13A different from the 68 and the 28?
Why hardwired instead of a plug-in?
Who installs it?
Is there a contract?
Put the IQ-WIRED-13A on one vehicle. See for yourself.
We'll show you what it reports and what the dashboard does with it on a live demo, then you decide. No contract either way.
