They say you can't have it all — fast, smart, and affordable.
"You can pick two," the old joke goes.
"Fast and smart? Sure, but not cheap.
Cheap and smart? Okay, but not fast.
Fast and cheap? Possible, but forget smart."
But what if you didn't have to choose?
With our embedded CAN decoding library, you can have all three. Here's how.
The Old Way: more Hardware, more Hassle
Traditionally, accessing and decoding vehicle CAN data required a more complex setup:
- An AVL telematics unit,
- A separate CAN reader,
- And a CAN data converter.
This meant extra installation steps, higher hardware costs, stock management headaches, and longer integration timelines.
To address this challenge, we use the FMS Gateway Compact — a dual-function reader and converter. It streamlines the setup by combining two devices, and we support partners in connecting it to their AVL unitsStill, it's two devices. And that's one too many.
The New Standard: Embedded CAN Decoding
Our breakthrough is integrating the CAN Decoding Library directly into the telematics device's microcontroller (MCU). No extra hardware. No redesign. No compromises.
What That Means for You:
- ✅ Cheaper — One device instead of more.
- ✅ Smarter — Built-in decoding logic powered by a library covering over 2,500 vehicle models.
- ✅ Faster — Remote firmware updates, simplified installation, and no CAN converter hardware shipping or stocking.
Built for Real-World Telematics Integration
We've designed the embedded CAN decoding approach to be as plug-and-play as possible:
- Our library runs on your existing MCU — no hardware changes.
- We provide a tailored demo board to help your engineering team integrate it within weeks.
- The decoding engine is optimized for low resource usage, so it runs smoothly with your firmware.
- Annual updates keep you future-proof with 300–400 new vehicle models added each year.
Why settle for less?
This isn't just an upgrade — it's a shift in how telematics devices handle vehicle data.
With:
- Global compatibility across EMEA, LATAM, and APAC,
- Support for ICE, hybrid, electric, CNG/LNG vehicles,
- Flexible licensing (per device or subscription),
- And full technical support and customization options…
You don't have to pick two. You get the full package.
Forget the old trade-offs. With embedded CAN decoding:
- You don't need extra hardware.
- After integration, you don't need extra time.
- And you don't need extra budget.
You get smart decoding, fast deployment, and lower cost — all in one compact, future-ready telematics unit.
Fast. Smart. Cheap.
