E-Logs Vehicle Communications Whitepaper (Final)

The WiFi hotspot could be at a fixed location such as a depot or office. The
advantage to this is that many vehicles can share one hotspot.
If the hotspot is in the vehicle, then real-time data is possible, and any other

WiFi Hotspots
The WiFi hotspot devices range from relatively inexpensive devices (around $50)
from cellular carriers to more rugged devices from a variety of suppliers. Most
hotspots work from up to about a 150 ft distance , but powered antennas and
repeaters (extenders) can extend this range.
Cellular
The ELD device has an optional internal modem and internal GPS receiver. The

Bluetooth
Bluetooth support.
