Industrial-grade fleet gateway built for emergency, commercial, and OEM vehicle programs. Dual CAN bus, multi-constellation GNSS, BLE sensor bridging, and optional Starlink — in one ruggedized IP67 enclosure.
The capability to connect with Battery Management Systems via dual CAN-BUS interfaces is what sets FC-501 apart — but the global connectivity, ruggedization, and sensor bridging are what keep it deployed.
4G/LTE with 3G/2G fallback — reliable communication in every market iMatrix serves.
IP67 enclosure and J1455 compliance. Built for harsh vehicle environments.
Two CAN ports. J1939, CANopen, and RAW protocols supported simultaneously.
GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS — precise positioning everywhere.
Bluetooth, Ethernet, plus GPIO and serial for peripheral integrations.
6-axis gyro + accelerometer. Impact detection, tilt, roll, and tamper events.
Optional 150 mAh battery assist. Continues reporting through ignition-off and power loss.
FC-501-SAT integrates with satellite internet. Uninterrupted service in remote areas where cellular doesn't reach.
FC-501 gathers readings from iMatrix wireless sensors via Bluetooth and from your vehicle's built-in sensors via dual CAN bus. It transmits over 4G LTE or Starlink to iMatrix Cloud, which stores and processes your data 24/7.
