Geotab has introduced its next-generation GO and GO Plus telematics devices, built to deliver enhanced processing power, stronger data intelligence, and improved connectivity for large and complex fleet operations. These newly launched devices are designed to help agencies extract more value from their fleet data while simplifying hardware deployment.
“Fleets are under pressure, rising costs, tighter margins, and increasing complexity. The GO device family was built to meet that challenge,” said Raymond Dikun, Vice President, Hardware Product Platform & Connectivity. “It includes more functionality out of the box, so customers do not need to add hardware or build custom setups to get what they need. It’s a simpler way to handle complexity and keep businesses moving forward.”
Upgrades
The updated GO platform offers expanded built-in functionality, including native Bluetooth for driver apps and wireless asset tracking, and enhanced processing power for more responsive data analysis.
The GO Plus device is engineered to support advanced AI models at the edge, enabling real-time analytics for mission-critical decision-making. Built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, satellite-ready connectivity through partners, and internal battery backup for high-resolution incident data capture may be particularly relevant for federal agencies operating in remote or high-risk environments.
The GO: The New Standard for Fleet Efficiency
The GO is the ideal standard for modern fleets, delivering high-integrity diagnostics and essential connectivity in a company-efficient package.
Next-Generation Vehicle Optimization: Specifically tailored for the latest vehicle architectures to provide deep, high-integrity diagnostics for fuel tracking, engine health, and EV performance.
Native Bluetooth Integration: Features built-in Bluetooth to support driver apps and wireless asset tracking, eliminating the requirement for add-ons.
Advanced Control Hub (Input/Output Pins): Includes integrated support for input/output monitoring to track specialized metrics like Power Take-Off (PTO) and enable remote tasks such as vehicle immobilization.
"Last Gasp" Tamper Protection: Equipped with an integrated supercapacitor energy reserve that sends an immediate notification if the device is unplugged or tampered with, aiding in theft recovery.
Full Ecosystem Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with the GO Focus camera family and all IOX add-ons, providing a scalable foundation for Cold Chain, Public Works, and more.

The GO Plus: Engineered for Complex Operations
The GO Plus is engineered for complex operations, government-grade security, and environments where consistent connectivity is critical.
Expanded Global Connectivity: Enables satellite-ready tracking through select carrier partners to ensure continuous asset visibility in remote areas without the cost of additional hardware.
Integrated Wi-Fi Hotspot: Provides high-speed connectivity directly to driver tablets and Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to maintain in-cab productivity and uptime.
Native Wi-Fi Client Mode: Facilitates faster, automated data uploads via office or depot Wi-Fi, solving for data gaps in locations with unreliable cellular coverage.
Accident Reconstruction: Utilizes a dedicated internal battery to capture 5 seconds of high-resolution "truth" data, preserving critical context even if vehicle power is lost during a collision.
Government-Grade Security: Engineered for strict government security requirements.
The next-generation GO and GO Plus devices are slated for availability in North America in Q2 2026, with a global rollout to follow.

Real-World Impact
For federal fleet managers, that means deeper visibility into vehicle diagnostics, utilization, fuel consumption, and driver performance; these are all critical for compliance reporting and lifecycle cost control.
For public works, utilities, and mixed municipal fleets, real-time monitoring of engine health, idle time, fuel usage, and driver behavior can help reduce maintenance costs and improve vehicle uptime.
For law enforcement, fire, and EMS fleets seeking deeper operational insight without additional hardware complexity, the new GO family aims to provide scalable intelligence in a compact form factor.
