GPS Technology Protects Your Assets and Improves Cash Flow Keeping track of your assets is vital to your business success. By installing the right GPS Technology in the cars you sell to subprime buyers, you can save money, protect your assets and improve your cash flow. But be aware that not all GPS devices are created equal! Network Technology Matters Some devices use CDMA networks. This is an old technology which is slated to start being discontinued as early as 2019, leaving some devices without coverage, and dealers in the dark. Other devices, such as IMETRIK models, use reliable 3.5G GSM networks, a technology which has no announced shutdown date. In fact, Qualcomm has announced that it will stop developing UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband) technology in favor of LTE. CDMA will not be offering 4 LTE. On the other hand, GSM is deemed to be the only network that will be used with future generations of technology such as 4G/LTE. As the IMETRIK platform
already operates on GSM, it will simply continue to support new generations of technology, whereas CDMA will eventually become obsolete. With loans that last longer and vehicles needing to be successfully repossessed and remarketed, it is important to choose devices which you know will last for the years to come. Buy Quality Hardware A GPS device made with commercial grade parts may fail you when you need it the most. IMETRIK devices are engineered with only premiumm industrial-grade components which offer a broader operating temperature range and won’t let you down, as explained by Ken Starr, President of Sunstar Capital in Albuquerque, NM: “The harsh New Mexico environment makes it almost impossible for any GPS unit to survive - that is, except for IMETRIK, which won hands-down in our ruggedness comparison.”
