Data forwarding
The Data forwarding widget in Navixy enables you to transmit GPS tracking and telematics data from Navixy to other servers and third-party applications using API and web services.
What is data forwarding?
Data forwarding (or data retransmission) is a feature that allows you to send GPS tracking and telematics data from Navixy to other servers or third-party applications in real-time. The types of data that can be forwarded include:
Vehicle data
GPS location
IoT device data
Data forwarding can be done either offline or nearly instantly as data is transmitted.
Main purposes of data forwarding
Government regulation compliance: In some countries, authorities require vehicles to transmit data (such as location and speed) using specific protocols to comply with local laws.
Enterprise integrations: Large businesses, particularly in sectors like retail or logistics, often require their suppliers to send GPS and telematics data to their systems to meet contractual obligations, such as ensuring timely deliveries or maintaining specific conditions (like temperature) for cargo.
Data consolidation: Integration of various components within complex software systems often requires data normalization, especially when these components are provided by multiple independent vendors.
How data forwarding works
Collected vehicle data is sent in a specified protocol format to an address and port determined by the user. Navixy offers various data forwarding protocols that can be selected based on your specific needs within the user interface.
Managing data forwarding
You can manage data forwarding through the corresponding widget in the "Devices and settings" section.
In this widget, you can:
Link one or more retranslators to a device.
Specify the ID used when sending data (by default, the same ID as the device itself is used).
Unlink retranslators from the device.
Create new and edit existing retranslators by clicking the "Protocols" button.
Retranslators management
When managing a retranslator, you can configure the following parameters:
Name: A convenient label for easy identification.
Data transfer protocol: Choose from the supported protocols.
Destination server address and port: Specify where the data should be sent.
Login and password: For authorization on the receiving server (if required).
Retranslator activity: Enable or disable the retranslator as needed.
You can create multiple retranslators if your subscription plan allows it. Retranslator profiles can be edited, deleted, or suspended.
