    The NX35 device is designed to accurately track position and other data of vehicles or assets and report this data to a data center. The NX35 is used to gather information relevant to fleet management services, to plot a vehicle position on a map and also follow the route taken by a vehicle during a journey. The position and speed of the vehicle is sampled using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and reported through a Cellular Modem data link with industry standard communication protocols.
