Start of tracking with WanWay on the GPS-Trace

We are excited to announce that WanWay trackers are now integrated with the GPS-Trace platform, offering users and partners even more opportunities to enhance the efficiency and reliability of GPS tracking for their fleets, vehicles, and other assets.

Previously, only one model from the entire WanWay line could be used in the Ruhavik and Forguard applications, and only in the legacy category, meaning with limited functionality. Now, users and partners can use various WanWay device models to enhance the efficiency and reliability of GPS tracking of their fleets, vehicles, and other assets in GPS-Trace applications using the full functionality our platform provides (access in SetBox, raw traffic from the tracker, and much more).

Additionally, for the convenience of users when choosing and purchasing a tracker, detailed information about each WanWay model has been added to the Devices section on our website.
