Data Forwarding


Transmit GPS tracking and telematics data from Navixy to other servers and 3rd party apps using the API and web services.

What is data forwarding?

Data forwarding (data retransmission) is a software feature that allows sending Navixy GPS tracking and telematics data across servers or to 3rd party applications in real time. Data that can be forwarded may include the following:

  • Vehicle data
  • GPS location
  • IoT device data

Data forwarding can be carried out offline or near instantly at the time of data transmission.

How data forwarding works

The collected vehicle data is sent in a protocol (format) to an address and port specified by the user. Navixy offers various data forwarding protocols options based on your specific needs inside of the User interface.

Data forwarding has three main purposes:

  1. Government regulation compliance
    In some countries, authorities collect data about vehicles (location, speed, etc.) using specific protocols in accordance with local laws.
  2. Enterprise integrations
    Typically, large businesses in spaces such as retail or logistics require suppliers to send GPS and telematics data to their systems to meet contractual obligations (e.g. timely deliveries, temperature or vibration thresholds for cargo levels).
  3. Data consolidation
    These protocols are needed to integrate various components of complex software systems that often require data normalization; especially when those are provided by multiple independent vendors.

Managing data forwarding in the platform

You can manage Data forwarding using the corresponding panel in the “Devices and settings” section.

In this portlet you can:

  • Link one or more retranslators to a device
  • Specify the ID that will be used when sending data (by default, the same ID is used as for the device itself)
  • Unlink retranslators from device
  • Create new and edit existing retranslators by clicking the “Retranslators management” button

Retranslators management

For the retranslator, you can set the following parameters:

  • Name (any, serves for convenience)
  • Data transfer protocol (of supported)
  • Destination server address and port
  • Login and password for authorization on the receiving server (if required)
  • Retranslator activity (enabled or disabled)

You can create as many retranslators as you want, if it is not limited to your subscription plan. Retranslator profiles can be edited, deleted or suspended.
