Combating Gps Jammers: Best Practices

Combating Gps Jammers: Best Practices

The advent of GPS technology has revolutionized the way in which companies oversee their vehicle fleets. Real-time tracking capabilities now enable managers to monitor their vehicles efficiently, a crucial aspect for businesses heavily dependent on transportation. The integration of fleet GPS tracking has significantly enhanced operational efficiency and speed for these companies.
Azuga's advanced tracking system provides numerous advantages, such as efficient route planning and effective fuel management. Regrettably, the presence of fleet GPS jammers can hinder your operations. Let us delve deeper into the topic of GPS jammers and discover strategies to safeguard your fleet from their disruptive influence.
What are Fleet GPS Jammers?
GPS jammers are compact transmitter devices that allow drivers to hide their whereabouts. By emitting radio signals on the same frequency as your fleet GPS device, these jammers create interference that hinders the GPS device from pinpointing the vehicles' locations. Despite being illegal, the simplicity of these devices leads to many drivers flouting the law and utilizing GPS signal jammers.
How Do GPS Jammers Work?
A GPS jammer disrupts standard GPS signals. This disruption makes it difficult for devices to determine their location accurately. A driver can activate a GPS jammer with three easy steps:
They plug the jammer into the auxiliary power outlet.
The driver then places the unit near the fleet GPS tracker.
When the driver activates the jammer, it creates an interference signal that lasts over a 5-10 meter radius of the fleet GPS signal.
Of course, you want to prevent your fleet drivers from using GPS jammers. Not only are they bad for your business, but they can also have serious consequences. They are illegal because they interfere with essential services like navigation and emergency communications.
Three Tips to Combat GPS Jammers

  • Tip #1: Privacy Mode Authorization

  • Some authorized drivers use their work vehicle for personal tasks, like taking it home or running errands during lunch breaks. In these situations, they might prefer not to be tracked. GPS tracking devices often have a "privacy mode" feature, allowing drivers and dispatchers to hide their location and activity temporarily. This feature helps protect their privacy without resorting to using GPS jammers.

  • Tip #2: Jamming Detection for Added Security

  • Advanced GPS tracking devices, like Azuga's Fleet tracking software, can detect GPS signal jamming. This feature safeguards against vehicle theft and aids in recovering stolen fleet vehicles.

  • Tip #3: Tracking Employees Using GPS Blockers

  • Even without jamming detection, you can still catch employees using GPS blockers. When an employee activates a GPS blocker, it shows as a missing or interrupted trip on the tracking map. Additionally, you can set up alerts for GPS signal errors to notify management when interference occurs. Using a blocker would likely draw more attention to their actions.
