GO9 RUGGED device

Geotab’s GO9 RUGGED telematics device is the most powerful yet. The GO9 RUGGED offers a 32-bit processor, 4x more memory and 5x more RAM than the GO8 RUGGED®. Similar to the GO8 RUGGED, the GO9 RUGGED offers state-of-the-art GPS technology, G-force monitoring, GEOTAB IOX® expandability, engine and battery health assessments, and communication on the LTE network*.

Vehicle tracking

Using Geotab’s patented tracking algorithm, the GO9 RUGGED accurately recreates vehicle trips and analyzes incidents. The GO9 RUGGED also offers in-vehicle alerts to instantly notify drivers of infractions and — with hardware Add-Ons — provides live coaching for driver’s on-road performance. The GO9 RUGGED does not require a dash-mounted antenna or any wire splicing.

Security

Geotab platform security is designed for end-to-end protection of your data.

Key implementations include:

1. GO™ device and network interfaces use authentication, encryption, and message integrity verification.
2. GO devices are individualized. Each device uses a unique ID and non-static security key, making it difficult to fake a device’s identity.
3. Over-the-air updates use digitally-signed firmware to verify that updates come from a trusted source.
4. Geotab uses independent third-party experts to validate the platform from end-to-end.
5. FIPS 140-2 validated firmware module used for performing cryptography (certificate #3371).

Differences between GO9 and GO9 RUGGED

Engine communication

The GO9 RUGGED does not support the following engine protocols and corresponding engine information:

1. The OBD port location is such that the device protrudes and interferes with entering or exiting the vehicle, or located where it could be inadvertently kicked or bumped during vehicle operation
2. The device isn't fully secured and so may come loose with vibrations or accidental contact
3. An electrical harness or additional wiring is required
4. Vehicle mounting modifications are required to secure the device, i.e. removing of panels; deformed/damaged OBD connector; or physical damage to the electrical wiring
5. 1. The device does not beep six times and power on when first installed
5. The installer questions their ability to complete a secure installation according to these instructions.

WARNING! Do not attempt to install, reconfigure, or remove any product from a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration, or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked. Attempting to service devices while the vehicle is in motion could result in malfunctions or collisions, leading to death or serious personal injury.

Please refer to the GO9 and GR9 Installation FAQ if you have any questions during the installation process.

Installing the GO9 RUGGED device

WARNING! All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, including gas, brake and clutch pedals. This requires the use of a cable tie when securing the device or any extension harness to the OBD connector, securing both sides of the harness. If you do not use a cable tie, vibration in the vehicle can lead to a loose connection which could indirectly cause the vehicle’s engine computer to fail, loss of vehicle control and cause serious injury. Inspect devices and cabling regularly to ensure all devices and cables remain securely attached.

WARNING! If at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed a warning lights up on the vehicle dash or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control, and serious injury.

Important safety information and limitations of use

WARNING! Do not attempt to remove the devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for installation in another vehicle. Not all vehicles share compatibility, and doing so may result in unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle’s engine while in operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically and cause serious injury and/or vehicle damage.

NOTICE: This product does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Configuration, servicing, and repairs must only be made by an authorized reseller or installer. Unauthorized servicing of these products will void your product warranty.
