Advancements in Zonal Architecture
Understanding the shift from domain-based to zonal control for weight and cost reduction.
The AT-TCU-5-B-100 acts as a compact, high-efficiency automotive telematics control unit installed directly into your assets. By capturing location dynamics and critical hardware signals, this fleet telematics device streams secure edge data to the cloud.
Utilise a dedicated track-and-trace framework featuring multi-constellation GNSS tracking to pinpoint assets exactly, improving total route transparency across logistics networks.
Interface directly with existing vehicular electronics using a built-in telematic control module structure that supports standard CAN 2.0 and CAN UDS data paths.
Transmit critical fleet telematics solutions metrics over high-efficiency LTE Cat 1 pipelines using TCP/MQTT protocols guarded by TLS 1.2 encryption and external hardware-level security.
Manage distributed assets with zero field overhead using secure over-the-air firmware upgrades via HTTPS and direct CAN communication loops.

AT-TCU-5-A-110 pairs a Linux telematics platform with automotive-grade interfaces and secure connectivity. One unit built for the demands of connected fleet management, OEM integration, and regulatory deployment.
An industrial-grade Linux NAD with eMMC storage up to 64GB gives ACON-4T PRO the processing depth to handle complex fleet data, richer analytics, and faster firmware evolution than standard TCUs.
Internal HSM with upgradeable external HSM and TLS 1.2 encryption protects every data transmission. Security is built into the hardware, not layered on after.
Firmware updates over HTTPS, RS232, CAN, and RS485 give fleet teams flexible lifecycle management across the entire deployment, with or without depot access.
Eight digital inputs, dual CAN 2.0, RS232, RS485, and Dallas 1-Wire support connect the sensors and sub-systems a modern fleet depends on, from fuel monitoring to driver behaviour.
CAT4, CAN FD, external HSM, and WB-NTN satellite are all upgradeable. The platform grows with the programme instead of being replaced by it.
