Transforming Fleet Management with Real-Time Telemetry: An Atsign Use Case
Challenge
A large fleet management company needs to improve the reliability of their trucks so they can avoid breakdowns that delay deliveries and can be a costly negative advertisement that damages customer trust. Their current system relies on telemetry that provides infrequent data transmission, limiting their ability to predict and prevent potential issues. Additionally, they incur high costs due to per-data-point charges associated with traditional telemetry models.
Solution
The company is building a real-time telemetry solution utilizing Atsign’s technology. This enables them to:
- Continuously monitor vehicle data: Instead of hourly intervals, the solution collects data every second, providing a more comprehensive picture of vehicle health.
- Reduce costs: By switching from a per-data-point model to a data-streaming model, and partnering with an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), the company eliminates unnecessary charges associated with traditional telemetry.
- Leverage 5G connectivity: Partnering with a 5G modem provider ensures reliable, high-speed data transmission from trucks.
- Optimize maintenance: Real-time insights enable them to predict maintenance needs and schedule service proactively, preventing breakdowns and improving overall fleet efficiency.
- Enhanced security: End-to-end encryption guarantees secure data transmission between trucks and the central system.
Benefits
- Improved reliability: Continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance significantly reduce the risk of breakdowns as well as downtime.
- Reduced costs: Switching to a data-streaming model and leveraging wholesale 5G connectivity results in significant cost savings.
- Increased efficiency: Proactive maintenance schedules optimize resource allocation and improve overall fleet performance.
Key Takeaways
This case study demonstrates how real-time telemetry revolutionizes fleet management. By embracing data streaming technology and 5G connectivity, companies can achieve improved reliability, reduced costs, and enhanced operational efficiency. Ready to optimize your fleet operations?

AI Sprawl: The Network Nightmare Caused by the AI Security Paradox
AI Sprawl is the resulting network complexity that occurs when enterprises must deploy many specialized AI agents to secure and govern the use of large language models (LLMs).
Why the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Demands a Structural Rethink of AI Security
AI agents using MCP bypass traditional network security, demanding an identity-first, Zero Trust architecture to eliminate the risks created by exposed ports and centralized tokens.
Why Our Cybersecurity Industry Is Fundamentally Broken
The $200B cybersecurity paradox is that breaches worsen because the industry’s flawed economic model rewards liability transfer over true prevention, making a shift to preemptive, connectionless Zero Trust necessary.
