No place on Earth is immune to viruses, which means that doses to fight various diseases are needed by people in very diverse places, including '''remote and hard-to-reach locations'''. Some of them might not have proper road infrastructure or modern means of transportation. All this raises the risk that precious cargo might not safely reach its final destination, not excluding '''the danger of thefts''' either. Keeping the track of the whole transportation process – from the manufacturer to last-mile delivery – is essential.

Challenges with distributing vaccines are many and Teltonika Telematics is ready to offer solutions to meet them aptly. Among a wide range of tracking devices, FMC130 is one of the finest choices for the industries involved in delivering immunization supplies. The '''advanced 4G LTE GPS tracker has a fallback to 3G and 2G networks''', accordingly, granting the best possible coverage and very reliable connectivity.
Teltonika Telematics trackers support Bluetooth® (BLE) technology, which is key in ensuring that '''the required temperatures are maintained''' throughout the entire time while vaccines are being transported. Using this technology, GPS trackers are connected with BLE sensors that monitor cargo temperature. The values to watch are configured depending on a particular vaccine’s specifications.
Certain BLE sensors, equipped with external probes, can monitor temperatures '''as low as -80°C''', this way meeting even the most stringent requirements for the supply chain, including the COVID-19 vaccines. Whenever a diversion from the set limits occurs, a notification is sent. The company in charge of transportation, being alerted, can take prompt actions to find out the reason and remedy the situation.
BLE sensors from different manufacturers are available on the market. If BLE sensors broadcast their data, the clients can connect them to our trackers using advanced configuration settings. In case it is connection-type BLE sensors, they can be used by proceeding with the firmware development.
Besides making certain that vaccines are transported, stored and handled at tightly controlled temperatures, GPS tracking devices facilitate distribution by giving the possibility '''to track shipments real time'''. For the delivery process to be effective, one needs the ability to know where the cargo is at any given time and – in case something goes not according to plan – be notified immediately.
This is exactly what GPS tracking is about. Our trackers provide '''an accurate location-based information''' with many additional data to make wise and appropriate decisions. Changes and adjustments can be implemented on-the-go to optimize routes, prevent delays and solve unforeseen situations. The ultimate goal is precise and timely deliveries – even taking into account the massive scale and urgency of the COVID-19 vaccines’ logistics operations.
