RAM® Mounts Develops World's First CAN Bus Storing RAW Truck Data Directly to Tablet
RAM® Mounts, a leading provider of rugged mounting systems, is proud to announce the launch of the RAM® Mounts patented GDS® CAN Bus, the industry's first CAN Bus harness that passes both power and RAW truck data directly to a device. This innovative solution allows users to bypass the need for intermediate telematics units and subscription services and employ third-party software or develop their own applications, providing unparalleled flexibility and control over vehicle data.

How GDS® CAN Bus Works
Unlike traditional CAN Bus systems, which rely on a subscription-based model, the patented GDS® CAN Bus offers a streamlined and cost-effective alternative. Traditional CAN Bus systems involve a complex process where RAW truck data is sent to a telematics unit, transmitted to a web server via a cellular network connection, and then pushed to the truck's user interface. This not only incurs ongoing subscription fees but also introduces potential delays and data integrity issues.
The patented GDS® CAN Bus streamlines the data retrieval process and drivers experience by:
  1. Direct Data Storage: Captures RAW truck data and stores directly onto a tablet, ensuring immediate access and control.
  2. Open Software Compatibility: Empowers companies to select their preferred third-party software or develop their own applications, promoting innovation and customization.

  3. Cost Efficiency: Provides the opportunity to opt out of a subscription-based service to reduce long-term costs and simplify data management.

  4. Integrated Power: Instead of forcing drivers to choose between power and data, the patented GDS® CAN Bus provides power alongside the data transfer via the USB-C connector.

RAM® Mount's patented GDS® CAN Bus
RAM® Mount's patented GDS® CAN Bus seamlessly integrates with GDS® Vehicle Docks, ensuring a secure and reliable installation in any vehicle environment. It also comes in two unique configurations to cater to different vehicle types: the FMS connector and the 9-pin connector. These options ensure compatibility with a wide range of trucks, allowing businesses to choose the one that best suits their vehicle's specific requirements. With this new product, GDS® Technology continues to set the standard for innovation in the industry, providing robust and adaptable solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern transportation.
