Patent number: 12362964Abstract: Systems and methods for collecting telematics data from telematics devices are provided. A fleet management server includes a first and second data store operable to store a first and second set of telematics data associated with a first and second group of telematics devices. A plurality of gateway servers includes a first and second group of gateway servers in communication with the first and second group of telematics devices. The first and second group of gateway servers include at least one common gateway server. A unified downloader is operable to establish a communication channel between each gateway server in the first and second group of gateway servers and the unified downloader such that a single communication channel is established to each common gateway server.
