Release Date
The new feature has been available to all users by Aug 19th, 2023.
Introduction
Wi-Fi Hotspot updates allow fleets to get a simplified way to understand data usage, help ensure drivers use wifi hotspots for business purposes, and ensure that drivers remain compliant all the time.
Wi-Fi Hotspot Overview
Once the new feature rolls out, you will notice the following changes:
- We are showing true Wi-Fi hotspots rather than combining all the data together.
- We no longer shut off devices when they hit their limit but instead throttling them.
- We are blacklisting streaming sites so that people aren’t able to abuse data.
- We are providing better visibility of the hotspot status and data used month-over-month.
- We have lowered the allotment to its true amount to remove the added data for other sources.
- We are lowering the vehicle threshold to prevent abuse from individual users.
