AirLink Complete ARA Add-On

Description

AirLink® Complete ARA Add-On

ALMS Advanced Reporting and Analytics (ALMS ARA) has all the same powerful core capabilities in ALMS but adds advanced historical reporting capabilities through a series of pre-defined reports that provide insight into the range of telemetry data from AirLink routers and gateways. ALMS ARA includes geofencing capabilities for additional insight, and supports higher data reporting rates from the AirLink devices than is currently available in ALMS. The ALMS ARA features are available at an additional monthly cost for all ALMS users.

Historical Reporting

AirLink devices can collect an incredible amount of information about your devices and their environment. ALMS ARA includes a series of historical reports that leverage this rich, real-time data source. This initial release of ALMS ARA is focused on vehicle telemetry reports and leverages the ability to collect vehicle information by connecting your AirLink devices to the vehicle diagnostic port and wiring it to provide ignition sense.

Zones (Geofencing)

As many of the reports that are included with ALMS ARA are geographic in nature, ALMS ARA includes access to geofencing capabilities. The Zones feature allows users to upload KML files or create Zones in the ALMS UI that define geographic areas. These Zones can be used when running reports to both Include and Exclude results for report generation.

Higher Reporting Frequency

To support the reporting capabilities of ALMS ARA, a supported AirLink device must be configured with an AAF app called AVTA. This application will stream data to ALMS on an as-needed basis, enabling an almost real-time feed of data, depending on the behavior of the device1. ALMS ARA customers will see much more data in the system as a result.

When used with supported and correctly configured AirLink devices (see note1) ALMS ARA supports high-frequency data collection and storage of device data, providing near real-time feed of data and rich historical reports.

In addition, ALMS ARA customers can set the Heartbeat frequency to as frequent as once per minute, enabling devices to check in for ALMS Operations (e.g. firmware update requests, changes to the configuration, reboot requests) on a near real-time basis. Default Status Report and Dataset communications will continue to have a maximum frequency of once every 15 minutes.

Extended Data Retention

The standard ALMS offering stores user data for up to three months, after which it is deleted from the system. Data retention for ALMS ARA customers is extended up to 12 months, enabling a much deeper set of data for analysis and reporting. The default account setting will remain at 3 months, but administrators of the account can extend it to up to 12 months, to align with corporate policies on data retention.
