Architecture & GPS hardware
Hello Fabric community, I'm building a fleet monitoring platform for trucks/vehicles and need architectural guidance for using Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, as well as GPS hardware recommendations. MY SCENARIO: ------------ - GPS trackers sending location data every 10-60 seconds via TCP - Data includes: GPS coordinates, speed, fuel level, engine RPM, temperature sensors, driver behavior (harsh braking, acceleration) - Need to support multiple tenants (each customer sees only their own fleet) - Planning to scale from 50 vehicles to 1000+ vehicles - Want real-time dashboards + historical analytics + automated alerts - Future: add video/dashcam capabilities MY PLANNED ARCHITECTURE: ------------------------ GPS Devices → TCP Server (Traccar/custom) → Azure Event Hub → Fabric Eventstream → Eventhouse → Real-Time Dashboard QUESTIONS: GPS Hardware: ------------- 1. What GPS tracker brands/models do you recommend that integrate well with custom backends and Microsoft Fabric? I'm considering Teltonika FMC920, Queclink, or Concox - any experience with these? 2. Which GPS devices have the best open protocols for parsing data and sending to Azure/Fabric? 3. Any recommendations for GPS trackers with OBD-II support to read vehicle diagnostics (fuel, RPM, error codes)? Microsoft Fabric Architecture: ------------------------------ 4. Is Eventstream + Eventhouse the right approach for high-frequency GPS telemetry data? 5. What's the recommended way to implement multi-tenancy (row-level security) for different fleet customers? 6. Should I use KQL Database or Lakehouse for storing historical GPS data (months/years)? 7. Any recommendations for handling geofencing alerts in real-time using Activator? 8. What Fabric SKU (F4, F8, F16?) would you recommend starting with for ~100 vehicles sending data every 30 seconds? I'm based in Mexico and planning to deploy this commercially for fleet owners. Any guidance from people who have built similar IoT/telematics solutions with Fabric would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!Solved6.7KViews0likes4Comments
