    Abstract: A gateway device for providing a dynamic network activation and/or handover is disclosed herein. The gateway device may activate on a first network associated with a primary network subscription identifier and determine to switch to a secondary network associated with a secondary network subscription identifier. The gateway device may disconnect from the first network and activate on the secondary network. The gateway device may access a cached list of networks for the primary network subscription identifier and scan for available networks while active on the secondary network. Based at least in part on the scan, the gateway device may determine that a second network of the cached list of networks is available. In response, the gateway device can disconnect from the secondary network and connect to the second network.

    Abstract: A method performed by an Internet of Things (IoT) device is disclosed. The method includes connecting to an access point of a network, transmitting data to a management server via the access point according to a first schedule, wherein the management server is separate from the access point, receiving a configuration parameter from the management server via the access point, wherein the configuration parameter defines a second schedule that is different from the first schedule, and responsive to receiving the configuration parameter transmitting data to the management server via the access point according to the second schedule, wherein the second schedule was determined by the management server such that when the IoT transmits data to the management server according to the second schedule, a number of connections with the access point by IoT devices that occur at a same time does not exceed a threshold number of connections.

    Abstract: A system receives vehicle metric data from a gateway device connected to a vehicle via a network connection. In a first power mode, the vehicle gateway device gathers vehicle metric data related to operation of the vehicle and/or location data and sends requested vehicle metric data to the system. Based on a lack of input, the vehicle gateway device enters a standby power mode to reduce the power consumption of the vehicle gateway device. The vehicle gateway device reduces the power consumption by reducing activity of the vehicle gateway device. Instead of reinitiating a network connection periodically to receive requests for vehicle metric data from the system, the vehicle gateway device maintains the network connection by sending keep alive messages between the vehicle gateway device and the system. The system uses the maintained network connection to request vehicle metric data.

    Abstract: A management server in communication with one or more object tracking devices is disclosed. The management server may receive location information, configuration information, and orientation information associated with the one or more object tracking devices. Based at least in part on the location information, the management server may receive weather information associated with the locations of the one or more object tracking devices. Based at least in part on the location information, the weather information, the configuration information, and the orientation information, the management server can determine power generated and power consumed by the one or more object tracking devices, which then can be used to determine estimated operation time for the one or more object tracking devices.
