Frequently Asked Questions

How is the High-Gain Antenna installed on a Kenyan fleet vehicle?

TrackAlways technicians install the High-Gain Antenna at your yard or a partner workshop in Nairobi and regional towns. Most light-vehicle installs take 45–90 minutes; tank sensors and trailer locks take longer because of calibration and mounting.

Is the High-Gain Antenna compatible with the Venus fleet platform?

Yes. The High-Gain Antenna is sold and supported as part of TrackAlways deployments on Venus, so live data, alerts, and history appear in the same East Africa fleet dashboard used in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Ethiopia.

What battery or power setup does the High-Gain Antenna use?

Power depends on the model. Wired trackers run from the vehicle 12V/24V supply with a backup cell; e-locks and BLE sensors use their own packs. Use the specifications on this page for the exact capacity and standby time.

How is the High-Gain Antenna priced in Kenya?

Hardware is quoted per unit plus a Venus subscription after a fleet assessment. Call +254 116 257 285 or email sales@trackalwaysafrica.com with vehicle count and use case for a Kenya or East Africa quote.
