Core GPS

17/07/2026

Last week's major Telstra outage affected millions of Australians.

We were curious to see what happened across the CoreGPS fleet, so we analysed the mobile network our GPS trackers were connected to at the end of each day.

📊 The results were interesting.

On 8 July, the percentage of our devices connected to Telstra dropped significantly, while connections across Optus and Vodafone increased. By the following days, the distribution began returning to normal.

This is one of the reasons we chose a multi-network SIM platform.

Rather than being locked to a single carrier, CoreGPS devices will roam across all Australian mobile providers, Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, helping maximise the chance of maintaining connectivity when local coverage changes or one network experiences issues.

No network can guarantee 100% uptime, but giving your tracker access to multiple Australian networks provides an important layer of resilience.

It's not just about where your vehicle is today, it's about giving it the best chance to stay connected when it matters most.

Most people never think to ask whether a GPS tracker sold in Australia is actually compliant for use here.

But many ultra-cheap imported GPS trackers online may not even be RCM certified.

What many buyers also don’t realise is that under Australian regulations, the compliance responsibility falls on the Australian importer or supplier, not the overseas factory.

That means businesses importing and selling GPS trackers in Australia are responsible for ensuring those devices meet Australian compliance requirements.

Proper compliance is not cheap either.

It can involve:

• laboratory testing
• technical documentation
• supplier registration
• compliance record keeping
• ongoing regulatory obligations

This process can cost many thousands of dollars, which is one reason properly compliant GPS tracking products are often more expensive than ultra-cheap imported alternatives.

In our latest article, we explain:

• what RCM certification actually is
• why it matters for GPS trackers
• who is legally responsible
• the risks with some cheap imported devices
• what to look for before buying

At CoreGPS, we use European manufactured Teltonika hardware, with devices properly certified for the Australian market, combined with our own Australian hosted tracking platform and a SIM card that utilises all 3 major Australian networks Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, for the best possible coverage.

Most people shopping for a GPS tracker only compare price.

What many don’t realise is that a large number of “Australian” GPS tracking companies are simply reselling cheap GPS trackers and their associated overseas platforms, often hosted offshore in China.

That means your travel history, live location, alerts and tracking data may not actually be staying in Australia at all.

We’ve just published a new article explaining:

• how these reseller platforms work
• how to identify them
• what to look for in the App Store
• why platform ownership matters
• where your GPS tracking data may really be going

At CoreGPS, we built and operate our own tracking platform and mobile app, with servers hosted in Australian data centres.

We’re not trying to be the cheapest. We’re built for customers who care about reliability, privacy, local support and keeping their tracking data local.

Just tucked my 98-Octane in for the night. 🍼
Look, we know fuel prices are a joke, so we made a joke.

But in all seriousness, if your actual equipment is out there unprotected, it’s a target.

CoreGPS gives you the eyes on your gear that you wish you had on your fuel receipts.

The "Don't Be a Drongo" Disclaimer: Our CoreBASIC GPS trackers require a 10-30V power source (AKA a battery and wires). They will not track a Jerry can, no matter how much you pray to the petrol gods.
