Who the ST-901 Is Built For
Individual Vehicle Owners
If you want to protect your car or motorcycle from theft, the ST-901 paired with the Traxelio platform gives you live tracking, geofencing alerts, and remote engine cut. If your vehicle moves without authorization, you receive an instant notification and can act immediately.
Fleet Managers
For delivery companies, taxi and VTC operators, or construction firms, the ST-901 provides the data needed to manage operations: driver location, route verification, driving behavior analysis, and activity reports covering mileage, idle time, and fuel consumption.
Car Rental Operators
Rental companies equip each vehicle with an ST-901 to enforce geofence boundaries, monitor curfew compliance, and recover vehicles quickly using the kill switch if a renter violates terms.
Motorcycle Riders
The IP68 rating makes the ST-901 suitable for motorcycles exposed to rain, dust, and vibration. Courier and delivery motorcycle operators use it for dispatch coordination and rider safety monitoring.
Installation
The ST-901 is a wired device that connects to the vehicle's electrical system. Professional installation ensures correct wiring of the power supply, relay (for engine cut), and GPS antenna positioning.
Traxelio offers professional installation at 15,000 FCFA. The process covers:
- Connecting the tracker to the vehicle power source (9-72V)
- Wiring the relay for remote engine cut capability
- Positioning the GPS antenna with clear sky visibility
- Inserting and activating the SIM card
- Verifying the device on the Traxelio platform
No DIY wiring is needed. The installer handles everything and confirms the tracker is reporting correctly before leaving.

Getting the Most Out of Your ST-901
- Position the antenna correctly: the GPS antenna needs a clear view of the sky. Your installer will handle this, but avoid placing heavy objects over the antenna location after installation.
- Configure alerts early: set up geofence, speed, and curfew alerts right after installation so you are protected from day one.
- Review reports weekly: activity reports reveal patterns in fuel use, idle time, and route efficiency that save money over time.
- Keep the SIM active: the tracker needs an active SIM card with data to report positions. Traxelio manages SIM data renewal automatically as part of the subscription.
