Dual CPU
The Force One Navigator features a dual-processor design that separates computing and automotive control tasks for maximum stability and efficiency.
Main CPU
Samsung ARM 400 MHz processor
Optimized ARM architecture for efficient performance
Low power consumption for continuous operation
Built-in graphics support for smooth interface performance
Secondary CPU (AITP — Automotive Intensive Task Processor)
Handles power management and safe shutdown
Calculates speed, distance, and wheel pulses
Supports Wake-Up on Ring for remote activation
Manages Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware and software updates
Always active, it can switch the terminal and peripherals on/off automatically
This architecture guarantees high reliability, remote control capability, and optimized energy use — ideal for professional fleet operations.
Ideal for fleet management and job distribution
The Force One Navigator is a state-of-the-art all-in-one terminal for fleet management and job dispatching, combining connectivity, GPS tracking, and automation in a single compact solution.
Key Features:
GPRS modem for stable, high-reliability communication with the operations center
U-Blox 6 GPS receiver (50 channels) for accurate vehicle positioning, compatible with the GALILEO system
Independent module control: GPS and GPRS can be activated or deactivated separately from the Windows CE system
Hardware MUX port for sending AT commands while connected via GPRS — allows connection checks, signal diagnostics, and modem statistics in real time
AITP processor manages all communication and location functions, even when the main system is off — handling both power and data exchange autonomously
Integration with the Digitax Device Track platform for full fleet supervision
Together, these technologies ensure continuous fleet monitoring, efficient communication, and complete control over vehicle operations.
Digitax SDK for APP and solution integration
The Force One Navigator includes a ready-to-use Digitax SDK, designed to simplify the integration of advanced automotive systems and external applications.
Key benefits:
Easy connection with CAN Bus, I/O controls, and custom peripherals
Rapid development of professional fleet applications
Full technical support from Digitax during integration and testing
This open architecture allows developers and system integrators to create tailored solutions, ensuring full compatibility and reliable performance across Digitax platforms.
Customizable User Interface
The Force One Navigator features a 4.3-inch 16:9 TFT display (480×272), offering a clear, responsive interface for professional applications.
The integrated touchscreen controller and nine LED-backlit hardware buttons enable quick, reliable control — reducing touchscreen wear during intensive use.
The ambient light sensor automatically adjusts brightness for optimal visibility in any condition, ensuring comfort for the operator day or night.
A programmable smart power button adds flexibility and control, allowing you to:
press briefly to boot from the system disk
long press to boot from the microSD card
long press (safe mode) to shut down the system safely
It can also be disabled or configured to activate Ghost Mode, simulating a shutdown while keeping essential functions active.
Dual boot function
The Dual Boot Function allows you to restore or update the entire system at any time, from user applications to the operating system and CPU firmware.
The terminal can boot from two different drives:
Flash Disk — used for applications and operational data
microSD card — dedicated to large data storage (maps, images, logs, videos) or system recovery and initialization
This configuration ensures maximum reliability, simplifying maintenance, updates, and field diagnostics.
Stealth Mode
Stealth Mode keeps the system fully operational while the display remains off.
It is designed for security, monitoring, and energy-saving scenarios where silent operation is required.
Main functions:
Driver monitoring:
The control center can remotely wake up the device, even when the screen is off, to check vehicle location, listen to internal audio, or access diagnostic data.Ghost Mode:
When the power button is pressed, the system can enter Stealth Mode instead of shutting down.
This keeps it active in the background, reducing power use while remaining ready for emergency actions.Alarm management:
When the system is off, pressing the alarm button can trigger a stealth startup.
During this hidden start, the terminal can automatically send alerts, GPS data, screenshots, or audio to the operations center.
In every mode, Stealth Mode ensures silent operation, remote monitoring, and enhanced fleet security.
Reliable, Long-lasting and Compact
Force One Nav is an extremely durable and robust product. Designed to be extremely reliable in all professional applications.
Certified for Professional Use
Force One Nav is fully certified for R10 and R21 OIML regulations, as well as the European MID certification for use as a Taximeter and MDT in the same device.
