Abstract
Technologies for switching between communication modes in a telematics device includes a communication subsystem having a communication processor electrically coupled to a location antenna to receive location data form a location beacon system and a data antenna to communication with a remote computer system(s). The communication processor may have multiple modes of operation including a location mode in which the communication processor is configured to receive and process location data from the location beacon system and a data mode in which the communication processor is configured to transmit and receive data communications from the remote computer system(s). The communication subsystem may control the operating mode of the communication processor by switching the communication processor between the location mode and the data mode according to a determined switching duty cycle.
