Low-frequency mesh network for vehicle telematics data transmission

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a mobile device, from a first sensor device, via a first communication protocol, a first data packet including vehicle telematics data associated with a vehicle, the vehicle telematics data captured using one or more sensors of a second sensor device coupled to the vehicle, wherein the first sensor device received the vehicle telematics data from the second sensor device via a second communication protocol that has a range of over one mile;
• generating, by the mobile device, a second data packet including the vehicle telematics data and an identifier of the second sensor device;
• and
• transmitting, by the mobile device, the second data packet via a third communication protocol to an external computing system.

A method comprising:

• determining, by a first sensor device coupled to a vehicle, that a first data packet transmitted via a first communication protocol failed to be delivered to a first mobile device, wherein the first data packet includes vehicle telematics data associated with the vehicle;
• in response to the failure of the first data packet to be delivered to the first mobile device via the first communication protocol, generating, by the first sensor device, a second data packet including the vehicle telematics data associated with the vehicle;
• and
• transmitting, by the first sensor device, via a second communication protocol, the second data packet to a second sensor device, wherein the second communication protocol uses a frequency less than 1 GHz with a range of over one mile, and wherein the second sensor device is configured to transmit data packets to a second mobile device via the first communication protocol.
