Business Wire
Novatel Wireless, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVTL), a leading provider of
intelligent wireless solutions, today announced that it has been
selected by Vehicle Tracking Systems (VTS), a premier fleet
management systems provider, to deliver its MT 4100 and MT 3050
devices to support the VTS Silent Passenger application. The
partnership will also support VTS’s migration from GPRS to CDMA
technology.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
- MT 4100: The MT 4100 is a
flexible, full-featured M2M device for fleet management that
delivers key product features that drive the most demanding fleet
management applications. Once fitted into a vehicle and integrated
with a fleet management application, the MT 4100 delivers on
critical features to drive efficiencies and reduce operational
costs. The MT 3060 provides superior GPS location performance using
an on-board smart agent event engine for accelerometer based driver
behavior reporting, geo-fencing, messaging and other events. The MT
4100 also features multiple I/O ports, 1-Wire® interface, Garmin
Fleet Management Interface (FMI) and an M2M API that simplifies
fleet management back-office integration and compatibility with the
on-board smart agent event engine.
- MT 3050: The MT 3050 is an
on-board diagnostics OBD-II plug-and-play telematics solution built
for both fleet management and Usage Based Insurance (UBI)
applications. The MT 3050 features Novatel Wireless’ on board rules
engine that supports customer-defined exception-based rules for
applications such as ignition, geo-fencing, trip reporting and
other events. It also has built-in threshold events to capture
metrics critical to effective fleet monitoring such as excessive
engine RPM, rapid acceleration, harsh braking, vehicle speed and
excessive idling. The MT 3050 delivers enhanced performance
utilizing an innovative antenna design and disconnect alert feature
using an in-device backup battery.
- Silent Passenger: The VTS Silent
Passenger application is a fleet management program that makes it
easy to efficiently monitor vehicles. Silent Passenger integrates
detailed, up-to-date maps with real-time traffic information and
turn-by-turn directions. Silent Passenger is a web-based solution
and as such, users have the convenience and mobility of accessing
the solution from any computer, anywhere, with no software
installation necessary.
- Premier Wireless Solutions (PWS) will
serve as the distributor for the solutions, providing Novatel
Wireless solutions to VTS.
