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.
