To date, we have booked orders for over 360 DVM-250 Event Recorders and 58 Asset Tracking Units that will generate recurring revenue from the cloud over the next several years. The simplicity and security of the cloud is rapidly growing and complementing our server-based platforms in a number of commercial markets."
