TechnoCom To Equip 12,500 Vehicles With GPS Reporters

The Location Messaging Unit

Encino - Apr 03, 2002
TechnoCom Corp has begun shipments to Vericom Technologies, of it Location Messaging Units as part of a 12,500 unit contract for the innovative GPS tracking and reporting system that includes in-vehicle data collection location devices and a wireless LAN infrastructure.

TechnoCom's ability to quickly and cost-effectively apply components from its broad family of location-enabled products was a key factor in Vericom's selection of TechnoCom's solution. TechnoCom was able to meet Vericom's unique requirements with minimal development and begin rapid production shipments.

The in-vehicle device for Vericom's fleet management solution is based on TechnoCom's Location Messaging Unit (LMU) that utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology.

TechnoCom's unique event-triggered status reporting agent, Programmable Event Generator, (PEG) is used in conjunction with TechnoCom's LM Exchange "plug and play" location-based, air interface-neutral middleware platform.

Vericom's Data Management System is designed for large fleets that want to reduce risk and maximize efficiencies by automatically and wirelessly collecting and analyzing detailed vehicle and fleet information, while avoiding the ongoing cost of accessing a cellular wide area network.

The system's wireless local area network operates at each fleet's central location (vehicle yard or terminal). Once a vehicle is within range of the wireless network, it automatically downloads events stored within the in-vehicle unit.

The in-vehicle unit can collect and store up to 10,000 events allowing vehicle status to be monitored even when vehicles are away from the local area network for extended periods. Vericom also plans to provide its customers with the flexibility of using TechnoCom's cellular solutions using TechnoCom's advanced LM Exchange platform.

"We are very pleased to be working with Vericom Technologies, an ascending leader of efficient, cost-effective data management technology for smart fleet management," says Masoud Motamedi, President of TechnoCom Corporation.

"TechnoCom provides Vericom Technologies with a flexible relevant-time solution that takes advantage of our industry-leading intelligent AVL hardware and software to complement their innovative fleet optimizing products and services."

"Based on customer demand for a cost-effective fleet management solution, Vericom and TechnoCom have worked diligently to develop a `relevant-time' device that is unique to the fleet management industry," said Ernest Bayless, President and CEO of Vericom Technologies.

"Utilizing TechnoCom's event triggering capabilities, Vericom's solution is able to monitor thousands of events a day and provide customers with customized exception reports detailing specific vehicle and fleet activity."

Headquartered in Encino, California, TechnoCom Corporation is the wireless location industry's premier provider of software, systems and services being used to implement, optimize and manage complex location systems and networks for wireless E911 and commercial location services.

Five of the top six wireless carriers in North America rely on TechnoCom to help implement their wireless E911 and location-based services. TechnoCom is a privately owned company that was founded in 1995.

TechnoCom sells its location products to the industry's largest integrators and service providers. Over 30,000 vehicles use one of TechnoCom's location messaging products in GPS-based location applications that include telematics, fleet management, mobile commerce, public safety and asset tracking.

The LM Exchange platform provides users with a wireless network-neutral "plug and play" middleware solution and the ability to select from TechnoCom's array of air interfaces: CDPD, GSM, GPRS, iDEN, CDMA, Mobitex and other RF networks. TechnoCom is led by a team that helped pioneer wireless location technology, as well as deployed and operated location systems around the world.
