AeroAstro Releases New Asset Tracker For Trucks, Trailers, and Security

The S 10-20 requires no electrical connections to the trailer, and installation is accomplished in five minutes without the use of bolts or screws. The ease of installation permits deployment across entire fleets in a minimum amount of time, allowing maximum ROI to the operator. The unit has a battery life of up to 4.5 years, depending upon the frequency of transmission.

Ashburn - Oct 28, 2002
At the Intelligent Transportation Systems show held in Chicago October 14-17, AeroAstro released the S 10-20 asset tracking unit that enables many asset tracking and monitoring applications that were not previously possible due to its low price of only $349, which includes installation anywhere in North America.

The S 10-20 uses AeroAstro's Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS) to transmit data from virtually any location in the world through the existing constellation of Globalstar satellites.

Users view their assets via a website, which features detailed mapping information along with customizable reporting capabilities. The S 10-20 is equipped to allow a variety of wireless sensors to be attached to the unit to detect events such as a door being opened, cargo tampering, or cargo temperature.

Officials in both the government and the trucking industry are concerned about the possibility of trucks being used as part of a terrorist attack. Trucks carrying hazardous materials could be hijacked or stolen and used as weapons of mass destruction. The S 10-20 is ideally suited for Homeland Security applications:

Offers an immediate solution to many transportation security problems
Gives authorities the ability to locate and recover hazardous cargo
Provides position and sensor information from any location
Easily attached to any tractor, trailer, or container
Inexpensive and simple to deploy
Uses the reliable Globalstar constellation of satellites for data transmission, no back road or remote area is out of reach

The S 10-20 incorporates a GPS receiver, satellite transmitter, microcontroller, and long-life battery pack into a slim, all-weather NEMA 4X package. The unit measures only 8.4" x 5.25" x 1" high, making it short enough to fit on top of a trailer without interfering with operations.

SENS service is scheduled to begin in all of North America within two months. Service is planned for rollout in Europe, South America, and Asia during 2003.
