Networkcar Selects Siemens Modules For Networkfleet Wireless Vehicle Management System
San Diego (SPX) Jul 25, 2007 Networkcar announced that it has selected the Siemens TC63 wireless module for its award-winning Networkfleet wireless vehicle management system that connects fleet managers with every aspect of their vehicle operations. The Siemens module is integrated into the Networkfleet in-vehicle device, which collects and wirelessly transmits data directly from a vehicle's engine computer and from a global positioning system (GPS). Networkfleet transmits GPS location and engine diagnostics wirelessly from the vehicle to a network operation center. Fleet managers can log on to a dedicated Web site anytime to view specific vehicle data such as current location, fuel consumption, mileage, speed, emissions, and idle-time through a secure, easy-to-use web application. Customers using Networkfleet also receive instant email notifications when a vehicle goes beyond pre-set limits. Siemens TC63 covers all four GSM (global system for mobile communications) frequency bands and has the capability to provide machine-to-machine (M2M) connectivity on any GSM or GPRS (general packet radio services) network throughout the world. It can be connected to a wide range of devices, enables high-speed data transfer, and operates in a wide temperature range (-30 to +65 degrees C). "We have a true partnership with Siemens. They have gone above and beyond our expectations in providing support for product design and in contributing their expertise in M2M and wireless applications," said Keith Schneider, president of Networkcar. "With the integration of Siemens' technology, Networkfleet customers will gain increased data transmission speed, higher reliability, and wider geographic coverage." "For some time, Siemens has been aware of the strength of Networkcar's position with key customers in the Telematics market," said Peter Fowler, vice president of the Wireless Modules Division, Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc. "This partnership underscores our companies' commitment to delivering the latest technology and capabilities to the market place. It is also a great opportunity to work with key members of the Networkcar team." Related Links HUGHES Telematics Networkcar Car Technology at SpaceMart.com
