Transportation

Fleet owners and transportation infrastructure managers demand wireless solutions that are open, secure and scalable to enable cost-effective communications, location and tracking of assets, and deployment of new services for new business needs. Railway operators want to deploy connected solutions that enhance safety and operations, and provide onboard wireless services for passengers. Wireless connectivity improves efficiencies for:

  • Fleet owners (fleet management solutions, mobile asset tracking, fuel management, driver duty logs, dispatch optimization, navigation and route planning)
  • Road authorities (eToll, eTax)
  • Leasing or insurance companies (Pay as You Drive, Buy Here Pay Here, stolen vehicle recovery)
  • Solution providers of vehicle aftermarket applications
  • Railway industry operators, service and solution providers, and system integrators
