Messaging Unit and Platform for Mobile Resource Management
LOS ANGELES--Sept. 22, 2005--TechnoCom Corporation(R), a leading provider of solutions to enable wireless location services and assure their ongoing performance, announces the availability of the LMU-4000, a fourth generation "smart" GPS location and messaging device and platform for mobile asset management. The LMU-4000 adds more affordability and versatility to the well established line of LMU solutions, deployed in over 50,000 vehicles across the Americas and Europe.LMUs support a diverse array of workforce and fleet management applications for government, transportation, field service, logistics and utilities. The LMU-4000 provides the same power of the LMU with lower pricing and the flexibility to connect with an expanded array of external devices and sensors, with the ioPOD(TM) device.
Synovia, a provider of tracking solutions for school bus and other fleets, is the first customer to receive the new LMU-4000. "Child safety on school buses is a big issue. We use the expanded capability of the LMU-4000 to enable safety information about the children and the buses, including identifying children through radio frequency identification (RFID) cards," says Richard Gallagher, president and CEO of Synovia. "The LMU-4000 provides us with more flexibility for this type of critical monitoring and we are pleased with the cost effectiveness of the solution."
Embedded in the LMU-4000, is TechnoCom's industry leading on-board alert engine, Programmable Event Generator(TM) (PEG(TM)), which provides businesses with the capability to generate advanced exception alerts by using hundreds of combinations of variables including vehicular inputs, location, speed, and distance. Reporting thresholds are set to optimize resource management goals, including the monitoring of unauthorized activities and geo-location status. The flexibility of PEG allows the LMU to be easily reprogrammed over-the-air as business needs change.
The LMU-4000 and ioPOD can be seen at the Kyocera booth (2nd floor, booth 324) at CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment show September 27-29 in San Francisco.
