CompassCom Introduces Solution for Tracking Vehicles with Mobile Computers
CENTENNIAL, COLORADO. 24 June 2002 – CompassCom, Inc. today introduced CompassTrac Mobile, a new software product that displays Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) information on a mobile computer in the field where public safety commanders and fleet managers often need it the most.
CompassTrac
Mobile is the latest product in CompassCom’s suite of asset tracking and
location based service products. CompassTrac Mobile is an in-vehicle AVL solution that tracks and displays the
location and status of vehicles in multiple fleets on a single display.
“CompassTrac
Mobile will aid police and fire commanders with their Homeland Security efforts
by monitoring incident locations and reducing response times for emergency
personnel,” said CompassCom President and CEO, W. Brant Howard.
CompassTrac
Mobile can be
installed on a laptop computer or other portable display device with a wireless
data communication link and mounted in a command vehicle or carried into the
field. Emergency response field commanders no longer need to rely on secondhand
information from dispatchers because CompassTrac Mobile allows them to monitor
vehicles while traveling to an emergency.
Features
of CompassTrac Mobile include
n
2-way text messaging which relays text messages
between dispatch and mobile units, and
n
Vehicle status messaging which sends a vehicle
status message to a computer aided dispatch system by request either in
specified increments or in real-time.
CompassTrac
Mobile allows any commander or dispatcher to see the fleet on a digital map
display, view incident locations, and estimate time of arrival.
